I'd not worry about calculating PR leakage, gain/loss.

Its so insignificant as to not worry about.

If you have a site map that is important, plus offsite marketing

Thanks guys for clearing that one for me.

Think of passing PR from 'Page to Page' more than site to site. Each page will have a degree of PR assigned to it which is passsed

Now, site/pages A,B,C,D will each have their own PR and the amount of PR passed depends on the links (internal and outbound) on the page in question. It is unlikely thateach of the pages has the same PR thus passing could actually weaken a given page not strengthen.

Point being it may NOT equal out. I would not be so quick to listen to 'don't worry about it' as this can really add up over many pages f a larger site.....  a 10 page site? Probaby no biggie... 100 page site? Probably something to look at....

people are more likely to search for hotel than hotel page so allways follow in the same direction as the numbers do.

Apologies for throwing a question ontop of a question but it is relavent to the post.
Often when I search for competitors on Google and I do a link:www. site. com I'll notice that Google has indexed all the pages in his site linking to his home page i.e.

www. site. com
www. site. com/page1.html
www. site. com/page2.html

and he has no other inbound links to his website apart from all internal pages.

His site ranks extremely well for some keywords.
I on the other hand only have 2 of my internal pages showing up in the link:www. mysite. com with various other external sites.

I HOPE THIS IS MAKING SENSE.

How do I get more of my internal pages to show up as backlink and does this influence your Google rankings?

wizardman, do all of your questions pertain to a Blog?

Hi,

Interested to know if navigation bar linking considered internal back links... In that case, it would be better to optimize all nag. bar linking.

Why focus more on PR? You can focus on other factors like traffic and conversions...

Say, what is this PR you speak of? I was always under the impression understanding the PageRank algorithm was the core of ranking on search engines...or at least some type of nodal/random walk, type of algorithm.

So doesn't PR = traffic?

No,

High traffic, lots of links, useful website et al = higher page rank

Concentrating on the factors that lead your site to be more profitable will have the side effect of increasing your PR.

Think of a car, and and that the speed it goes and the build quality are analogous to PR

You could put a bigger engine in it, put your foot hard on the accelerator (gas pedal) or get your car made in europe, all these things lead to a faster better car.

Compare that to just pushing the car (maybe by hand) to get the speed up.

Going for a direct, brute-force and unintelligent method will cause some gain, but not as much as taking a more refined, logical and behind-the-scenes approach.
