If you go to h**p://www.battlefront.com/index.htm and then go into a thread, you'll see that the thread addy is the same as the home page. There aren't any subfolders or pages listed after the main address. In addition to this, each page is PR5. So my questions are as follows: 1. Does each page really have a PR5 and does each page carry that Google Juice to every page linked from it? 2. How does a webmaster code something like this into their site where the site address is the same for each page?
<frameset rows="245,*" cols="*" framespacing="0" frameborder="0" border="0"> <frame name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize src="navframe.html" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="NO" > <frame name="mainFrame" src="news.html"> If you look at the threads itself the PR is zero, http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=70;t=000586
He is correct, however it's not impossible. Pagerank is a value that "each" web page will get, so every web page on a website has it's own Pagerank value. Actually not only could they all have the same Pagerank value some inner web pages can have a higher Pagerank value than the homepage itself. This is due to how the Pagerank system works based on backlinks, remember it's the quality of the backlink, not the quanitity.
That's weird...linking to the site from here does show that the threads are 0. And yet when I visit from a bookmark, it says they are all PR5. Maybe my Firefox extension is just acting screwy...
Thats what happens with frames, this is a method people use to manipluative a buyer in a website sale, since they'll think all the web pages are high Pagerank or alteast have a Pagerank when many most likely won't.
Precisely. It could also be done out of naitivity as well. Perhaps the site owner wants everyone to think that everything is being run off of one page (perhaps out of a lack of education on the subject) or just thinks it looks cool that way (it's not).
that was obviously a frame it like a one page site and all other pages appear in the bottom frame so even when you click another pages links you'll not move elsewhere but the page comes to that same page to appear in th bottom frame google treat all pages like a one page
Yes, frames are bad - for accessibility and SEO. What probably happened is that several other pages are linking to the frameset page, which is accumulating that PageRank score and not spreading it elsewhere (all for me, none for you).
its full of frames! PR is not effected by that, maybe there are lots of links pointing to every pages of that!
These days PR are not very important. But you could also use frame to attract others like framed website you have mentioned.
