Hi All

I have an e-commerce web-site which generates dynamic pages. I have designed the site to be very modular and organised the code using a number of folders.

The problem I am facing now is that my home page is PR5 however all the content pages are PR2

I have used fictitious names to give you guys an idea about the folder structure.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Home/Code/FrontEnd/Content.asp
-----------------------------------------------------------

I have large number of clients using this site so I can’t re-arrange the folders at this stage.

Is there an easy way to reflect my Home Page’s PR on the content pages?

Thanks for all you help.

G,

PR is assigned to a page according to the number of links to it and the PR of the linking pages. The directory structure has no effect.

However if your content pages are new and not yet indexed (do a search for 'www.site.com/dir1/page.html' to see if that page is really indexed) then they are given a 'guessed' PR by the toolbar. This guess is based on directory structure so each level gets -1 PR. This guess will be replaced by the real PR after the update.

Home/Code/FrontEnd/Content.asp should get PR4 if it is one of a few linked pages on your home page

It doesn't seem to matter if the page is in a subdirectory or not. What counts is how deep the links are to the page. I try to keep all my pages to no more than 3 deep from my top PR page.
