When you say that you put text links to describe the content on your homepage, what do you actually mean by this?

I think he means rather than using a link that says ‘Home’ use a link that says ‘Car Insurance’ or whatever.

I like your videos dude. Would love to see more.

Jaspsoftware,

Correct, forget the “Home” link. Use anchor text instead.

In relation to the “Home” link. Do you recommend using no follow links from all pages on a site? Does a link like “Home” not make it easier for the viewer to navigate the site?

Yes, any page on your site pointing to the home page should be no follow. That being said it should also be noted that one can go over board with seo and also get in trouble!

These days I point some links to the homepage that say home while other links use anchor text for what I am trying to rank for.

search google for “google 950 penalty” to learn more about “over optimisation”.

When someone actually learns to explain things starting from the most simple and reaching the point they all love to reach (the more complex) they will be multi millionaires in a matter of a year or two.
