Identical links on same page
I have 2 identical links on same page but with different anchor text. I know google will retain only one link for page rank, but I would like to know if the second anchor text will reduce the importance of the first anchor text (for keywords). Thanks.

I am not sure how google will view this but it must happen on more pages than you think. If you have a navigation bar with access to all the pages on your site then any linked text or images will create a second link to that page.

To the best of my knowledge and from my own experience, this would not negativel affect the ranking.
