PageRank 'distribution' between pages?

[eyes2005]

This is about getting good 'link juice' (page rank) to your website from links...and link juice distribution between pages.

1) What is the best way to utilize the incoming link juice to your homepage, so it is distributed evenly to your other page of your site?

2) What kinda things can you do in your website layout 'prevent' you wasting the incoming link juice? (layout methods etc)?

3) How many pages 'maximum' would you say would be enough for 1 site if you want good link juice distribution to the pages in your site, so that you have a good/even distribution of link juice flowing to each page- so each page has a change of ranking high in the SEs?


For example
if we compare a 5 page website to a 40 page one-
on the 5 page site, each of the 5 pages will get MORE link juice compared to each of the pages on the 40 page one, as this has more pages to distribute the link juice to, so dividing link juce/40 means each page gets less link juice compared to if we just give it to a 5 page site- each page getting less?

so how many pages would you include on a site maximum, for a good amount of link juice for each page, so each page has a change of ranking high in the SEs..
(i know this would be different per niche, but approximately- as a rule of thumb how many pages?)

4) What are common mistake ways people do to make the use of link juice/page rank inefficiently?

Please answer questions 1) - 4)

Thanks, and that question would be fit a SEO Link expert who has had experience in the field, but would be great to hear all of your views

1) It only spreads so far. Generally speaking, if you have a pr of 5 on your homepage, and you link to pages a b c d e from your homepage, they will all get a pagerank of 4. Pages that a b c d e link to will get a page rank of 3 upto a certain point. Too many links and the pagerank will go down.

2) Don't use tables. Use CSS and XHTML.

3) Refer to point 1. The more pages you have, the more the pagerank will spread. Exceptions: If you get lots of inbound links to www.yoursite.com/a then you may find that page a will have the same or a higher pagerank than your homepage.

4) Attempt to link to every page from your homepage. Too many links. Structure your page nicely, nice navigation on your homepage and nice secondary navigation on each of your other pages. Don't have paragraphs full of links or footers full of links (5 or 6 footer links are ok, aslong as most of them are internal links).
