Does the link that is placed on the footer,at the bottom of an website,will give less PR ? what do you think? thanks
I suggest you to look at this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0fgh5RIHdE where Matt Cutts talk about footer links.
do you mean that links in footers will lower the sites pagerank? or just give less PR for the linked site?
thanks. so,from what he is saying,i understood that the link in the footer does not give less PR to the linked website ,but has less relevance . anyway,i was interested in PR ,so it is good that does not affect it.
You need to understand what Matt like to say; only relevant links are valuable for Google (and for PR?) My blog has great results in google and went down from PR6 to PR3 more than a year ago. So PR says nothing... (maybe public relation )
yes,but my question was for PR .not for relevance .PR is still good,for link exchange for example .gives more trust .anyway,this is a different subject. thanks for the reply
Internal Footer links on a home page are brilliant, especially if your site does not contain a lot of text content.
- if you have a 10 links on a page then PR gets divided equally to all - the age of a link also matters so if you have added a link today to make it 11 then it will get same pr juice not equal authority. it will increase over the time. age of a link is also important.
let me tell you an example i have a link on a PR8 website .a link that is on the footer,the last line of the footer. will that link give me enough PR juice,so i can make PR6 ? or won't get me enough because is on the footer .the website has very few external links (less then 10 )
Good video. The most critical point of the entire discussion was his analysis on editorial links. Footer links are bound to manipulated or placed across an entire network which is something that most SEO-experts would tend to term as a wrong practise. Site-wide links are going out of trend and it is much better to acquire an in-content link.
