Navigation menu is the most important widget that every website or blog have. There are main two types of navigation menus. Horizontal navigation menu and Vertical navigation menu are the these two types. In vertical menu links are listed in vertical order one by one and in Horizontal menus, links are listed in inline. We can add a horizontal navigation bar at the top of the page like in the header section. Also vertical navigation bar can be placed in the sidebar or footer of a web page. These navigation bars help both reader and site owner. Some reasons that you should add a navigation bar are listed in below.
- Ability of navigation within pages easily : This will make your site user friendly site and consequently bounce rate will be reduced. Also number of page views for one visitor would be increased and Alexa rank will be increased quickly.
- Flow of link juice : This is a very important factor to remain the page rank in each page. Generally in most times, Backlinks are focused to the main page or home page. So by adding navigation menu, you link each page in home page, archive page and other pages. So the possibility of inflow of link juice to post pages is high. That will ensure the search engine ranks of your post pages.
- Ability of linking categories and Older posts : Categories or Labels are the grouped posts such as Archive pages. Archive pages include the posts within a time period.Also category pages contain posts that belong to each tag and category. To increase the page views, you can add category links/Label links on the menu bar.

These 10 vertical menu bars are some of widgets that can be used on any site. I didn't use JavaScript or Jquery and so 100% sure that the menu bars will be loading quickly with no HTTP requests.
These vertical navigation menus work in all major browsers with Chrome,Mozilla Firefox,Opera and IE 10. I didn't check older versions of browsers. However you can check the code on the old browsers and share your experience with us.
