Calling Steve on the relationship between "secondary page" pagerank and "home page" pagerank.
Context
Should significant effort be devoted to pointing backlinks at secondary pages?
Comments
It is quite difficult to get backlinks from high pagerank pages. I've always felt that given this difficulty we should try to draw maximum benefit from the backlink by pointing it at the home page. However, given context note #2, I wonder whether a substantial portion of the authority Google assigns to the secondary page also gets substantially posted to the benefit of the homepage. This may be indirect in that the site's authority is partly based on how much authority all of the site's pages have in the google index.
What do you think?
Is there a more accurate word than "google index"?

- We have always tried to get our backlinks pointed to our homepage, partly because it's simpler.
- I have never noticed a secondary page on a site having a higher page rank than the home page pagerank.
