This may get long :Cry:
My first site was(is) http://www.4flush.com/poker. In the very beginning the /poker wasn’t there. I built it from scratch using Dreamweaver, learning as I went. Then I found out what a CMS was!
I didn’t know enough at the time that the CMS could be in root so I put it in a folder (/poker) and have been building and adding for years now.
I redirected the original index to point to the /poker index and never gave it another thought. Till now. My site is a PR3 (or 4, depending on what time a day lately) and the original index page is obviously nothing due to redirect but is still indexed in Google.
SOOOOO….would it be best to leave it the way it is or build a page for the original index page pointing to specific pages and sites I own? Like a table of contents (with graphics :woo-hoo: ).
Both
Yes, build an index page. However, leave the /poker so that all the indexed pages on the SE’s will still be able to get to your content.
yes make a page on your index
make a very big link on it to /pokerAh I can tell this forum has a ton of SE marketers
Let me ask you all: why would making another page be the answer?Depending on what type of redirect is being used, the SE won’t care if the index is there or not.
In fact, making an index as a table of contents for the website could be a huge waste if he’s making good coin on the poker page. I have solid stats on just how much traffic is lost by adding an extra click for a surfer to get to a page (upwards of 25% lost sometimes).
Of course this is assuming 4flush is making money on that poker page. If you think there’s more benefit by linking to the other sites and bumping their PR – then obviously go for it!
The real question you need to evaluate is what will make you the most revenue, getting all your pages linked and hopefully boosting PR, or continuing what you are doing with the poker page?
my 2cents
I am making money off the site.

That is my dilema. Most of my inner pages have PR from 1-3. So would having a PR0 page linking to this pages help or hurt? If I am only linking to myself basicly will that be a hinderence?
It is working the way it is….so the question would ultimately boil down to…could it be better?
