I'm working on breadcrumbs for a client's website, and I'm asking myself if homepage has to be in its code.I'm mostly concerned by SEO, not really for users navigation.So, is it better to do :With link to homepage and current <div itemscope itemtype=http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb>    <a href=http://someclient.fr/ itemprop=url>        <span itemprop=title>Accueil</span>    </a>    ></div> <div itemscope itemtype=http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb>    <a href=http://someclient.fr/annonces itemprop=url>        <span itemprop=title>Annonces</span>    </a>    > </div> <div itemscope itemtype=http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb>    <a href=http://someclient.fr/annonces/category itemprop=url>        <span itemprop=title>Categorie</span>    </a></div><div itemscope itemtype=http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb>    <a href=http://someclient.fr/annonces/category/produit itemprop=url>        <span itemprop=title>Produit</span>    </a></div>Without link to homepage and current page<a href=http://someclient.fr/ itemprop=url>Accueil</a> ><div itemscope itemtype=http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb>    <a href=http://someclient.fr/annonces itemprop=url>        <span itemprop=title>Annonces</span>    </a>    > </div> <div itemscope itemtype=http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb>    <a href=http://someclient.fr/annonces/category itemprop=url>        <span itemprop=title>Category</span>    </a></div><a href=http://someclient.fr/annonces/category/produit itemprop=url>Produit</a>You can try this codes with Google Structured Data Testing Tool (http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets) and you will see that homepage is not rendered with my first example. So, what's the best solution ? How do you do for your sites ?Thanks !
How to insert homepage and current page in breadcrumbs?
seo;google;breadcrumbs
The important thing, I think, is that you have an obvious link to the homepage SOMEWHERE in the page header. So, if the logo is already linked to the homepage, you don't need a second link in the breadcrumbs, and you're better of saving the space for other crumbs.Since you said you're more concerned about SEO, it only matters if the homepage is linked at least once in the header -- and the logo is the most appropriate place to put such a link.
