Hi guys, I was wondering about something. If I put some links on high PR websites BUT the PR is high only for the homepage and not the page where my link is then does it matter if put my link on PR8 or PR1 sites? Thanks!
This is a great question. I hope someone can give you a good answer, I'll be monitoring the responses. I know I have a PR1 home page, but the rest of my site is PR0. I've never had anyone care where the link is placed. Great question!
hi puddleofmud, i think you are giving a wrong information, if you are getting a backlink from a high PR homepage, it will for sure getting a credit from SE and improvement in SERP, it doesnt really matter what is the PR of the inner page that you get your backlink from in order to increase your SERP.
Inner page link of high pr domain really helps to get fast SERP. Yes, If you get link from PR8+ domain, you are getting more points. The PR of the home page is too considered as well as the niche and all. So, that will give you increment in SERP. However, Your inner page should get indexed by google to see increment in SERP.
The page rank isn't only measure of link equity. Link from page with 0 PR on trusted domain will help your rankings more than link from page with 5 PR on domain who has no real value except high PR. There are sites with high PR and poor rankings. Importance and relevance of entire domain, not only particular page linking to you, is always counted.
Yes, google counts the PR of the page where your link is. This means that if you post link on the homepage with PR2 it is better than posting link on PR8 homepage (with PR1 on the page where your link appear) But important remark is that after some time if the page where your link appear has fast link from homepage (up to 2 stages) it will increase PR (up to 6-7)
Just remember, pagerank is assigned to the PAGE, not the SITE. So if you link is on a PR0 page, then that's what you get credit for. However, also keep in mind that if that homepage is PR8, and it links directly to the page that your link is on, and the page your link is on has good, quality, unique content, then there is a good chance that the page your link is on will eventually be assigned a good amount pagegrank. When considering this, keep in mind that the closer to the hompage, the more pagerank it is likely to receive. For example, if the homepage is pr8, and it links DIRECTLY to the page your link is on, and the page your link is on has good, unique content, then it is likely to eventually receive a pr5 or pr6. But, if your page is two clicks away form the homepage, and it has good, unique content, then it will probably only get a pr2 or 3 at best. And it your page is three clicks away from the homepage, it might not receive any pagerank at all. So, the proximity of the page your link is on to the homepage is important, as is the content on that page.
Guys guys, PR of the homepage can be considered only for traffic and Serps placement purposes for the anchor text you placed with the link. Having a link on a PR0 page on a site whose homepage is PR9 doesn't contribute as a healthy backlink giving you link juice. Considering the pagerank algorithm, the PR of the homepage is nowhere in the scenario. Only things that matter are the damping factor, PR OF THE PARTICULAR PAGE where your link is placed and the no of dofollow links on that page.
In general, I think this is a fair assessment. However, I think it's important to add that just becuase a page has a PR0 now, doesn't mean that it offers zero SEO benifit. Remember that, all webpages, even the ones that are currently PR10, started off at a PR0. If the page in question is only 1 or two clicks from a high quality PR8, and the page in question has unique quality content on it, it's probably only a matter of time before it will have PR on it as well.
yes it matters, a pr8 site is an authority website, even if the page where u get the links is new or not showing a great pr, there is a HUGE difference between getting a Link from a new pr0 story page from CNN and a pr0 page on www.my-nice-neighbor-website.com
After read the comment here, i aware that we all only guess how the google work. We do not know how exactly google work on it. Btw, in my logic, it is always good to have link from high pr regardless the place of the link.
The homepages with the high PR should pass along some of it's PR to the inner links with PR0 through time.. So getting a link from a page that is linked to the high PR homepage should get some benefit over time..
I agree, its just a matter of time before the low PR page gets some credit.. But I think it would also benefit from traffic gains Would this be a correct statement
