All the experts agree on two things: 

This much we know. However, from there most give suggestions like make eye contact for about three seconds. While this is true, with everything else you have to concentrate on while presenting, who has time to count! So here's a practical suggestion. 

Think I-eye contact. The I stands for Ideas. Let's explain this simple concept. If you were sitting around a table of people you met for the first time, you would look at a person while asking a question or making a comment. Let's say you looked at someone and said, "Who do you work for?" You would keep eye contact until you completed that idea. You would seem shifty and not interested if while asking that question, you looked around at other people at the table.  Similarly, when presenting ideas to an audience try to complete an idea while looking at someone in an audience before moving to another person. Let's illustrate this another way. 

I like to imagine myself aiming ideas at people in the audience. Their eyes are the center of the bulls eye. I-eye contact helps me keep my eyes on the prize—making that connection with the audience. 

Good luck. Come back often.
