PageRank - Web Pages v Web Sites

Does the PageRank depend on the web site or web page?

Hey

I have a question but I think it will be better explained by outlining the following scenario:

As a way of increasing my ranking in Google and the number of visitors I receive to my website, I have agreed to reciprocate links with widget.com, who's home page has a PageRank of 7. As part of the deal, widget.com will place a link to my website (using my desired keywords, of course!) on their links page, which doesn't have any PageRank.

With this in mind, and when Google finally discovers that widget.com is linking to my website, will my website benefit from the PR7 of the widget.com homepage or from the PR0 of the widget.com links page?

Cheers

James

PageRank is per page, not per domain. If the links page has no PageRank, is it even in Google? If it is, then you'll get a little PageRank, if not you won't.

Either way, the PR7 home page is irrelevant.

Thanks for the answer.

My domain have a PR2 (www.xxx.xx) All pages seem to have PR0.
But when you enter a domainname in a browser, you normally would get ie. default.asp. The browser normally just show the domainname.

Then default.asp should have the PR2 and links from this page would cary the PR2 to the pages from these links or what?

Can a domainname really have a PR2?

Before agreeing to reciprocal links of this sort, you should check that the page is in the Google index. Next, (with javascript switched off) open the cached version of the page and inspect the source code. If the page is not indexed or it has a NOFOLLOW robots meta tag, you are wasting your time. If it is not cached, ask yourself why - and then check the source code of the page.

If you have read other discussions regarding the possible existence of site rank, you may have seen my name associated with the belief that it does exist. HOWEVER, I doubt very much that it could be of any use to you in this instance. If it exists, it won't work like that.

Kaled.

Concerning this topic I have a doubt,

My website's home page had a PR 2, then this time all my first level pages got PR2,, my third level pages are yet PR0. This time there was no increment on my homepage PR.

Can anyone tell me, whats the technique behind it. Should I keep to all my pages at level 1(which seems very impossible) to get a good PR for each page.

Just help me to clear my thoughts.

Thanks
