PageRank Internal links vs external

I have a site with a good link profile. Was PR4. Legit site, no SEO done to it, whitehat etc. etc.

I no longer off the product on that website, but it is my business' site. I have another site I'd link to pass this juice to. So let's call the previous site a PBN site, and the new one the money site.

If I put a link from the PBN site to my money site, I want to pass the maximum possible link juice. However, my previous site was a blog, and there are 10 blog posts on the home page, with links to the blog post, the author, etc. etc.

Are these links taking away juice from the link to my money site? Should I minimize these internal links somehow?

    Yes. The OUTBOUND links on your site do decrease the link juice ...so what I would do is...send 1 or 2 links to your money site and a few more to Wikipedia, or other high PR authority blogs in your niche also.... (This makes your site look more legit, since you're linking out to reliable sites)

    Not outbound links. But internal links. Do those take away from the pagerank passed to outbound links.

      All links that appear on a page, whether internal or external, make each link weaker.

        Ok that's what I was looking for. Will Google frown upon me shaving almost all links on the page? Remember this is a legit site, owned by me since 2009. And I'm not trying to rank anything on this site at all. I could care less if visitors dwindle down to 0 since I'm not offering the product anymore (and the domain name is such I can't repurpose it for what I do). I just want to pass juice as efficiently as possible.

          Technically, a 301 redirect would pass it more efficiently.

          As for Google frowning on you getting rid of links, nope. Not an issue. I have many sites where outside of the navigation menu, you would have a tough time finding many other links.

            Hmmmm. Never thought of a 301 redirect.

            In this case I'm passing it to two related sites (all same owner, nothing hidden) but I'll rethink that. Thanks!
