Some things I like to know about PR/SEO

1) Is there a difference in effect on PR by using image links than text links?

2) Is site.com/directory better than directory.site.com in terms PR?

3) Does every page has its own PR independent of domain?

Thanks!

 

1)Text link are more valued.However, you can improve the importance of image link by adding alt and title keyword in the link tag

2)directory.site.com is much better .there are many reasons.

3)Yes,

 

1) Is there a difference in effect on PR by using image links than text links?
No, as long as the link is a direct link, both images and text links will pass the same PR.

2) Is site.com/directory better than directory.site.com in terms PR?
Neither will make a difference. PR is only passed through links (internal and external) with the same linking structure both will be the same.

3) Does every page has its own PR independent of domain?
Yes, PR is always dependant on the PR of the links that point to that page. Pages have PR not domains

 

Also, both will give you better SERPS rankings if you include keywords in the ALT text.

This really depends on what you are trying to do so more details are needed for a correct answer.

I disagree here. The domain of your backlink does affect your PR in a major way. Note that the Yahoo Directory has a PR8 or something like that but the actual listing pages do not. You get a huge PR lift because your link is on a PR8 domain(or maybe even more correctly HOMEPAGE) not because of the PR of the directory page you are listed.

 

Just imagine putting 1 pixel links, do you think it will be counted?

 

I think not. Using your example, the Yahoo! homepage PR8 (or whatever PR) has already been filtered down fractionally to the inner page on which you are listed. That inner page's PR is the one that will impact your PR.

Check any good backlink tracker that shows the PR. You will find it indicating the PR of your listing page, not that directory's or website's home page.

 

1.) Text links may be better, if you want image links, put alt tags on them containing.

2.) directory.site.com, it easier to optimize subdomains than foldered pages.

3.) yes they have their own PR depending the links of the pages

 

I'd agree with that, the PR is passed from the page that you're linked on and not the site. If your listing is on a PR page, then the PR that is passed is derived from a PR2, that is also divided by the number of links on the page and multiplied b the dampening factor. The PR of the homepage has no direct affect whatsoever.

 

My inner pages have virtually no incoming links from other sites.
My home page does.
My homepage pagerank is filtered down into the inner pages.
homepage =pr 4
1 page deep=pr3
2 pages deep=pr2
So they have there own pagerank but it is dependant on the domain in my view.

 

That's correct, but I'm assuming your index page links to your internal pages? Remember that internal links pass PR as well as external ones

If you had an internal page with no links whatsoever then it would be PR0

 

Regency, that is correct that the domain's PR is important. But the effect of that PR is already passed down to the inner pages to which you are submitting. So whatever that inner page's PR is, that's what you will be fractionally benefiting from. Again, the homepage's PR has already been spread to the inner pages before the inner page passes its portion on to you.

For example, take a directory with a PR6 home page and a PR4 inner page to which you are submitting. The effect of the home page's PR6 is already calculated into the inner page's PR4. You will derive a portion of that PR4 benefit, not the PR6.

 

So if every category of a directory is a separate domain it would get same PR like if it was a inner page?

 

Yes as long as the link structure between each of the pages was the same.

PR is assigned to pages not domains

 

I totally agree with all the above answers...they are perfect to my knowledge
