Duplicate Links

[tylerfraser]

Hello,

I am entering sitewide navigation that will go to primary seo pages. This is really for usability, not for link juice.

I'm wondering if I should still link to these very important pages in my index page's content. Or if I should consider those navigation links strong enough. If I did link in the content, then I would have more than one link to the same page on my home page.

Thanks

Tyler

One of my most important jobs as a webmaster is to get website visitors to do what I want them to do.

That's how you make money.    (pig nose intentional)

If I have an opportunity to make money by getting them into a specific page then my job is to promote that page strongly.  Of course, I want the visitor to be happy but my job is to make money.

I don't have any problem with promoting a money-making page twice (or three times!) on a single URL and there is no better place to promote my best stuff than on the homepage of the site.

If I read this correctly. Two links on one page pointing to the same page. One in a menu, one in the body copy.

That is perfectly fine. Google will only count the first instance of the link, but does tend to give more weight to body copy links.
