I have a page rank of 2 on my home page, I also a PR of 1 on three seperate internal pages. I don't need page rank on the other 3 pages. How do I make sure that all of the page rank is applied to the home page?... Is this even an issue?
1. on a really optimized website every single page is used to reach out for customers via SE - hence a good PR of every single page is beneficial for such purpose. I have excellent PR on hundreds of inner pages. some having same PR as index page of domain! every single page is an online page suitable to reach out to a variation of keyword to attract additional NEW site-visitors if each page is fully optimized / SEOd. 2. if you are too weak to do so, then add rel="nofollow" to all your inner links.
internal links should be used to transfer pagerank to the most important pages of your website that is the dumbest thing i have ever read
What do you mean that you don't need page rank on your other 3 pages? Are you sure? What you can do if you're linking to a privacy policy or similar page is link to it from a subpage rather than the home page. So instead of linking to it from homepage.com, link to it from homepage.com/aboutus/. Or, link to it from homepage.com, but nofollow the link (and keep the dofollow link on /aboutus). I would have at least one link to that privacy page, though.
You're not taking PageRank away from your home page by linking to other pages. If you had lots of internal links from your home page, you might want to control the ability to pass PR from your home page to your internal pages by using nofollow, but that's not the issue here.
If you are talking about PageRank, then all pages in the down line navigation should have a link back to the home page. This allows the "feed back" of the Page Rank.
I'll explain a bit. This is my first site. It is also my first page ranking. I simply wanted to make sure that the 3 internal pages weren't "leaching" page rank from the main page. For instance, one of the internal pages is my biography page, which is one of the least important pages (at this point) as far as content and serps goes. I thought I might perhaps squeeze another PR point to my main page by somehow keeping the other pages at PR 0.
No. You might increase the PR of your other pages, but that's a 'maybe.' Don't worry too much about the PR of those pages.
Most of my site's pages rank is 4 and below...only 1 page has PR 5. Do you think my site's ranking could go up because of this?
Toolbar PR is often inaccurate, so don't expect it to be any indicator of whether your PR is actually going up or down However the solution is fairly simple here. Figure out which of your site's pages you really want to rank in the search engines, and which you don't care about (like Terms of Service, Privacy Policy etc.). Modify all your links pointing to the ones you don't care about so that they have rel="nofollow". You also want to put nofollow on any external links unless you'd like those sites to receive some of your "link juice." The next time Google updates your index entries, it will take say your homepage, and distribute more of your homepage's "link juice" through the links which DON'T have nofollow on them. The nofollow links will convey no link juice at all.
your internal page have 3 pr it's very good, u put link your homepage url on these three inner page with these u increase homepage pr.
