Does something like http://www.digitalpoint.com/friends.php count as one backlink? Basically I am asking if you have a sitewide link on a site does each sub page count as 1 backlink, or is it just 1 per domain? I know subdomains aka http://poop.digitalpoint.com would count as a different backlink then http://www.digitalpoint.com/friends.php. Can someone chime in and solve the confusion for me?
Every page counts as one backlink. You can check out Yahoo site explorer to see the number of backlnks
According to a SEO guy i was talking to, you can have multiple backlinks from a domain, but only the highest PR will count for Google PR purposes. subdomains will count as a separate domain. and same rules apply.
What abut inside pages? I mean inside page of sub domain? Will google and others (msn, yahoo) count every page for separate backlink?
First time I hear this on writing, I already thought of this and it makes sense, loot of people buying sitewide links for PR increase, it this theory is correct it’s worthless. And what happens when you have 2 or more links on the same domain but to different pages on the other domain.
i dunno how valid the SEO guy's thing is, and i have no way of checking it. i'm more a content creator than an algorthmn guy anyway, but it makes sense to me. you all do know that PR is tagged to specific pages, right? so it would seem to make more sense to have backlinks to your mother domain and the sub-domain. that way if you point at a 3rd site, you'd get the benefits of 2 backlinks from 2 diff sites (assuming the sub domain was a 'seen' by google as a new site), wouldn't you?
