Scenario…. You have a blog on Blogger, either using a blogspot address or your own url, but you think it would be to your advantage to delete the Blogger navigation bar, (also universally known as the “Nav Bar” throughout the blogosphere). Before you jump to delete the Nav Bar from your Blogger blog, why not consider the advantages of leaving it intact? Advantages of the Blogger Nav Bar? Could there possibly be advantages to you? You bet there are!
Having two three blogs of my own, using the Blogger platform, I fully understand the thought that it looks sort of corny to have it at the top of your blog, but the advantages of having it on your blog outweigh the disadvantages! So, what are the advantages?
First Advantage of the Blogger Navigation Bar:
Blogger recently improved the Nav Bar appearance by adding two additional colors to choose from.
Second Advantage of the Blogger Navigation Bar:
Blogger now enables the “Next Blog” feature to take you from your blog to the next blog of similar topic, or related niche. With that in mind, you may even come up with a new blog post idea as you are inspired by what others have written in your same blog niche, while surfing through using the “Next Blog” feature. Prior to this improvement, your odds of landing on a blog of similar topic or niche, were just not there. Now Blogger has a targeted approach to have you land on a blog of like-interest! However, keep in mind if your blog doesn’t have good enough keywords established for what your blog is about, or if it’s too new to have those keywords established then the next blog you land on may not be relevant to yours.
Third Advantage of the Blogger Navigation Bar:
When you click through using the “Next Blog” feature from your blog, you increase your chances of gaining a new visitor, or better yet a person with a blog in the same niche that would desire to give you a link! If they’re a savvy blogger they’ll notice a visit from your blog to theirs in their Google Analytics stats, or from other traffic stats services.
Fourth Advantage of the Blogger Navigation Bar:
As busy as bloggers are, it’s always nice to complete tasks in less time. With the Blogger navigation ‘next blog’ feature, it will save you some time searching for blog posts or blogs, which are relevant to yours to leave your comments. It’s quicker to select ‘next blog’ than doing a search compared to some other means, and then you can leave comments on blogs that write about the same topic or niche.
So, I challenge you to look beyond the less than desirable looks of the Blogger Nav Bar, and instead focus on the possible advantages of leaving the Blogger Nav Bar intact! Happy blogging!
