      Question just about said it all: I've seen a number of pages on sites that have a PA of 1 (with the metrics being 0 links from 0 root domains) when I can see on the site that it is linked to internally - from the main nav (which is CSS, not Javascript) and also from the footer, if not other places.  Why would this be?

      Update: upon looking further at the site, it appears that there's some kind of redirect going on, where the page linked to from the nav actually redirects to the real page. Would that eliminate PA, even if it's a 301? And additionally, is whatever is causing this lack of PA a reflection of how Google would relate to the page?

      Thanks,

      Aviva

          That's a good idea.  It's strange, though, that it would have crawled almost all the other links on the site, but not this one, which is the one linked to most conspicuously from the home page.
