Not traffic. Your site visitor can go anywhere they want on the site. What we would be doing is controlling where Google would put the internal ranking into the site.
Another words if I have a web design site and fix the site so all my internal power is moved to one page that talks about custom website design. Then I rank #1 for custom website design but loose all the ranking for the rest of the site, was it worth loosing all my ranking power to the other pages?
And what will the affect of all those pages linking back to my home page be now that I am not longer linking to them?
Maybe my home page no longer ranks for web designers, which is more important than custom website designs.
And now that Google is no longer visiting my privacy page or contact me page is it possible that they could no longer she me as a real business and I could drop in rankings because of this?
Not saying not to use it but would have to wonder if it was worth it in the long run.
