Links to Homepage Help Internal Pages?

    I've always assumed that if you have lots of quality links pointing to your homepage, that will also help your internal pages in the SERPS. But maybe I assume too much.

    Is it certain that a quality link pointing to www.example.com will also indirectly help www.example.com/page in the SERPS?

    Thanks.

    It will help as long as you have a link on main page to the sub page as a full web address.

    The good linking structure of the site will enter regarding this and will surely help pass PR juice, crawl and index the entire site. But it is still better if you want to rank well internal sites, give them their own backlinks from external sites.

    As backlinks helps to improve a site ranking, the internal pages also get affected as they are part of the site. So backlinks to homepage help internal pages too. You can also build backlinks for internal pages. They will help more.

    No, what you heard is unfortunately not true. But, backlinks to your internal pages will help the ranking of those internal pages. :)

    And even more. If you have only links to your homepage Google may think this to me strange, unnatural. It may mean that your inner pages are useless.

    It is pretty helpful. Especially if your other pages have a good PR.
