    Hello,

    I should admit that this page is related to one of my sites. Because of this i am not pasting a live link here. But i am really wondering one thing: How this page get PR3 without having any incoming links? This is why i posted this message.

    http**//www.jroller.com/page/casper/20051205

    Note that the main page of the blog is PR0! I have two possibilities in my mind:

    1. People searched for the keywords and once this page is shown they clicked to the page! So Google counted the clicks on its search results and increased PR of this page to 3.

    2. The page has lots of outgoing links to useful resources and all of these resources are related to blog post. Because of this relevancy the page became PR3.

    Do you think the above conditions are enough to become a PR3. I cant believe this. Any other reasons? Let me know your thoughts..

    Thats just crazy talk! Clicks have nothing to do with PR.

    Outgoing links do not add PR, they can only diminish the amount of PR they pass to the pages they link to.

    The site in question is a PR7. The main page lists all recent posts. At one time that page was on the home page, or linked to from other internal parts of the site. Yahoo and MSN both don't see any links pointing to that page.

    The feed on home page shows non-rewrite urls .com/page/some_username?entry=somthing_or_other But the page in question is mod_rewritten So doing a backlink check to the page URL may not be giving you the links because the non-rewrite version was indexed first. PR still gets passed but all links pointing to the page may have been indexed from the non-mod_rewrite URL.

    Yes, Mong is right. It's because of internal links.

    Can you give an example to those internal links since i did not understand what you mean by internal links? Do you mean Google see that internal link but did not report it?

    Use Yahoo! site explorer to check backlinks whether internal or external.


    Google simply sucks at showing backlinks. :)

    As you can probably see, internal linking is a good to have for PR, however if you cross link it unevenly will result in PR0 or lower PR 1-2 for the theme leaking..

    Theoretically, this is from my experience, that if on every page of your site has got a navigation menu that links to each and every one page on your site. Your PR of all subpages will be equal to the homepage's PR. And sometimes due to your backlinks linking to your subpages from other sites, might increases the PR of your subpages, sometimes will have a higher PR compare to the homepage.

    Hence to fully utilise the PR distribution, please always get other webmasters to link back to your homepage and use different anchor text for good SEO and PR purposes. Becos the distribution of PR is better started from the Homepage. ( PR inheritance ).

    Hope this helps..
