SEO is a minefield. Trying to use all the conflicting information out there just so your site appears in Google is such a massive time consumer, especially when you have no idea if it’s even going to work.

Very interesting article. But it is also important for your link building to look natural and not an attempt to deceive search engine spiders in search of links. Another way is trying and looking for sites within your industry rather than general, unrelated sites to get links from. So far has been working fine for our business.

I’m not sure whether I don’t get the test or whether I don’t get the comments here but this is what I make from it:
The problem is NOT linking to the home page but the fact that you’re changing it from “home” to a specific “keyword” you want to rank for. If the test is valid (I don’t know statistics enough to comment on that) then I’m sure that the 90 backlinks to “home” is already having a “negative” effect on the homepage when testing how it ranks for the term “home”.
There you’ll NOT see any ranking issues with linking back to your homepage from every single page in the nav menus UNLESS you’re trying to rank for the term “home”. So please don’t go change your menus.
When that is said I’ve actually had a similar thing happen with a +200 page site where I changed the home-link to a keyword term. At first my rankings improved significantly but after a couple of months the site dropped several pages for that specific term.
