wordpress - SEO - Drop down menus using href="#" -


i've got wordpress website drop down menu in main navigation. menu items not link anywhere, rather on hover, drop down menu displays. pure css drop down menu.

using wordpress menu editor, i've assigned url #, in other words html be:

<a href="#">link</a> 

if user clicks link, url change current page's url # added @ end. page not refresh or reload in anyway.

the other option leave url blank in wordpress menu system, meaning html be:

<a>link</a> 

this not allow click link , doesn't change pointer cursor hand you'd expect on links.

now, seeing neither of these link anywhere, best seo angle?

will google try index of pages twice /# added @ end , causing duplicate content issues?

thanks in advance.
kind regards
willem

willem, yes. according google www.example.com , www.example.com/# different pages. can lead duplicate content penalties , can cause links divided between pages users link both. recommend different setup 301 redirect page without #. there simple wp plugins allow redirects setup in minutes without requiring use of htaccess. personally, use plugin called seo redirect 301s.

hope helps!
