How can a PR 8 site have NO PR on inner pages?
 

Been looking at a lot of directory sites that have high PR on their main page. And yet when you go to one of the sub/category page, they have NO PR. I'm not talking about 0 PR, I'm talking about none at all.

Could be new pages or it could have something to do with the link structure?

And they are hardlinked from the main page?

no follow ?

Example:
http://www.eaas.info/Health/ - NO PR
http://www.eaas.info/ - PR 6

Links are do follow. No robots.txt to prevent indexing and no metas to prevent indexing or following.

Pretty much every directory I've been looking at is the same way.

Anyone have any insight?

How old are these directories? A doman like eaas.info sounds like it was picked up as an expired.

Fake PR, Fake Directory, whatever you want to tag it.

That domain is not a pr6, all the pages added to it are so new there is no page rank assigned to them.

The real backlinks for that domain point to European Association for American Studies which are then 301'd to eaas.info .

Yep, most likely.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Yeah, I realized later that that was a bad example... Here's a couple others.

http://www.goguides.org/ - PR 6
http://www.goguides.org/topic/20.html - NO PR

http://www.pegasusdirectory.com/ - PR 5
http://www.pegasusdirectory.com/Games/ - NO PR

Of course different pages have different PR. Every page has a different PR.
index.html is a completely different page from 20.html.
It's the page that has the best back links that gets the highest PR.

expired domain somebody bought and he's selling links at the bottom...
money well invested...

I know this is how it is considering its pagerank & not siterank. But I do like the thread & the thought that some sites can be doing exceptionally well, yet due to pagerank, the page that could be a new links page cannot be accepted by some webmasters.

This one has quite a few decent pr internal pages, it's just such a large site we don't see it all. Most likely also, the pages are so dynamic and changing that what we see on the toolbar isn't current.

http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.goguides.org Clicking through the 1st 2-3 pages of results we see lots of pr attributed to the site. And on archive we can see this directory is old as fuck (almost 10 yrs, and a directory the whole time). Good directory i'd say.

On this one I'd say it's because the navigation sucks, and it sucks from the spiders eyes too, it's very difficult to find your way around his site from category to category, and the spider sees it the same, just a big pile of nothing.

If the pr isn't passed through the site and proper navigation between pages isn't there, there won't be any pr or weight passed on to most of them pages. If he was trying to control it and work it he could use what he has to his advantage, but its not what he is doing, he just has a shitty laid out site.

Exactly. THat's a very common trick. Pick up an expired domain with PR, build a directory, get tons of submissions, and BAM, pr drops hard.

Thanks for your insight. How is that the navigation of pegasusdirectory sucks compared to goguides? They appear to be pretty much the same sort of thing.
