Is there a difference with page depth

    I hope this is the correct forum to be posting in. I would like to know if there is a difference in the way google ranks a page between:

    domain_name/house
    domain_name/wiki/house
    domain_name/wiki/residential/house

    Is Google more likely to give the first URL a better page rank if all other things were equal?

    I don't think "page depth" is a problem .
    Just remind yourself to keep your site search engine friendly .
    I have two tips for you .
    All inner pages links back to homepage .
    Keeping all inner page "three clicks away" from home page.
    Good luck .

    No problems so far with page depth as long as the inner pages are linked from the pages in root directory. Anyway justinlorder has given good suggestion about that.

    PR has nothing to do with page dept. its all about how you work hard on building link in all your inner pages..

    PR and SERPs aren't affected by page depth if there are some external links coming into your page. However, google won't index your entire site so the closer a page is to the home page (meaning number of clicks away) the more likely it will be indexed and therefore show up in the SERPs. Bottom line, focus on your link structure and don't worry about the directory structure.

    or simply use the sitemap.xml to decide the priority of the different pages on site
