    Hi Everyone,

    Bit of background info - I have a site that has been going for a few years and has a homepage PR of 5. We deal with widgets around the world and have number of sub pages linked from the home page using anchor text "location widgets". Linmks are standard href links - around 120 on the page in total.

    We're getting some really good rankings fior some really hard phrases - such as "widgets" in top 3 on G.co.uk. On a lot of the easier sub page phrases such as "location1 widgets" we're getting a PR 4 and good rankings, BUT a large number of my sub pages neing linked form the home page have a grey bar in the toolbar and are ranking really low. (I don't think this is determined by age either as some of my younger subpages are ok whereas some older ones aren't - it's a real mix. Also, no duplicate content issues etc))

    Was thinking about using nofollow on some of the minor location widgets sub pages to try and redistribute PR through to the more important sub pages - OK you think?

    Also looking at getting some high PR back links into these pages form other sources - will this help you think?

    Any other ideas / solutions form other SEOs who have experienced same problem??
