Visitors Really Love Book Pages

This article and more to be found in:

I have recently converted a few article "groups" into books. I basically went through certain taxonomy lists and used the "outline" tab for each one to add it to a top-level book page. The result that I found was that I got a much higher percentage of click-throughs with the book navigation than from a taxonomy listing.

Taxonomy Listings are Boring?

The original reason for converting from a listing to a book was because a client of mine was unhappy with the "text heavy" appearance of the listing - she wanted the feel of a portfolio. I had a hunch that the book module might be the answer when I noted that another area of the same website (Wedding Packages), which was a book, was doing well. Meaning that over half of the visitors were navigating from beginning to end.

It will be interesting to see what the effect changing listings to books will have on the future of web design (http://www.networksolutions.com/web-design-services/index.jsp). This could be a way to make text heavy sites more appealing to readers.

It is essential to have a solid page navigation structure for every blog and site. Because it increases the amount of time a particular visitor spend on the site.
