PR4 Home page and PR2 on all other pages

Higher PR on Home Page problem

I have a PR4 home page and PR2 on all other pages. I am not sure how this works. There are no pages with PR3. I currently have inbound links from other sites to the home page. How can I increase the PR of the inner pages? Deep links?

Your home page has links from other places, giving it PR4 (usually also some feedback from the internals but this is small).

Your internal pages, without links from outside, get their PR from your home page. If your home page is a low PR4, and you have a lot of links, then it's very possible to have PR2 internals.

If you get more PR to your home page, then it will flow down to your internals. Deep links could also give PR to your internals. For most sites, deep links are better as then help those pages rankings more. After all, rankings are usually more important than PR.

If you have a few internal pages that you think you need to bump up the PR for, try linking to them from other internal pages.

It would probably benefit you to read a good "page rank" explaination, and possibly play around with a good javascript "page rank calculator". Searches will turn up some good links on those topics.

If your site is set up so that each page links to every other page, and there are similar #s of outbound links from each page, then you should find the page rank becomes more even.

(Though it is likely that your main page will be a little higher due to inbound links)

Jcoronella,

What is a good javascript "page rank calculator"? How does it work?

Netnerd,

The site has each page linking to every other page in the top navigation bar and footer. Strange thing is home page has a PR4, all other pages have PR2, and no pages with PR3.

benc007,

as already mentioned by ciml, you need deep links to different internal pages. Changing the structure of your site won't help because your structure is already flat.
