is this part of the same thing im having with my site where by my index page is PR5, my sitemapis PR4, but the rest is PR0 white (through a frameset which did used to spread PR fine)
could this suggest a penalty - but if it was then how come, as its the main page that appears in the directory...?
i still cant establish if i have in fact been penalised...we chall see at this months update...
No doubt youve seen confusion on the boards about penalities ;)
The PR0 pages you have....if they are not well linked to from your higher PR pages then no doubt its not a penalty.
My understanding is that Google don't weight noframes as much as they used to. It does seem strange that your PR4 sitemap doesn't pass PR to the pages it links to.
Does a penalty apply globaly over a whole site?
It was in an update about two months ago, i got PR4 to PR5 (as well as yahoo and Dmoz listings) but my inner pages all lost it all...
Is this a ban or not? i am truly confused!
and yes the inner pages are liked normally for the index (splash) page to the homepage, so you'd think id have at least PR1 - the inner pages always used to have some...
I think that's the point. Google don't want us knowing all the factors.
After the next update settles, check the pages, make sure they're listed. Check the cache of the pages linking to them, make sure you see the links. If the link: search doesn't show the PR5 page, then check another site that you link to from that page. Are you sending them PR?
Search the WebmasterWorld PR0 threads thoroughly. You're going to have to look at every possibility. Usually, it's not a penalty.
Thanks
