Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the Reply.

I have heard about the penguin 2.1 update, but have not heard that anyone who previously was hurt by penguin 2.0 staging a recovery on this update. If the update was a true recalculation, then I believe that there would be stories come out about recoveries....

I do understand what you  have said about the dropping links problem, but do not believe that is what is happening with me.

I have been hit by the penguin 2.0 update some five months back. I believe that I have an algorythmic penalty applied to my sites. While the work to cleanup etc has been done, there is certainly no recovery. I also notice a lack of recovery stories.  In fact I think anyone affected cannot recover because a recalculation has not happened?

Does anyone think that a recalculation of the penguin 2.0 penalties has happened? If so why do they think that.

Maybe I dont understand what you are saying, but the pagerank calculator really supports my question. It is treating every OBL on the page equally as it tries to work out where the rank (or whatever) flows to within the linked structure.

Yet, greater than 98 out of 100 SEOs will gladly state that a link from within the content of a page is more valuable than a footer, header, menu etc... types of links. It still makes me think that there might be say X value to be obtained from links off a page, but the current links may only be extracting 75% of X. Hence value from links of a page may be being lost.

Hi Guys,

Here is a thought. Google gives more weight to links in content, less to navigation etc.. Therefore if they say give 50% of a pages rank to a link within content and 50% to the the other elements. What happens to the total pagerank from a page if you have not utilized in page content links? (is it lost)

If this is the case, and you have a site that does not use content links on every page, are you loosing value (and hard earned) pagerank.  Google did mention sometime back about pagerank being exstinguished  with the nofollow tag.

I would be interested to hear what others think?

Cheers

Well, I have to say that I am surprised by that video, although not quite what I was thinking. I was probably more thinking of changing internal structure to push the more important parts of the site along better.

The Negative : the splitting up of link juice across many pages. Has anyone ever experienced this where it can be consolidated back into the important pages?

Hi,

How does the number of pages indexed from a single website affect that websites ability to compete in the SERPS?

Cheers

Thanks article is good read.

I have just recently spoken to an SEO consultant who is pushing the opinion that more internal

links would be better for me. They are particularly focused oin aligning a large number of

content articles that I have developed over the years, and getting more keyword focus,

and more links (inpage within site) onto these pages.  I have to agree on a certain level

that maybe this large base of unique content is unedr utilised. What is the general opinon,

more internal links are better?
