Link Exchange PR Question - dynamic site.

will this pass PR to my link partners or kill my own?

[blend27]

Good Day Everyone.

The question I have is we have a website

http//www.our-widgets.com/

which has a PR of 4 on the home page.

If I type in URL

http//www.our-widgets.com/?resourses it has a PR of 4 as well.

Now?resourses could be a variable that could control a Script to display a directory of links to other sites.
and?resourses=black-widgets could display links to sites that have black-widgets

I want to exchange links with 10 sites from each variable page to get links back.

Now in reality I am linking from the Home-Page Script, will I loose my PR?

Will this pass a PR to our Link Partners as from the PR4 PAGE?
Is there a benefit in it for them(which is my goal)

Thanks

There is a site with a PR5 (used to be an 8). It also has a directory:

http*//domain.com/?L=directory

this page has a PR5 and so do all of the nternal pages which look like:

http*//domain.com/?L=subcategory&cat=8

I can change the end of the URL ?L=directory to anything I like ?L=monkey-boy for example, the page will always have a PR5. The query part of the URL does not hold the PR it is the domain. I have been watching this for a while and have run a mini test of sorts on it and it does not pass PR as far as I can tell.

-know when you say "used to be an 8" and then went to 5 -

did it go to 5 after the directory was added?

No it was a PR8 from what I can tell through buying links etc... it was only a matter of time before it dropped in my opinion.

I run a massive high ranked directory and my opinion is.....

Don't do:
http//www.our-widgets.com/?resourses

Do this:
http//www.our-widgets.com/my-keywords-page.html

I used to do what you're proposing with ok SERPS and switched to make it look like static web pages and my SERPS went wild.

PR4, PR6, who cares, if you have relevant keywords even a P4 can have high ranking pages if the keyword isn't too noisy.

Another trick is to hit the often missed PLURALS, google ranks WIDGET and WIDGETS different so if you think WIDGET will be hard, get WIDGETS too or as an alternative. I always put "WIDGET, WIDGETS, etc" in my page titles and many times WIDGET gets no rank but WIDGETS is at the top. Out of the top 20 keyword searches that hit my site 9 of them are PLURALS.

If you get higher PR for the site, great, but you'll get it as being seen as an overall authoritative site, not just because everyone links to the home page.

Hope that helps.
