Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Within my website we maintain a nationwide directory of auto repair shops.  When we add or significantly update / modify a particular listing, would it help improve the individual search engine rankings, Google PageRank, and / or Page Authority of the new auto shop page if we linked these pages to an area on the home page for "Our Newest Featured Shops" or "Latest Member Additions" or something of the nature? Each new shop profile would then be linked directly from the homepage for a period of time.  I assume that it might be crawled and added to the indexes quicker, but would there be other benefits?  If so, would those benefits only be temporary if eventually the new shop no longer linked to the homepage?  Would keeping all featured shops in rotational display on the homepage make any difference? Any input is appreciated.  Thanks. Kelly Vaught
