Making Websites for High Visitor Retention
For the novice webmaster, learning how to make websites, it is essential to focus on navigation and internal linking. The navigation of the website’s design is essential for visitor retention and a lower bounce rate. Whent the site is so confusing that a visitor cannot find what they are looking for they will likely leave and move onto another site. The simplicity of the navigation is a crucial aspect of the website and greatly determines how long the visitor will spend on the site. The best option is to use the traditional left hand sidebar for navigation since that is the traditional place and where most surfers will look. Internal linking is also important and there should be links within the content of all your pages leading to other related pages of the site.
