Very kindly lady at G instructed me to remove multiple keyword variations from nav menu links and site bounced right back to top within a week.

Thanks for that, hitsusa. I've helped a few people with that approach but it's the first bare whisper I've heard of the advice coming from a Google source.

Sorry for being dense.. Can someone explain this a little more? I suspect it might be a problem in some of my sites.

Are we talking about something where I have a widget site and on each page have a nav bar that reads

big widgets¦little widgets¦ugly widgets¦green widgets

or even
Widgets:
Big¦little¦ugly¦green

especially if you just have a picture of a widget on each page and there isn't much differential text

If it isn't what I'm thinking, I'd appreciate any enlightenment.

(added)

if I am correct above, then I assume that it would be better to have a main page listing all the widget variations and just have a 'back to widgets' link on each page instead of a navbar listing all the widget types. (end added)

thanks
