Multiple links linking to your home page on every page of your site -& the SEO effect

Suppose your logo, a link in your footer area and a link on your top navigation bar (across your entire site) all link to your home page.
<a href="myhomePage.com">Shopping Home Page</a> // home page link in navigation bar
<a href="myhomePage.com"> <img src="Shopping-logo.jpg"></a> // logo link to home page
<a href="myhomePage.com">Home</a> // link to home page in footer

Will you get an SEO penalty for this? Should you use the nofollow in one or two of those links? Thanks!

  • You will not get a penalty. You are diluting the strength of all of your internal links though. I would get rid of the footer link. It's useless.

    You should not use nofollow for internal links. That would be stupid.

    • Yes, I do agree with you. I also did this for almost all my sites, nofollow tag would be useful if you sell for example a template and would like to add a link to the footer! It's just like a backlink to your homepage.. Then, it would be a good idea to make it Nofollow!
  • If you're using internal links....why do it like that? Contextual links work a hell of a lot better on all platforms, including your own.

    Why not focus on that then?
