Question about Pagerank....
 

Ok this may sound dumb... but quick question....

If whatever.com has pagerank of 4 and links to me.com that is good.

But what if whatever.com/sports/index.html has no pagerank and links to me. Is this still good? Do I still get advatage of that pr4 linking to me? Or does that link have to be on the main root of the domain?

The way it always used to work is each directory level you go, the PR decreases by 1, provided the directory / second tier has existed for quite a while - so once whatever.com/sports/index.html has actually been updated in the google serps, it should be a PR3. If it has a PR0, it implies to me that it must be a fairly new page.

The best link is always root level.
