Onpage linking

[PeterM22]

On my homepage, I currently link to about 40 internal pages. I'm considering altering the internal linking structure to have 50-100 links on the 2nd level pages. If I was to do this, I'd only need 8 homepage links.

Do you think the 8 pages linked from the homepage would go up in the SERPs as the pagerank would be less diluted?

I've heard so many mixed views on this. Be interested to see what people here think.

Thanks,

Pete

I don't know if I follow you right -- but simply put: if you remove 32 of the 40 outbound links currently on your homepage, the remaining 8 will each pass on more "link juice" to their destination pages.

Whether those destination pages as a result then go up in the SERPS would then obviously depend on a range of other factors (such as the innate strength of your homepage, your competitors, etc)

yeah, that was the question Thanks for your answer
