If you're going to use a mega drop down, take advantage of it. Take rei.com for example. Look at the first dropdown for Camping & Hiking. You can click on the main nav item and be taken to a landing page. It also has 4 internal structures, Gear, Gadgets & Electronics, Camp Kitchen, Health & Safety. There aren't any landing pages for these groupings, they're organizational structures to help shoppers locate equipment. There is no corresponding site structure for these groupings. Items listed in these groupings don't just lead to main section pages. There are deep links included in these groups.
REI shows content based on what people are looking for, not on how they organize their content. That's what good navigation does. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
