    Where should I link it?

    Hi all

    Just a quick question :P

    Lets say I have a shopping mall website, and I have a category section "weight loss"

    I have a merchant (weight loss area) that will allow me to make a link from his site to mine,

    The question is, should I link his high PR ranking page to my homepage OR my websites "weight loss" section ??

    Does it make a difference?

    Thanks

    Your weightloss section using the words "weight loss" or "weightloss" in the anchor text. Use wordtracker.com to figure out which phrase is more popular.

    Because you want your weight loss section to rank high for "Weight loss" and not your home page, correct?

    yeah I see what you mean,

    If I linked it to the hompage I wont be getting as much of his PR? Where as if I link to my Weight loss setion I get more Pr cause of the relevence? and then can pass that to the homepage?

    or am I just talking rubbish? sorry hehe

    Thanks

    You get the same amout of PR either way. PR exists independent of relevance.

    But because of the relevance it would help your weigh loss page's rank more. than your home page's.
