Remarks
This method creates the node as an internally linked node, if possible (internal links to both published and draft items are supported).The type specified can have an important effect on how this node behaves. Heading and Link types are straightforward but an SPNavigationNode can also have an Area type or a Page type. In these cases, the SPNavigationNode becomes a placeholder for the Web site or Web page to which the URL points. Only one Area or Page placeholder is allowed per unique Area or Page; additional placeholder nodes are automatically deleted.
