Domain vs. page SEO

[agentti]

Hi

I'm new to SEO and trying to optimize one of my pages. However this page that I'm trying to optimize is not the homepage. Does it mean that since I have collected links from other pages to my homepage that the specific page I'm trying to SEO doesn't get any "link juice"? And how could this situation be corrected? Is the only way to get direct links to the page I'm trying to optimize?

Thank you well. This was very informative.

Hi,

Yes link juice will pass from home page  to other pages through internal links. Chris explained very well by giving example.

Thanks

No, internal links pass 'link juice' so links from home page can pass links down, think of it like a chapaign fountain, the top glass (homepage) might be over flowing but its flowing down to the lower (pages) glasses so glasses at the bottom might not be getting as much perhaps as higher ones etc.  Take a look through the Moz's  https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo you can also see https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority for more info.

TL:DR;

Internal links pass link juice, you can also build links to internal pages (called deep linking) to also help.

Hope that helps & good luck.
