One of the important aspects of site optimization is creating abundant, keyword-rich links between pages of the website. Breadcrumbs are a great mechanism for creating these links. The larger the site, more numerous these cross-links become. The “deeper” the page on a hierarchical site, the more links it will have to other pages.
