PR juice

hi guys,
i am a newbie to the world of SEO and i would really appreciate you help on a few questions:
A.

i understand that if i get a back link from a website i get some of it's PR juice, to my understanding most given websites transfer 85% of their juice divided by number of outgoing links on that page.
but if that is so how does a page keep it's high rank. i mean if it looses 85% of
it's juice to the websites it links to?

B.
internal links - do my internal links transfer the same amount of juice from the page as my outgoing links do? and does that juice come from my 85% of transferred juice (as a outgoing link) or does it use the 15% that is kept in my website?

C.
is the PR still used in my SERP ranking?

D.
as their such a thing as "bad" juice. if i get linked to from a low ranking page, does that harm in any way my ranking?

thank you
dor

    Dor,

    Nobody has access to the exact algorithm Google uses for ranking sites. PageRank may be a factor in that calculation, or it may not.

    (IGNORE - If a website uses "nofollow" attribute on its external links then it will not lose any "PR juice" as you call it. - IGNORE) Getting backlinks from low PR sites is not harmful. What is harmful is to get backlinks from so many unrelated sites and from sites that Google doesn't like that involve with adult/gambling etc.

    The internal linking structure of a website is also an important factor as the backlinks you are getting from external sites. Check all the authority sites that rank well on the first couple of spots and you will notice how well their pages are interlinked.

    You should focus on creating good content people would want to share and give links to naturally. I don't see future in off-page SEO as we describe it today. I am sure search engines are working hard to fight with self-created backlinks because if I was running Google or any other search engine, I would spend half of my income to identify and devalue artificially built backlinks.

    A search engine that ignores self-built backlinks will the best thing to have on the Internet.

    With respect, not true Nail, regarding If a website uses "nofollow" attribute on its external links then it will not lose any "PR juice" as you call it.

    The page giving the juice will still loose it, but it evaporates and is not passed on according to Matt Cutts.

      Thanks for pointing that out, I guess I've missed that. I confirmed your point on Matt Cutts blog now, but anyway my point was to make the distinction of nofollow links which most websites apply nowadays. So, it will not always work as Dor suggested in section A of his post.

      Also, my main point is that instead of doing backlink math, one should only concentrate on building good websites with good content.
