Hi

I'm still not sure I completely understand the way links transmit PR:

Let's say my website is selling chocolate ice cream and a website
called thebigicecreamspecialist.com (with a PageRank of 5) accepts to
link to my website:

Please Rank the following situations from 1 to 5, best to worse (if
two situations are similar please give them an equal rank):

a) I just have one link <a href="mywebsite">chocolate ice cream</a> on
the thebigicecreamspecialist.com/partners page

b) I have 2 links on the thebigicecreamspecialist.com/partners page:
<a href="mywebsite">chocolate</a> and <a href="mywebsite">ice cream</
a>.

c) The 2 links on the thebigicecreamspecialist.com/partners page go to
two different pages: <a href="mywebsite/chocolatepage">chocolate</a>
and <a href="mywebsite/icecreampage">ice cream</a>

d) My website is being linked from two pages on
thebigicecreamspecialist.com for example the link <a href="mywebsite/
chocolatepage">chocolate</a> on thebigicecreamspecialist.com/
cocolatepartners page and the link <a href="mywebsite/
icecreampage">ice cream</a> on thebigicecreamspecialist.com/
icecreampartners page.

e) My website is being linked from one page on
thebigicecreamspecialist.com for example the link <a href="mywebsite/
chocolatepage">chocolate</a> on thebigicecreamspecialist.com/
cocolatepartners page and from one page on another website called the
theothericecreamspecialist.com: link <a href="mywebsite/
icecreampage">ice cream</a> on theothericecreamspecialist.com/
icecreampartners page.

Thanks for any

Regards

Hi

I'm a bit surprised this question hasn't received any response.

It's totally SEO related and a bit different from the usual:
"Look at my website here: http://...
How comes I'm not getting any satisfaction with Google?"

Isn't my example clear? Don't you like chocolate ice cream?
You can replace "chocolate" with "diamond" and "ice cream" with
"jewellery", I won't mind.

Anyway I'll try to answer some of this myself:

I suppose situations a) and b) are equal. Just because one creates 2
links instead of 1 link on the same page shouldn't transmit more PR.
4: a) and b)

For c) I am not sure. Is it equal to a) and b)? In all fairness it
should be but then Google doesn't really know who the "mywebsite/
chocolatepage" and "mywebsite/icecreampage" belong to. They might be
two different websites simply hosted on the same domain. So I'd say
Google treats this situation slightly better as a) or b).
3: c)

Then I'm not sure which is better of situation d) or situation e). Is
it better to be linked from two different domains than from two pages
on the same domain?
I suppose e) is better than d)?
2: d)
1: e)

This is only supposition and could be completely wrong. If so please
correct me.
