Link cannibalization

[mmaes]

My on page report card gives me an "A" in every category but "link cannibalization".

The key word is I am targeting is "home care".

It says my links to "home care blog" and "in home care agency locator" are cannibalizing my home page. Am I indeed causing problems by using these modified versions of the keyword?

Also is it okay to have the link "home care" for the home link in the main navigation bar?

Thanks

Are you using "home care blog" and "in home care agency locator" as the target phrases on the other pages that you are linking to? For example, are you targeting "home care" on the discussed page, and the others phrase on other pages?

If so, I'd say to ignore the link cannibalization warning.

Yes, this is correct, the anchor text for the links question "home care blog" and "in home locator" link to my agency locator page and home care blog which are targeting those terms.
