Effect of deeply embedded *.edu page/site on PR

    Hello,
    I'm wondering how much a link on a deeply embedded page on a dot edu domain will effect a site's PR. By deeply embedded, I mean something like...
    pages.blah.edu/people/username/page.htm

    I wouldn't care what it did to PR, I would be more excited about the improved rankings it should bring. It will only help PR if the pge is a high PR page (significantly higher than yours) but then PR doesnt serve a purpose anyway

    If the page where the link is has PR, it will pass some to you. (if the link is spiderable)

    Hmm.

    I have heard that links from dot gov and dot edu domains significantly boost your PR, because those are hard to obtain. Is this a myth?

    I have a link to my site from an Ivy League .edu page that is fairly deep. That inner page is a PR6. Nice. It's my best link.

    They might be seen as a more authoritative link, but in any case, the link'll help you :)

    Do you think that inner page deserves a PR of 6? I'm asking, because I'm wondering if .edu inner pages will be inflated by default if the homepage has a high PR.

    In this case, I do think it is a legitimate PR6 inner page. It is an extensively compiled and posted list of theological resources. I'm glad to have come across it, submitted to it, and been accepted.

    .edu sites are authoritive so i imagine it deserves the ranking it has, even if it is mainly filtered down from the home page. Sounds like you got yourself a good link there! How did u manage that?

    I was Googling for sites that might link to bona fide theological or bible study resources (trusting that mine would be considered such).

    I found a university student's site. He was compiling bible resources, perhaps for a project or thesis, I don't know. So I emailed him, and he was kind enough to add the link, a nice PR6.
