Linking to it's own page

I've seen the following on some websites.

www.SITE.com\Internal-Link-A

Then on page Internal-Link-A, I've found certain keywords on the page link to:

www.SITE.com\Internal-Link-A

E.g. it's a page that links to itself.

Is that useless, or does it hold any value????

    If you use jump-links then Yes, it can help with SEO, because it can get you an extra hyperlink at the front of the ranked SERP description.

    A jump-link is the same page URL + Name tag to identify where the link should jump to on the same page.

    Example, If I had a link at the top of my page I could let traffic click the link to jump down the page to the product description like this:

    Link code at the top of the web page:
    Code:
    <a href="http://domain.com/product-xyz#description">Click here for product description</a>
    You have to have the pound symbol (#) between the page URL & the jump keyword/ID, in this example #description.



    Code that traffic won't see goes directly above the HTML that creates my product description.
    Code:
    <a name="description">
    Here's a real jump-link (below) that Warrior Forum creates, though they open all jump-links in a new window/tab, it's still a jump link.

    Hey Yukon, thanks for the response.

    You say:

    Would that be beneficial more for click through rates rate than SEO?
