Wayyy back when (in the days of yore) Mr Cutts spelled out in a video that page rank is distributed equally between the external links on the page. If there are two links on a page, each gets passed 50% of the available page rank etc. (Perhaps an oversimplification but bear with me).

As a result of this, the company I worked for at the time (this was the dark ages when sidebar homepage links were in vogue) decreed that we would only ever approach a site about a link for a client once, as additional links had little extra SEO Value.

Now you could argue that if there are 5 external links, each acquiring 20% of the power, and your site has 2 of those, you are getting 40% of the power, but lets forget the basic math for a minute.

I have scoured the web and Mr Cutts' videos and I cannot find the answer to my question:

If my site (Site A) has a backlink from SiteB Page 1, and a backlink from SiteB page 2 - does this count as two separate links in the eyes of Google? If the SAME site links out to my site, linking to different pages in different posts, does this give me more SEO benefit?

Thanks for your time!

interesting, thanks very much for your thoughts and time

We have 149 internal links, which could be said to be a lot, but compared to many sites this is not a huge amount more.

So if i put say 300-400 words of unique content on this page that woudl drop that % and threefore woudl solve the problem? what % should i aim for?

Many E commerce sites dont have that amount of unique content on each page?

HI

the domain is rockshore.uk.com

take a page

http://www.rockshore.uk.com/air-fresheners-201-c.asp

it is not coming up for the text ot the page, or the title tag.

This is the case for most internal pages.

i got told rockshore.uk.com is a subdomain of uk.com, and this might have something to do with the issues.

The site ranks well in Bing and Yahoo

hi

i have rockshore.uk.com which is not indexing properly.

the internal pages do not show up for the text they have on them, or the title tags.

the site is on aekmps shops platform.

I understand that a .uk.com is not a proper TLD but i think i have a subdomain of .uk.com

Can anyone help?

thanks

One client (Domain authority 47 ranks for 100s of tough brand related keywords) and had duplicate content on its internal brand pages (the same few 100 words of brand info on each brand page) and was hit badly.

We have other clients in this vertical (Mens designer clothing in UK) , some with duplication have increased in rankings, but they might have a slightly higher Domain Authority 50).

All the ranking drops happened on April 12^th, across all pages which had internal duplication (you can see traffic drops by dissecting brand pages in GA).

We have re written all content and placed it on all pages so there is no internal duplication. All the new content has been there for a month and each page has been cached. No change to our rankings.

Anyone know if the changes they have made have seen any improvements? Surely if this algorithmic then once the algorithm picks up the changes then it re-assesses you and will change your ranking? Surely you can’t now be a ‘marked’ domain???
