Hi, I run a news website, that is picked up via google news. I have a few questions, I see alot of other sites linking to my daily news stories will this benefit the site, because the link is not direct to the homepage it's only a link to the new news page. Also i see people linking my webiste but not with the full url : EG http://mysite.net ... so no www., So will these still count as links from google and there ranking system and help with google juice, or do i need direct anchor links to my hompage, for better juice on my website. Because my hompage is the only one that ranks in google search, will these links help it rise?
If you link all your other pages to the home page, some of the link juice that comes into these other pages will be transferred to the home page.
