Link juice site structure?

[BobAnderson]

If we have a top nav with contact us, about us, delivery, FAQ, Gallery, how to order ect but none of these we want to rank and then we have the usual left hand nav.are we wasting juice with the top nav and would we be better either removing it and putting them further down the page or consolidating them and adding an extra products tab so the product pages are first.

If you put them in the footer may be better. you certainly don't want the, on every page.

Could you not make the top bar un-crawlable as I do like the fact that all of these are at the top but the problem I have is that I don't want to be wasting power on pages I do not want to rank.

You wont waste any link juice it will come back to you, these are internal links with links back to the home page, linking to these pages and back to the home page will increase the PR on the home page
