Page rank

Hello,
I am a new member so please have some patience… :wink:
My question which must be basic to most of you is:
Is there any difference between linking(from another site) an inside page or the main home page?
I.E. - Two cases:

  1. I link to “mysite.com” from another site.
  2. I link to “mysite.com/not_home_page.html” from another site.

Will Google give good points only to a specific page, or is it giving good points to the site as a whole no matter which page is linked?
Does it make any difference in Google’s calculation if I link to the site(its home page) or some page in it?

Thanks and I apologize if my question is “too novice”… :blush:

I think I understand webspider20’s statement.

The page that is linked to will receive the PR, but since most pages have an internal link back to the homepage, then the homepage will also receive a small share of the PR that was given to the linked-to page. So the homepage will indirectly get a PR increase.

If you mean literally Google will give PR juice to the whole site (domain) if you link an article from that domain then that’s not true.

PR are per page basis. But your domain usually gets the most PR because you leave that link to forums, blogs, etc. Try this. Get a new domain, then just link your articles or any pages BUT not the main domain. You main domain won’t get any PR (unless your articles later on get high PR and you link those articles to your home page domain)

do you have a relliable reference for this claim?"

There are two things you need to know.

Google will increase the page rank on your entire site if you link to individual pages or post and it will also increase just that page. All pages are linked in some way back to the homepage but make sure you are interlinking post and pages within each other.
