The main benefits of having a great navigation structure for both search engines and people
are:
Indexation - If the search engines such as Google can follow your structure from Homepage
right down to the lowest levels, then it will get to “crawl” (see) every page on the site. It means
that as long as the rest of the site is optimized correctly, every page on the site should be
indexed in the search engines.
Following on from this, any new pages you add should get indexed more quickly as the site can
be crawled more easily.
Usability - It gives a better impression of the website to the search engine due to its usability
for humans. Big search engines look for this mainly.
You should always focus at designing a simple website structure, as you should be going to
innumerable unknown users.
