A good navigation across your bands online portals will help your band ten fold

Many people find themselves on a website, and need to be shown how to navigate, while some users come on and know what to look for but can still be persauded to look elsewhere

With a good Navigation system you will see the benefits! All that is required for you to do is on each of your websites, (yourdomain.com then your news, then your forum, your myspace, facebook, lastfm etc etc) Simply advertise yourdomain.com / yourdomain.com/news / yourdomain.com/forum and then everything else is up to you. Its as simple as the fact that YOU own these 3 links, so get the listeners to them first!

The pages on your site Home, Blog, Forum, Audio and where to put them across your own website are key.

When the time comes and you are receiving a lot of e-mails about the same subject, this is when to include your frequently asked questions.  (I believe it is mandatory for a finished product or service to have this)  You can do this in a number of way’s;  Create new pages for your website/CMS or post new topics in to the forum and place as stickies or include their own categories to the forum tree.
