I am not using breadcrumbs in my websites. I have read that breadcrumbs will improve rankings in search result. Is it necessary to do it?

Breadcrumbs are useful for navigation purpose which is top of the body content of the webpage. It is important for an e-commerce website to easily browse a collection of products.

It's not necessary to use breadcrumbs on your website, but they can definitely improve user experience and organic search rankings. Breadcrumbs provide a clear navigation path for users, making it easier for them to understand where they are on the site and how they got there. This can lead to longer on-site engagement and lower bounce rates, which are positive signals for search engines.

Additionally, breadcrumbs create a hierarchy of your website's structure, which helps search engine crawlers understand the relationship between different pages. This can potentially lead to more accurate indexing and better visibility in search results.

Breadcrumbs are particularly helpful for websites with a complex structure, multiple hierarchies, or deep navigational paths. They enhance the overall user experience by providing a clear path back to higher-level pages. This is especially beneficial for users who arrive on your site from search engines or external links and may not be familiar with your website's layout.

From an SEO perspective, breadcrumbs can assist search engines in understanding the context and relationship between different pages on your site. This can contribute to more precise indexing and potentially improve the visibility of your site in search results, particularly for long-tail keywords and specific page content.

Breadcrumbs are a navigational aid that helps users understand their location within a website's hierarchy. They typically appear horizontally across the top of a webpage and display the trail of pages leading to the current page, often in the format "Home > Category > Subcategory > Page." This provides users with a clear path to retrace their steps or navigate to higher-level pages.

From an SEO standpoint, breadcrumbs offer several advantages. They provide search engines with additional contextual information about the structure of your website and the relationship between pages. This can help search engine crawlers better understand and index your site's content, potentially leading to improved visibility in search results.

Furthermore, breadcrumbs can enhance the internal linking structure of your website, which is an important aspect of SEO. By creating a network of interconnected pages through breadcrumbs, you can distribute authority and relevance throughout your site, ultimately benefiting the ranking potential of individual pages.

In conclusion, while the use of breadcrumbs is not mandatory, their implementation can positively impact both user experience and SEO efforts by providing clear navigation paths and additional context for search engines.

I don't think so breadcrumbs will help to improve ranking But Breadcrumbs are important as a viewpoint of users.Through breadcrumbs you can easily find yourself where you are currently.  Breadcrumbs appear like this:

a->b->c->-d

This above structure shows your complete visiting path and also show your current position i.e "d".

Breadcrumb is the way by which we provide the links on the top of the post so that user know from where he started and where is right now. So we can say this is the way to see the user navigational way in the website. You ca use it in body part of the web page and you can call it for all the web pages with the help of include function.

Breadcrumbs are used to give away pathways to the user in order to navigate him properly. They acts as the heading for the given page & it supports very less in SEO as compared to meta tags.
