How do I include site navigation without diluting keyword strength

    I have a site with over 100 articles on different subjects. The most recent of these articles always shows up on page 1 of my site.

    On page 1 of my site, however, I also want to list links to all the other articles so that visitors can navigate to them, too. If I do that, however, I'm afraid that all those links (to articles on different subjects) are going to dilute the impact of the article-specific keywords on my main page. (For example, the article on page one may be about dogs, while the navigation links go to articles about cats, horses, ice creams, and record players, etc...)

    I could include these navigation links in an iframe, of course, but then the search engines might not as easily follow all those links and list them as part of my site.

    So... how do I include navigation links that visitors (and search engines) can follow, without at the same time diluting the page-specific keywords in the article that appears immediately below the navigation links?

    Thanks,
    Brian

    I wouldn't worry so much about keyword density. Just put together a website for your clients before you worry about search engines. If you have good navigation, good content and a well put together website; you have nothing to worry about and KW density will be your last interest.

    site navigation will not dilute your keywords that much. besides, keyword density is not much of an important factors anymore as it has been in the past. before, the higher the KW density was, better you would rank but these days, 1%-3% kw density is good enough.
