Does Google follow link path or url path when it comes to passing link juice

[cbielich]

I noticed something with one of my sites and now I am thinking I made a boo boo (I think) here is what I have

On my homepage I have 5 links

Link1
Link2
Link3
Link4
Link5

Links 1 - 4 go to a page and stops there. So my URL structure is

www.mydomain.com/Link1
www.mydomain.com/Link2
www.mydomain.com/Link3
www.mydomain.com/Link4

So naturally my link juice passes down to these links evenly. Link5 also goes to another page, but on that page I have more links that go down further.

www.mydomain.com/Link5 -> more links

On page Link5 I have links that go to more pages, BUT my URL structure for these pages go like this

Lets say on Link5 page I have another link that goes to AnotherLink1, AnotherLink2 and AnotherLink3

When you click on those links it takes you to those pages just fine, BUT my URL structure is like this

www.mydomain.com/AnotherLink1
www.mydomain.com/AnotherLink2
www.mydomain.com/AnotherLink3

Basically I put all the "AnotherLink1-3" in the root directory as well.

My question is concerning how Google passes the link Juice from my pages and if it is passing based on the path of the links and how they point to those pages, or do they pass link juice based on the URL structure.

So since "AnotherLink1-3" is located in the root directory am I dividing my link juice from my home page to all the links as well based on the URL structure. For instance

www.mydomain.com/Link1
www.mydomain.com/Link2
www.mydomain.com/Link3
www.mydomain.com/Link4
www.mydomain.com/Link5
www.mydomain.com/AnotherLink1
www.mydomain.com/AnotherLink2
www.mydomain.com/AnotherLink3

Do I need to change my path for Link5 page to

www.mydomain.com/Link5/AnotherLink1
www.mydomain.com/Link5/AnotherLink2
www.mydomain.com/Link5/AnotherLink3

?
