You might done linkbuilding for that inner page. Because even a less number of quality links gives maximum linkjuice than higher number of links

In fact, it is not the case. there are only less then fifty external links with not high quality to that inner page while a few high quality links pointed to the homepage. I really don't know the reason.

PR was updated yesterday? *checks her site's PR*

OMG yes! One rank increase. Okay, so it's just PR 2 but it looks like I am doing something right to have an increase.

To OP: You might have some better SEO on that inner page? Or better quality links.

Thanks

Well, If Google thinks your backlinks are not worth PR 3 so it can demote your PR to 2.

Since PR is assigned to individual pages, quality of backlinks to individual pages matters the most.

If I were you, I would never bother about PR of my web pages.

Which is the reason its called PAGE RANK, not WEBSITE RANK.

Forget about it. Move on. Focus your energies towards something more important.

This has previously happened to a lot of websites and tens of reasons can be named in here which may apply to the case. Sometimes when you add quality contents to your website, they can get picked by other webmasters and bloggers who have found the pages informative and so, they would add some one-way links to the spots. You may be totally unaware of the links for some time and yet their impacts on rankings and PR boost of the pages would be very big.

It has also happened that even internal linking structures and navigation systems used by webmasters can affect the PageRank scores given to a certain page. Assume for example that from all your web pages, there is a one fixed link pointing at one of your pages, beside the main index spot, and after a while, since that specific web page might be recognized as a major section on your site, Google might award it with even bigger PR value than your homepage currently holds.

Thanks

It can happen. Even 2 of my sites has same condition from last PR update. It happened for me since I was building more links to inner page. I have few sites where domain PR is 0 but subpage is PR1. Those are not money sites though.

No need to worry if the inner pages have a higher PR as compared to the home page. This is also the case with one of my sites and I haven't done anything actually really. Just build links.

If you link back to your homepage you can flow some PR there if you want. No big deal, also saw that on some of my own sites.

There is nothing surprising, You might have done better backlinking for inner pages. Remember Pagerank solely depends upon internal and external link juice

This can happen solely on the way that PageRank is flowed through a website.

Maybe you have some internal pages that gained links naturally, and since they
are linked to other internal pages those pages thus received more "PageRank"
than your homepage.

Don't sweat it though, simply find your internal pages with higher PR and link
to your homepage from them. PageRank will naturally get boosted up soon on the
next update.

Remember, don't focus too hard on your pagerank, rather focus on your rankings.

Thanks

i think you have generated more back links for inner page in place of home page that's why your inner page rank high than your website home page.
