Breadcrumbs keyword repeats

[Dan-Lawrence]

Hi

I have a client project who's developers platform is populating the category part of the breadcrumbs with the header tag.  Since these include the pages primary target keywords/phrase they are being repeated in the breadcrumbs increasing the keyword/phrase count on the page as well as repeating/duplicating the sentence.

Can this cause problems ? or not because Google knows its not part of the page content/body copy (because its a breadcrumb) ?

Cheers

Dan

If it's the category that the items on the page fall into, probably not.  If the inserted keyword leads back to a page outside of the category, it may be a little spammy.  From what I understand, breadcrumb produces codes based on where the viewers was on the site, so if the inserted code looks like all the other dynamically produced html, I don't know how G could distinguish that, other than it doesn't fit the content on the page.

Thnaks for commenting Alrockn !

it definately fits the content of the page, just worried about it increasing kw rich word count & repeating key phrase sentence. but if i understadn u correctly then so long as fits content which it does then should be ok ?
