Linking Back to the Same Page

[onlinemediadirect]

What are the other seo's opinions on linking the same keyword you are targeting lets take an example like Trampolines.

So we have a Online shop selling trampolines would you feel it a good or bad thing to link the keyword trampolines from the homepage to the homepage almost creating a loop.

Some SEO's say yes some say no ?

I don't see any reason why you would do this unless you are trying to manipulate the search engines. I would expect that Google and Bing would eventually find a way to ignore these links if they haven't done so already.

Some SEO's say yes as they believe that any anchor text linking is beneficial, but like Acorn-Internet said, value to the user should be #1 as if there is value to a user, then there is value to search engines (most of the time)

I would suggest against it as Google is on a quality rampage right now it seems, so questionable tactics that have negligible SEO benefits (such as this) should be avoided in my opinion.

w00t!

The key question to ask yourself is always 'will this help my users/customers?'

I do know some people that try this, but in my opinion there's no benefit.
