PR transfer from different pages in the same domain

[Raymond]

I have PR7 link and a PR6 link, both from different pages in the same domain. Will Google see this as similar results and omit the PR from one of the link?

PageRank should flow from both, I don't know about the off-domain link text boost though.

What do you mean by off-domain text boost?

[ciml]

If PageA links to PageB, then PageB gets some PageRank benefit. Also, if the link on PageA says "green widget" then PageB gets an extra boost for searches including green or widget.

This boost is greater if the pages are on different domains, but I don't know if getting links from several different domains is better than getting links from the same domain.

Interesting point. Would two links from the same domain pointing to two different pages on your domain deliver more inbound "boost" than if they were directed to the same url?
