    Hi, guys

    just wondering if internal links "menus, categories.." affect the pr, i mean if you have a pr6 page with 50 categories (internal links), they will all have pr4-5 by the next update? or its like external links (less links = more pr passation) ?

    thanks.

    For the most part if you have a pr 6 directory with say 55 links to other categories then all those categories should get a pr 5. However, this is not always the case, some catogories will show pr 4. I think this happens because some pages did not get picked up in time of the pr snap shot.

    But a more direct answer would be that it depends on how powerful your pr 6 is, if it is a weak 6 then it will only pass off pr 4 to other catogries, a strong 6 will pass a 5, and a very very strong 6 will pass a 6 to other categories as well. The latter is very rare though.

    Try not to go over 60 catogories on the homepage and you should be fine.
