While browsing the Happy Cog Studios website, I noticed the unique navigation menu. It does not consist of a few simple words that link to another page, the menu is actually a sentence. This is the only site I know using such a special menu.

From SEO point of view this is a wise choice. Search enginge bots will use the text on top of the page to describe the website. This text contains the site’s keywords and link them to their pages. I think this is the best menu you can have if you want to rank high in search engines.

Since the menu is a sentence, the user is almost forced to read it. The visitor immediately knows what they can expect. But this is only effective for navigation menus with a small amount of links. You don’t want your visitors to read a whole book before they can navigate through your site.

Maybe I should make this kind of navigation too? I’ll start right away with thinking of a few scentences.

P.S.: I’ll be on holiday to Italy for 2 weeks, so I won’t be able to post then.
