Website Usability Equals Better SEO

Today’s SEO tip is very short but it is a really good reminder for us, SEOs, that website success is not primarily about search bots – make it for people in the first place.
The SEO tip is provided by Scott of Usable.co.nz
Make your website as easy-to-use as possible for humans.
For example:

  • use a simple navigation menu located in a conventional position (e.g. top left);
  • avoid jargon except when you know your audience will understand it;
  • be concise!
  • provide an RSS feed by reader *and* email subscription; some humans dislike readers;
  • note that the optimal unordered list size is 5 items before the average brain leaks memory.
