All the popular
blogging platform structured information in chronological order. Ie at the beginning of the home page and category are the latest posts, and then - later.
This approach is true for blogs news nature or having the character of periodicals. For this type of blog visitors the main criterion "interestno" proposed material is its relevance.
And the same approach imposed engines blog platforms, present educational blogs (for me it is these blogs are of greatest interest).
So what's the problem.
What is the problem
The problem, it turns out that when a chronological structuring possible, in full, without the cost of a large amount of vitality and energy, explore the topic of interest.
Consider the problem in more detail.
It is no secret that the majority of visitors looking for educational materials, beginners.
Junior goes to a search engine, it is gaining interest and request falls on one of the inside pages of the blog.
Very often, this page provides in-depth information that a beginner can not adequately seize due to lack of knowledge. He needs to read the introductory material. And what is most interesting background information is also often present on the blog. But how to inform the visitor? How to keep a new visitor, not allowing him to leave the open spaces of the search engines?
Blogger comes to the aid of a list of similar posts related to the tag read by the (block "Similar Products"), as well as links in the article itself.
If the links in the article to somehow allow to navigate in a particular subject, the block "Related items" lists the title of the post, which does not structured according to the nature of complexity.
Links within the article sent by other materials that have exactly the same problem: unstructured complexity-thematic approach.
Explanation: a complexity-thematic approach is necessary to understand the structuring of the material not only by category, but also by the level of complexity within each particular section.
Newbie can not determine which is the article he has to start learning its interesting topics and in which direction to continue. He has to go to other sites in the search engines to examine in more detail the topic of interest. As a result, the blogger can say goodbye to regular reader.
Ways of solving
The authors of popular blogs have already thought about how to inform the visitor of a new interesting materials. Hence, there are blocks "Popular articles" and the reference to the mega-posts in the sidebar.
This method solves the above problems much better than traveling on dry and unfriendly catalog category posts.
But this is still not allowed The complexity of structure.
In this article I want to suggest a different approach.
Faithful hold of a permanent solution to the novice reader, in my opinion, is the restructuring of the educational material author in complexity, thematic sequence from its default, chronological.
With this approach, the author of the blog itself structures the material in the early links to introductory articles and further increasing their complexity. The blogger can do so efficiently, as it has sufficient knowledge of the subject.
Thus, the key to the newcomer gets structured information such that he used to get in school and in college.
This approach allows you to turn a single visitor who has read his material interest in the search engine found the article and gone forever in a constant reader.
And all this can be realized by using the content of the blog. The content of the blogger adds links to existing materials site, structuring them as I have said, complexity and thematic consistency.
Realization
To implement his plan, you can very simply use the opportunity to blogging platform to work with static pages.
Simply create a static page "Content" and fill it with links and structured description of the blog material in complexity and thematic consistency.
The link to the page "Content" can be placed, for example, a horizontal menu of the site and duplicate the end of fasting.
Additional advantages
In addition to solving the basic problem, the page with the content of the blog gives us a few additional bonuses:
Additional incentives reader to subscribe to a blog. The content can specify the name and description of the materials, which are scheduled to be published and put a link to subscribe to blog updates. The author of the blog will be able to work out ways in which the reader requires additional material for study and, thus, organize writing articles in the right way.
Internal linking. Since we are all obsessed with SEO, is an additional opportunity to implement internal linking with the desired content tags and links
Optimal results can be achieved by using, in addition to the page "Content" block with links to interesting articles in the sidebar of the site.
Once again, this approach is applicable only for educational blogs, which are fully discussed in one or another subject. For online news media content is meaningless, since it is important to them in chronological order, which is formed by a blogging platform by default.
