SEO question. Does the fact that a home page of a site has a high PR carry over to the other pages.?

Question

Meaning, let's say I have a home page that is a PR5. Does that fact help my inner pages at all. Or, are the inner pages PR calculation, independent of the home page.

In the example above, could I expect the inner pages to get even a PR1 due to the home page, provided that they are somewhat related to the home page? And that the home page links to them.

Assume also that on their own, the inner pages would be PR0.

So, would being linked to the home page (with a PR5) get them higher then PR0?

Answer 1

it's pretty much imperitive that you link all the pages in your site back to your homepage and it's easily done using a sitemap.

You are correct in that pages are ranked independently and that differing pageranks within your site won't have any significant impact on the site as a whole.

You're probably not going to see any benefits in terms of page rank by just linking PR0 pages to your single PR5 page, and any changes you do make will likely take several months to propagate through the Google PR process. It's only updated a few times a year.

Don't worry too much about page rank. Build your site, make it SE friendly and continue to add as many inbound links as possible, all the better if they're from related sites. That's going to increase your pagerank most quickly.

Since you've likely focused on submitting your homepage to the search engines and web directories, that's the one with PR5. Work on submitting other pages with great content and their PR will rise as well.

You'd do well to participate in a few SEO discussion groups and forums.

Answer 2

yes: linking the home page to the inner pages increases the inner pages' page rank. Also, linking the inner pages to each other increases their page rank.
