The original post was asking about better ways to have more page navigation with limited top space for buttons or clutter of too many links in the sidebar. I recommend the Angsuman Redirect plugin, and dropdown page buttons at the top, as used in my real estate blog.

Basically, I have extensive dropdown navigation that consists of pages and sub-pages, but they are blank and redirected to WordPress category pages.  Well, as of an hour ago, I have a lot more information courtesy of Page SEO.  The pages that are redirected to categories have some of the highest page ranks!   Not the destination category page, but the blank page that was redirected, so it got the credit for the content on the category page.

So, you shouldn’t be too concerned about redirecting content in relation to SEO.  I never really was, and did all of these redirects to give my visitors a thorough navigation structure without clutter.  I’m glad I did.
