Does it affect SEO if my "Menu Label" is a shortened form of my "Page Title"?

[MassMedia]

This might be a very simple question, but I'm just trying to make sure I don't make Google think I'm trying to pull a fast one.  For example, my page title would be "Bridal Fashions", but the menu label would be "fashions" to keep the navigation panel simple and streamlined.

Hi Melissa,

Internal link anchor text DOES has some effect.  It's not huge, and not as important as the page title, by a long shot.  But what you're doing would be very, very common and really not a problem.
