Internal link structure

number of links on a page

[Visit Thailand]

I did a search and read a lot of pages but did not find what I was really looking for.

Let's say as an example that one site is PR 8, but all the internal links are PR 4.

I am guessing that this is because on the home page there are close to 300 internal links and then on 30% of internal pages each of these pages have close to 200 internal links.

Now what I want to do is optimise the website so that the pages that generate money have a higher ranking.

I have read that most search engines do not like doorway pages so I am looking for advice on how best to proceed ?

Changing the site to a more traditional pyramid type stucture will help quite a bit. If you have 10 internal pages that generate income, then you want to reduce the number of links from the home page so that more of the available PR is focused on those 10 pages.

Thanks WebGuerilla, thing is that the pages that make money there are 200 or so of them and increasing all the time.

The site as a whole has close to 10,000 pages.

How many internal links on a page do you think detiorates pr etc ?

Just an idea but would it help if I put doorways (what I mean by this is a link to a page X that has all X related topics pages linked on that page) and then link every doorway page in the site from the home page and also internals ?

any ideas ?

Yes, this will push some PageRank in that direction.

Also, you may wish to group some of the less profitable pages and put them a level deeper in the site.
