That's the experienced offered by most hardware review sites - AnandTech, DP Review, Toms Hardware, Extreme Overclocking, etc. Certainly to pump up pageviews, and thus generate more revenue.
Having said that, it is still bad design/usability. They could easily fix by keeping the model of separate pages for each topic, but moving the content from the drop down to an index at the bottom of each page, and also use prev/next buttons.
- dublinben 13y agoThere are previous/next buttons on each page, labeled with the title of the preceding or following page.
- ibrahima 13y agoWell, I feel like most of these hardware sites have pretty meaty pages so it's not terrible that they split up their articles, as otherwise they'd be very long pages. Especially Anandtech, some of their reviews are 15-20 pages long - I wouldn't want to read that in one go. Though sometimes I just stick their articles in Pocket and read it that way on my phone, so maybe I'm just rationalizing a practice that I've just grown accustomed to over the years.
