Now, the reason why I say &#8216;typically not&#8217; rather than a hard &#8216;no&#8217; is just because as soon as I say a hard &#8216;no&#8217; there will be someone who has like five thousand links &#8211; all with the exact same anchor text on one page. But if you have a normal site, you know&#8230;a catalog site or whatever&#8230;. you&#8217;ve got breadcrumbs&#8230;you&#8217;ve got a normal template there&#8230;that&#8217;s just the way that people find their way around the site, and navigate, you should be totally fine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He continues. &#8220;You might end up, because of breadcrumbs or the internal structured navigation, with a bunch of links that all say the same thing, that point to one page, but as long as that&#8217;s all within the same domain, just on-site links, you know, that&#8217;s the sort of thing where, because of the nature of you having a template, and you have many pages, it&#8217;s kind of expected that you&#8217;ll have a lot of links that all have that same anchor text that point to a given page.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Long story short, this isn&#8217;t an issue you should have to worry about. Like with everything else, just don&#8217;t abuse it and make it an issue. <\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=jaS2t353MBQ:JveSiNy8IFU:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=jaS2t353MBQ:JveSiNy8IFU:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=jaS2t353MBQ:JveSiNy8IFU:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=jaS2t353MBQ:JveSiNy8IFU:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=jaS2t353MBQ:JveSiNy8IFU:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=jaS2t353MBQ:JveSiNy8IFU:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=jaS2t353MBQ:JveSiNy8IFU:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=jaS2t353MBQ:JveSiNy8IFU:mfZ73u_VV2s\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=jaS2t353MBQ:JveSiNy8IFU:mfZ73u_VV2s\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/webpronews\/all\/~4\/jaS2t353MBQ\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the latest Webmaster Help video from Google, Matt Cutts responds to a question about Penguin&#8217;s effect on internal links that use the same anchor text.
