Quick quetsion about Pagerank

Hi

I'm a little confused about pagerank and all the pages of a site.

Is the pagerank of you index page or domain passed on to all the pages within the site? For example one of my sites domain or index page is PR2, does that mean that all the other pages are?

Thanks

Zander

 

Pagerank is indeed transferred to internal pages just as it gets transferred to outside pages - but not in the way you have put it, i.e. it is not duplicated automatically (say, if a homepage is a 2, the internal pages do not automatically become 2 as well). In other words, pagerank is a value assigned to pages, not whole sites or domains.

Pagerank is primarily built up of links - both internal and external

Hope this helps.

 

Yes it does. Thanks alot. I now know i've got to direct some external links to internal pages rather than just always to the domain.

Cheers

 

Don't bother with PR

Higher pr doesn't mean higher rankings ...

 

As w3bmaster said, PR is overrated... Focus on rankings and traffic... PR has very little to do with how you rank. It's a very minor factor these days in Google's ranking algorithm. But to answer you questions...

The PR of your index page is divided equally over all outbound links that appear on the index page (regardless of whether they are followed or nofollowed). In other words if your index page has 100 PR points (real PR not toolbar PR) and you have 20 outbound links... then 5 PR points are passed out on each of the outbound links to the target URL.

Now if your index page has 100 PR points and 20 outbound links of which 10 are followed and 10 are nofollowed, 5 PR points are passed out on each of the followed links... and the 5 points that would have been passed out on each of the other 10 nofollowed links simply vanish... go into a blackhole... are wasted.

This is a change to the way PR flow and nofollow worked in the past. It was recently announced on Matt Cutts blog on June 15th, 2009. Appearently the change was made at Google about a year ago... So it basically eliminated all reasons to use nofollow on internal links.

Absolutely not. PR, like SERP rankings, is calculated at the URL level based on the inbound links to that URL. Just think about my answer to the above question, but look at it from the perspective of the page being linked TO, not from.

If you don't understand how PR works I would suggest reading:

The announcement I referenced above from Matt Cutts - PR simplified old and new
The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine - blueprint for Google from their founders
Google's Page Rank Patent
Wikipedia's simplifcation of Page Rank (Basically an overview of the above docs)

 

No, your all pages PR is different...

 

PR on each page is different compared to index page. Commonly, we will all share or tell our main index PR. Main page does not pass any value to internal page for PR. I think Earnest have put it clear words there.

 

Domain PR is not always passed to all of its inner pages.

But, when the domain has a good age then the inner pages also get good PR by getting a backlink from home page (if the inner pages are linked from home page)

 

pr is passed around internal pages that are linked. If you have 3 links from the home page then pr will be transferred to each page equally.

 

page rank measurement It is relatively in your home webpage, it ranks of your webpages not in whole website.

 

well page ranks are the rank at which your website is at search engine ,

 

All pages that are indexed in Google HAVE some degree of PR, even if the little green bar says 0. But PR does NOT always relate to actual SERP. Therefore, PR is often over-emphasized and a topic of obsessive thinking.

We've all seen PR 0 sites positioned in the Top 10 for less competitive keywords and long tail phrases - and we've all seen PR 5 or better sites dropped like a hot rock.

Google is a fickle mama.

And PR is best regarded as a snapshot - not as a hard and fast measurement of Google love.

Wishing all the best

Page rank is applicable for a PAGE not to an entire site. If your home page has PR2, that does not mean your other pages(e.g: contact us page or about us page) too have PR2. However, you can link those inner pages from your home page, that will help to increase the PR of your inner pages....

 

Page rank is decide for each page.Every page of website has PR according to its backlink,content,relevancy,inbound & outbound links and so on.

 

it is a good idea to try and improve pages on your site that acheive a lower PR than others - sounds obvious but it will help the site overall
