Does initial pagerank matter for new sites

[decstar]

My site has been up for about 6 weeks now and is in a fairly competitive area.
Google first spidered my index page about 3 weeks ago and hasn't looked at any of my other pages yet.
I have about 30 inbound links from sites with PR between 2 and 5.
I still only have a PR of zero. Should I be worried that this is as good as it is going to get? Should I be able to expect google to look at the other pages fairly soon.

Your PR will be calculated after the next deepcrawl and update. We are possibly 4-6 weeks from that happening according to googleguy (a google employee who posts here).

Be patient.

No. It will happen when it happens. You cannot *expect* anything from google.

But you have got the inbound links and that's the main thing. Concentrate on site content, getting into dmoz and other directories and then forget about it for a bit.

Does the amount of links have to go directly to a specific page to improve page rank? Is it better to link everything to the home page, or does google recognize that the site is the same if the link goes to a different place?

Suggest you read nsuk's post.

PR is given on a page by page basis, not site.
