Generally, parameterized URL's are discouraged from SEO perspective... e.g. www.example.com/property/residential/NYC is preferred to www.example.com/property?category=residential&city=NYC. But how does Google assign the pagerank? I saw that all my pages from web analytics had a pagerank of 10, even though they have parameterized URL's, like... https://www.google.com/analytics/reporting/content?id=5619517&pdr=20080422-20080522&cmp=average So, does this mean that Google doesn't consider the parameters while creating the pagerank? If it is so, doesn't it make sense to create one page and use parameters, so that I'll need to earn pagerank only for that page instead of all the hierarchicla URL's created by rewriting?
I used google analytics site just as an example of a site that gets PR of 10 on every page... any way, regardless of analytics, what should we prefer? parameters or hierarchical rewritten url? Is earning pagerank simpler in a hierarchical URL?
Pagerank is based only by backlinks! Content, URL structure, etc have nothing to do with the value of Pagerank. Also, dynamic or static URLs can rank equally in search results.
The point is that...if you create hierarchical URL separated by slashes, you create many more pages... But if you create the same pages with parameters, you create fewer pages... So it's easy to get good pagerank for them... Is this argument right?
