Having proper navigation is important as it also helps to increase the page views for your blog. Blogger users are aware of the Newer Posts and Older Posts links at the bottom of the blog.
It is pretty irritating at times for visitors when they want to check posts that are present on the 5th or 11th page. They have to click on the Older page link 5 or 11 times. It is obvious that in such a situation many visitors wont even try to go that far and may visit another blog. This results in less Page Views for your blog. Here is what Lauren of Nymfont has to say about the default links.
