How To Get The Most Out of Your Site Navigation

By Mark Johnson


If you have ever made a site that just totally failed, then we really can sympathize with that lost feeling. Since you have read the title, you know we are here to tell you about site navigation and how to do it well. Navigation is one of those things that people will not think about if it is good, but they will think about it if it is bad.

While you may think that site templates mean you can ignore navigation, the truth is you really cannot be that lazy about it. There are many good, worthy websites out there that don't get a favorable response from their visitors just because the navigation isn't right. Actually, navigation setup is not hard to do, but there is a bit more to be learned if you want to use it to help your on page SEO.

You can make additions based on your content and page layout such as placing a "TOP" link at the bottom of pages that are long. It is a very simple matter to do, and there is no real reason for not doing it in our minds. We believe this is something you must do on all of your longer pages otherwise you will be forcing people to scroll all the way up.

You do want to have a site map page for any type of site, even though making them for static non-blog sites can be a little bit of a hassle. We think that not many people use them, but of course we could be wrong - but search engines definitely use them. Bottom line is they are worth it, and the plugin variety makes using them a total no-brainer. No excuse for not having one, so be sure you get one today and install it if you are not using them, currently.

Simple ideas that can make a big difference to your website's overall navigation if put into action. There is no need to get too stressed about all this because it is really very easy to put in place and make it work well. It may not always be apparent that you do have a navigation problem, and sometimes you may need to get someone more experienced to take a look at it.
