Number of links in new nav bar

[RogerElliott]

Hi

We've just had a spanky new design implemented on Hypnosis Downloads.com

My concern is over the top nav. While it's nice for users to get those handy dropdowns, it adds a lot of links to every page, and spreads link weight out equally over all sorts of pages.

The place I really want the link weight is under the Downloads link - in those categories and so I am thinking about removing dropdowns for everything but this category.

Does that sound like a sensible move to you? Is it likely to actually make a difference?

Cheers

Roger

You should always cater to the users of the site over any seo guidelines. If you think having the nav set up in this manner will increase conversions, that should be the only concern you have.

Thanks for your answer. The thing is, I think any conversion increase would be marginal, if any. So if we assume no improvement in conversion, what would you say then?
