nofollow by links in top down nav menu

    I asked about that in another thread, but didn't receive an answer, maybe you can give me some advise:
    my page is about hotel booking and the most pages are mostly in the form of a list with 20 hotels (pictures, info and so on). So every page is pretty long, that's why I use the same navigation menu on the top and on the bottom of my pages (for better navigation). Here comes the question:
    is it better to put a rel="nofollow" atribute to the links on the bottom, because they are the same as these on the top,
    OR
    maybe when I have two links for every page that is more valued ?

    thx in advance!

    It is normal for a navigation menu to have no nofollow.

    If you want to "erase" redundant menu, try to make your site navigation "deep" like those directories. There are some setbacks about ranking and stuff though.

    Try placing nofollow on your more general pages like about us, privacy policy, or terms and conditions.

    For things like category links I wouldnt worry about it :)

    Good Luck!

    thanks guys!

    I think that one
    "Try placing nofollow on your more general pages like about us, privacy policy, or terms and conditions"
    is the right solution for me.

    Thanks again

    Agree with it, But I think you should work on navigation visibility with single navigation menu only.
