In SEO, if an incoming link points to a particular part of a page and not the top of the page, will the page still receive credit for the link? Example: Is <a href=http://www.mysite.com/something.htm> equally valid as <a href=http://www.mysite.com/something.htm#section2>, or would Google, et al refer to them as two separate pages (mysite.com/something.htm and mysite.com/something.htm#section2)?? Thanks!
"As a site owner, you want to seek links from good pages that are related to the terms you want to be found for. Linking strategy is not a trick as many get rich quick merchants would have you believe. Links for the sake of links have no value whatsoever. Indeed, they can damage your rankings. So forget about link farms and other such nonsense. A small number of inbound links from great, relevant sites will be much more valuable than many links from low-traffic, irrelevant sites. However, you should not become obsessed by link popularity alone. Treat linking as one important aspect of your Search Engine Optimization strategy. Decide how much time and effort you are prepared to invest in relation to your other activities and be disciplined about your approach. Monitor your results and adapt your strategy as necessary."

you ranted on and on and still never answered the original question. You plugged your site in the post even though its already in your sig. Don't tell him about linking strategy and look at the site you are promoting in your sig. To be honest I don't know, I've never thought about that.
