Hi
I run a global directory at a city level (e.g. you can find restaurants in Barcelona). From this city page (e.g. restaurants in Barcelona) you can visit detail pages. A detail page is about a specific restaurant in Barcelona. My question: every city page links to the detailed pages, but would it make sense to link back to the city page from the detail page (e.g. click here to return to Barcelona restaurant overview)? From a SEO perspective: search engines see all the detail pages link to the city page with the correct keyword phrase (Barcelona restaurants).
Any help appreciated.
Best wishes
Rob

It won't hurt and may help, depending upon a lot of details.
Add in some external links pointing to those pages with good anchor text and you'll be even farther ahead.

Sounds to me like it would make a lot of sense from the user perspective, which means it is probably a good idea!

From a usability perspective, "breadcrumbs" are highly regarded.
These are the links you see at the top of a page, showing you where your current page "fits" into the hierarchy/tree structure of the site.
For example, this particular page we're on right now has this breadcrumb at the top of the page:
High Rankings Search Engine Optimization Forum > Search Engine Optimization > Search Engine Friendly Design & Usability > Internal Linking
I would do this without question.
