I have a site: domain.com
with an index.htm page that links to two pages on that site:
example.com/a.htm
example.com/b.htm
as well as to a third page:
example.com/c.htm
Now the index page has PR7 and under this arrangement a.htm, b.htm, and c.htm all have PR6.
However, I change c.htm so it also links to a.htm and b.htm and the next google PR update shows the following PR:
index page PR7
a.htm PR5
b.htm PR5
c.htm PR6
I am able to replicate this behavior from PR update to PR update if I remove and re-add the links on c.htm.
So it appears that PR is assigned using the longest path from the index page. Anyone else showing similar results?
