Hi I have scraped some blog URL's whereby the initial page listing all the various "threads" per se' has a high Page Rank. However, as soon as I click on one of the links to read the comments and leave a comment myself, that page has no PR whatsoever. If I leave a backlink on that page, will the high domain PR apply in my backlink, or will it be the zero PR of the actual URL I am leaving my backlink on? Thanks in advance.
There are very few websites and blogs that are having Page Rank on the inner URLs, if you are posting on the inner URL then you will be getting weight-age of that inner URl Page Rank. It is much more difficult to get back link out of this pages.
Thanks Gadgetfreak. This obviously makes the issue of obtaining high PR blog backlinks much more difficult.
Both ranks are important but if you see high home-page page rank it is worth to leave a link there even if the actual comments page is PR 0.
Well, if the page rank of home page is higher and the pr of sub pages is na then it is better than no pr of any home page.....
The page which you are speaking of, if has no pr then the same is your actual answer. But don't worry. Your link is valuable, not the PR.
This is the same thing with article marketing, social bookmarking, leaving links on YouTube and Facebook, etc. They are all PR 0 links. You are not getting a high PR backlink from this. However, some believe that the domain pagerank bleeds out to all the inner pages of the site. So a blog comment on a PR 0 page with a domain ranking of 5, is better than a blog comment on a PR 0 page with a domain ranking of 2.
I wish Google would help people out with these type of questions! I've noticed myself that the "inner pages" drop in rank on some blogs but, as SEOPub says, hopefully the domain bleeds out to the other pages otherwise we're all wasting hours and hours of work to get a backlink which may or not be even indexed by Google. Gggrrrhhhh!
