Right-side navigation bars are nonstandard. It should be moved to the
left side. Don't accept the search engine excuse; that's easily
fixable. Also, by fixing the search engine issue you punish Lynx
users; the navigation menu is now near (but not at) the end of the
text.

Lynx is an example of a non-GUI browser. All non-GUI browsers would
suffer similarly.
FWIW, I much prefer the navigation bar on the left no matter what
browser I'm using.
