Some PR help

Pimpen 2010 · 11-23-2003, 05:40 PM

Since most of my pages have PR5's on my site and they all link to one another, that'll help in the overall PR right?

Actually, the linkages won't "help in the overall PR" in the site. What will help is if you channel the PR to your important pages, as Leigh said. Linking all-to-all causes every page to have the same PR, although that is modified by where the site's IBLs come in to. Read the PageRank Explained article (see my signature) to understand how internal linkages affect each page's PR.

What is "funelling the PR"? How do you do this, what's the strategy?

It's arranging a site's internal linkages so that some pages end up with more PageRank than others. Read my article, Joanie.

I will but it's so long I'm going to print it out tomorrow morning at work and read it during my lunch break.

I'll get back to you then

Well with my asking I thought you'd have a short answer with some explanations that will make me want to read your article in full.

Thanks Phil, I'll read that in a bit!

That *is* the short answer Joanie

It works because a link from one page to another bestows a PageRank value on the receiving page. If some of a site's pages are linked to more than the other pages, then the ones with the most links coming in will have the most PageRank - unless they link out more than the other pages.

You see? There isn't really a satisfactory summary. It's best to read the article and play with the PageRank calculator to see how different linkages affect the PageRank distribution within the site.

OK, I'll read the 13 pages I just printed out, but I don't know if lunch break is going to be enough time for that

I need to remake Graffiti online's website (French magazine) all over so I really need to understand everything I read to make something good with SEO, of which I know about for only a month and haven't been able to try what I've learned yet.

hehe...sorry about the length of it. It needed to be detailed, but a number of people have indicated that a shorter version would be useful. Maybe I'll do one sometime.

That's OK, I don't mind reading when it's interesting. And I admit that, so far, every article I've read on your website is interesting. I don't look anywhere else than here (IMR) to find what I need to know about SEO.

Flattery will get you anything, Joanie

When's your birthday???

fairyjo · 11-25-2003, 04:02 AM

You'll have to wait for a bit less than a year, it's on Sept. 28th

You'll forget what you said before it comes

What did I say? I'm far too old to remember what I said more than 5 minutes or so

fairyjo · 11-25-2003, 05:19 AM

I meant "what you meant" not said actually.

When you say flattery will get me anything and then ask for my birthday, I thought you wanted to buy me a present :wink:
