Does anyone know if inbound links to lower pages in a website - and the
resulting PR - will automatically help out the PR of the site's home
page.
Hypothetical illustration (with apologies to non-American readers):
suppose I run a site about baseball stadiums. There's a homepage with
general ballpark information, and then separates pages for each of the
individual ballpark (i.e. a Wrigley Field page, a Fenway Park page, a
Yankee Stadium page, etc.). There would be a bunch of inbound links to
the Wrigley field page from Chicago themed websites, inbound links to
the Fenway page from Boston-based websites, and inbound links to the
Yankee Stadium page from New York sites.
So there are very few inbound links to the home page; while the
sub-pages (i.e .the individual ballpark pages) would have many inbound
links. Will Google give some PR to the root-level home page, based on
the lower level pages having decent PR? Even though the home page has
few or no inbound links of its own?
Of course, each of the lower level pages will have a "Home" link
pointing to the home page - I assume this would help send PR up to the
home page.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and insights.
