Google Webmaster Remove URL Tool

[Mark_Ch]

Hi All,

To keep this example simple.
You have a home page. The home page links to 4 pages (P1, P2, P3, P4).

**   Home page**
P1   P2   P3   P4

You now use Google Webmaster removal tool to remove P4 webpage and cache instance. 24 hours later you check and see P4 has completely disappeared. You now remove the link from the home page pointing to P4.

My Question
Does Google now see only pages P1, P2 & P3 and therefore allocate link juice at a rate of 33.33% each.

Regards Mark

Hi,

It should do - the link is gone, the page is gone and deindexed. There should be no reason why the PageRank distribution changes to pass a higher percentage to the remaining links.

You should even be able to achieve this by simply removing the link to Page4 without removing the page from the server or using the URL removal tool.

How long this takes is not something I can say, but as soon as Google re-crawls the updated page, it should take note of the missing link and update how PR is passed from the page accordingly.
