      Hi Guys,

      Some advice and help here would be great please!

      I have a web agency that has been building some links for our website, the web agency have built some links that have a page rank of 7 on the domain itself, but the our link is on the inner pages of that domain..

      So I guess what I am asking is does is matter or can it still help if our links are on the inner pages of the hight pr domain and not on the homepage??

      Thanks

      Gareth

        It definitely matters. An inner page will likely have less PR then the home page and therefore be of less value.

        Be VERY careful in allowing a "web agency" to build links on your behalf. Many sites have been penalized for manipulative links in the first two iterations of Penguin. I suspect many more sites will be penalized in the future. I would recommend you to stop "building" links and start earning them.

            There is too much to detail out in a Q&A response, even for me  (poking fun at my lengthy responses).

            I plan for that to be a blog article I will publish in July.
