How does google handle # links?

How does it handle named references?

[Clark]

Is

[domain.com...]

considered the same as

[domain.com...]

or can both of those urls have a different PR?

[lasko]

Good question!

I would not worry to much about the Pr but Google will just read like a normal anchor text link like #top

But I don't think their is much to gain from using them!

My guess (and I emphasise guess) is that Google just chops off the #toc.

My reasoning is that Google counts votes for a page, not for sections within that page.

Goo toolbar shows PR7 for:
[webmasterworld.com...]
and PR7 for:
[webmasterworld.com...]

Request:
link:http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/index.htm
returns 3,070 backlinks.
Request:
link:http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/index.htm#abracadabra
returns 3,070 backlinks.

So, both of the URLs are identical @Goo.
