Possible Duplicate:Do search engines penalise Home links and/or buttons? My work colleague has recently had conversations with some SEO consultants and after those conversations she has come to the conclusion that having a link to the home page on the home page will have a negative effect on the websites SEO.And because of this we are now building websites that don't have a home link show until you are on any page other than the home page.If the above argument is true then surely then if we are on the about page of a website we shouldn't show a navigation item for the page we are on, and that would the case for any other page of the website...So my question is:Does having a home navigation item on the home page have a negative effect on the websites SEO?And if not:Why has my colleague come to the above conclusion? Could she be misunderstanding something more important about home links on the home page regarding SEO?
Is having a 'home' navigation item on the home page negative to your sites SEO?
