Full Version: Location of subscription box in NavBar

Hi everybody,

On http://www.best-dog-food-guide.com I have placed the subscription box for my e-Zine on the navigation bar at the top.
Though not on the homepage and now I'm wondering:
- is this disturbing?
As you read the page you get away from the navigation area (this is because my pages are usually 1000 words) and now the buttons are more to the end these are reached more quickly.
But I can't decide and keep doubting whether to relocate the subscription box to the bottom of the navigation area (like Benthino has).
So please give your opinion in this thread and/or give your vote in the poll at the top of this page.

I suspected that to be your philosophy for putting it on top.

To get most peopel ti sign in, maybe your position is slightly better, but still, whats more important.. your navbar including your important 2nd tier pages or the subscription box?

I think its just personal, but I think that my navbar should come prior to the subscriptionbox when we talk about importance.

So I would put it on the bottom of my navbar, as I did: http://www.yoga-mind-control.com

Ps. I accidently voted "On top of the navbar."

Maybe that's a sign you should just leave it there Wink
Thanks Benthino for your response.

I've put the poll here to see whether everybody would say 'leave it at the top' just because I did not want to go into each and every SBI page again. I think this is a flaw in the blockbuilder. You can't decide to have it on top or at the bottom on all pages without telling this on each single page. So I'll have to put some elbow grease on soon and just it done. Final argument for me is that I don't want the subscripton box on every page + I don't want the menubar to shift all the time as ones navigates through my site.
You can put the big subscription box you used on the bottom of your home page on the bottom of each page.

That's how I generated 20,000 subscribers to my marriage counseling site in the first year or two (I don't have subscription box anymore on that site).
Hi Nisandeh :-) hope you had a nice holiday. Good to have you back.

Now that I think of it... visitor reads page.. end at the bottom.. then finds the subscription box. Better than navbar. I had just changed it to the bottom of the navbar (editing each individual page).
