Clarification on PageRank

[Vito Botta]

Hi all,

I subscribed a couple days ago to Angela's backlinks, and I have just started to create links etc. I have only done the first link... but I have a little doubt about PageRank.

I installed a few SEO extensions for Firefox, and I noticed that if I visit the root of the first website in the link, I can see it has PR7.

However, when I visit the forum (where I am suggested to create a profile because of the do-follow links), instead, the extension shows PR0.

Is this possible? Can it be that the website has PR7 while the forum -under the same domain- has PR0? If this is possible, could it be because -perhaps- the forum has been filled with spam already due to the do-follow links?

Or, otherwise, is PageRank only associated with the domain, and therefore it applies to any content under that domain? In this case, I guess the issue could only be with the extension only showing PR when you visit the root of a website... although it looks weird if this is true.

Thanks a lot in advance for any clarification.
Cheers
Vito

Uhm... just tried google.com. The extension shows the PR for both the root of the site and sections under that domain...

Am really looking forward to some insight
