How do you name the home page link (the link to your index page) on the footer menu on your internal pages - do you name it "home" or do you name it the main keyword/s of your website?

I've actually been changing mine today, I'm using the keywords instead of "home" now. And I'm linking to "www.domain.com" instead of index.

The only thing I worry a little about is of having too many links with the keyword - thought I heard something about that in the buzz.

[I put quotes around the example URL to UNhyperlink it. Admin.]

On my latest site, I am using the keyword for my domain to link to the home page. The site I am referring to is in my signature below.

If I discover any problems, I will update this post.

I'm still debating - when I run my sites through sitereportcard.com, my keyword density's a little high.

So now I'm wondering, should I link with the domain name and get a little higher keyword density, or link with "home" and lose that anchor??

What do you guys think?

My own view is that one more instance of a domain name keyword on internal pages doesnt mean that much - not enough to worry about anyway. I suggest you show it whichever way makes it easiest to your readers. To me that means "Home" since that is what people are used to.
