case study: 1800 page domain, 10 years old, PR6 home page Switch from hover to inverted “L”
If you’re still not convinced…. Run some analytics on home page links
The Mega Menu Long lists of links –  worried about PR circulation –  obsessed about the “3-click” rule –  confused about your own offering Nothing is hidden –  only advantage (?) beyond a hover menu Too many choices = No choice at all
If you’re still not convinced…. Try click tracking your home page links
