Breadcrumbs
We’ve called the Boffins to try and help decode this, but they were no help.
What’s going on here is indecipherable:

Q: Are Breadcrumbs important?
A: I think they are very important if you don’t have content on page. If you have a lot of content, the importance decreases.
For example http://wiki.answers.com is using it. This technique imho is some gray seo technique, if it doesn’t bring any value to the visitor. It’s a sort of keyword stuffing and when people will exploit it too much google will develop algorithms to detect and devalue it.
I would say that location attribute are the best from seo perspective, but I think it depends on the website structure you have and on what seo weight you want each type of page to have.
seriously, this is pretty much entirely nonsensical.
Our non-shit answer:
Breadcrumbs are important for Users and for SEO. Make sure you don’t do anything stupid with something like javascript generating the breadcrumb from the browser history or anything, it needs to be staticly rendered in HTML where you can control what’s in it.
