Internal Links?

CabinsofColorado · 02-11-2004, 07:04 PM

I am confused. I have been busy getting links to my site that are very similar in content. One of my competitors that has about 80 quallity links just shows up everywhere on Google. What I don't get is that most of those links are internal. That doesn't seem right when calculating page rank. What's up with this?

PR = Page Rank, not site rank. So if you have links on each of the pages they get counted also.

Uh.....what? I don't understand.

Hi there CabinsoftColorado, and welcome to the forums.

PageRank applies to individual pages. When people talk about "site PR" they are usually referring to the main index page for the domain.

HOWEVER please note that PR on the toolbar only updates about once a month, as does the backlinks that show with "link:URL". So whatever you are looking at could very well be out of date.
