Displaying 10 blog-posts from website homepage: Any loss in-terms of link juice?

[vtmoz]

Hi community,

We started showing 10 blog-posts from our blog on our website homepage. Will this hurts us anyway by taking away link juice?

Thanks

Doing this will make the 10 active (currently rendered in the homepage listings) blog posts have a better chance of ranking for long tail terms, but **yes some PageRank will be lost from your homepage **(or rather, redistributed)

If you have lots of SEO authority, you're doing the right thing! There's a reason that farmers use complex irrigation systems. Those same systems would also be poorly placed to water the daffodils hanging from your balcony.

Although the question which I answered just a few moments ago is slightly different to your own, you will find (if you read my full answer) that there are lots of relevant parallels to what you are asking:

More links, more expansive nav and increased granularity of URL architecture are all great things. The only problem is, like a complex irrigation system, they need a large water supply (or rather - a large pool of SEO authority to draw from). If you don't have lots of 'juice' to spread, you could bleed out instead

If you only have a bucket of water to begin with, then a simpler, more streamlined approach is usually better. You don't want the system to spray one tiny droplet of authority (which makes no difference) to thousands of pages.

For every tactic there is a proper time and place

I'm not trying to push you in either direction, just allow you to make a more informed decision for yourself
