It’s important to grab some precautions to keep your blog with an interesting usability, because there’re some details that not only make life easier for users, also help to track it in the search engines. For those who wish to optimize your blog but don’t be aware of where to begin, the people at Search Engine Watch separated some interesting tips.
Not always a user’ll understand the abbreviations you’re used internally as a reference for what you do or sell on blog, so try to develop in the minds of visitors and realize how they think. Imagine how your product or service (means, in which niche your blog goes to) can be wanted or understood by thinkable visitors. This works for both search engines and for visitors.
» The Nightmare of Navigation: There’s nothing more annoying than getting lost within a site. Therefore, visitors should know in the first few seconds, because the home page, everything your blog offers. If there’s no breadcrumb navigation, the user is on an inside page of the site will never really know where it is. The same works for the search engines. It’s very important to remember that people don’t often – or search engines – go into a site for homepage. But it’s still in doubt that whether breadcrumb navigation affects your blog’s SEO or not.
» Let Visitors Navigate Differently: If you wish users to see the most important information on your website, you’ve to add a easy navigation menu. If you concentrate your products or tutorials in an area called “Tutorials”, for example, directing a tab for this page should be in the main blog navigation. In my blog LabStrike, I use default blogger navigation and if you’re not satisfied with this, can try CSS Based Black & White Drop Down Menu (under Blogger Widgets) to your blog, that seems professional.
» Create a Custome 404 Error Page: Even a well-run and organized blogs (Mashable.com, TecCrunch.com, Digital Inspiration etc...) have the custome 404 error page. However, it’s very annoying when trying to enter a site and that page appears, and this makes it a bad user experience, am I right?
An interesting way of trying to improve this is to create a custom 404 error page, providing the user satisfaction in relation to that unexpected failure. A blank page is always the worst choice. Error pages’re entertaining a good solution. Remember when redirect your error page to home page or allow your visitors to inform you about search errors.
