5 Tips to Make Your Site as Easy as 1-2-3 #Navigation
People visiting sites do not want to scroll endlessly to read pages this is why many search visitors leave forums instantly. I am not going by any statistics here but general chat with people I meet and discuss Internet and Website Usage with.
When I say here Make Your Site as Easy as 1-2-3 I actually mean after visiting a page and scrolling 3 times with my mouse wheel I become Impatient and will quickly hit the back button. As an experienced browser user I know to press F3 to find the Exact Keyword I am looking for one the page I am reading there is an extension from Google chrome that will skip to the keywords on the page you are reading after a search query called Google Quick Scroll but most visitors to your site will not be using such browser tools and probably even worse visiting your site with Internet Explore 6 :).
