What is Breadcrumbs in SEO?

Breadcrumbs are the link trails at the top of the page which show what pages you went through to get to where you are. For example, the ones for this thread are:

FP Home » Managing Online Forums & Websites » Search Engine Optimization

I'm not sure how to optimise them for SEO, but I assume it would involve using strong keywords that you want to capitalise on, or something.

Breadcrumbs allow a user to retrace their steps from your home page to the page that they’re currently viewing. They can reflect the structure of your website, a logical path or attributes of the current page.

Types of breadcrumbs are:
1. Location Breadcrumbs
2. Path Breadcrumbs
3. Keyword Breadcrumbs

A “breadcrumb” (or “breadcrumb trail”) is a type of secondary navigation scheme that reveals the user's location in a website or Web application. The term comes from the Hansel and Gretel fairy tale in which the two title children drop breadcrumbs to form a trail back to their home.
