Menu Structure Help Needed!

[sharplab]

We have some very successfull sites. Here is my brief question. On our huge site we have a menu page that people enter from the index page. We noticed that lots of our pages were not being indexed so we place a footer on the index page with links and desciptions to all our site pages. These links are the same as the ones on the menu page which is the first page people enter to. Will this cause PR or ranking problems with Google ot Yahoo?

Sincerely,

Steve, THANKS AGAIN ALL!

No, I do that on quite a few of my sites ones just moved to a PR6 on every page :)

- Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number (fewer than 100)
- Inserting additional links to the index page will change the distribution of PR, while the total amount on your site is unchanged (for details look at this thread [webmasterworld.com])

i've found that PR distribution is a fine art... All of my toplevel pages (which are linked from every other page on the site) have PR4 atm, but I go one level deeper (pages that are only linked by one of the top level pages) and those pages have a PR1 to PR2, and there's no easy way to distribute it back. Unless that is in the next crawl I more pagerank is inherited from the main pages.
