Do you think the highest PR is alway the homepage?

I everybody, I have a question, the highest PageRank of a website is always the homepage or it could be more deep page?

Sorry for my bad English

    I have seen one site that had a PR 6 homepage but a deep link actually had a PR of 8... all depends what sites are linking to a page.

    I have also found many PR 6 homepages that have plenty of PR6 inner pages as well.

    In nearly all cases, the homepage has the highest PR on the site. However, there are certainly cases where this is not true, and subpages have a higher PR than the homepage.

      If a subpage gets more SEO juice passing links than the homepage, then that subpage will have a higher PR. However, most of the time the homepage PR will be the highest since many linking structures are laid out in a way so that inner pages point back to the homepage, or a parent category which points to the homepage. That way when those subpages are being linked to, the PR transfers over to the homepage.

    Thanks for your answer. I have to check inner page with scrapebox to find the highest PR page to post comment.

    Search Engines love to rank the ome Page, but you will need to back it with other internal pages with the keyword you want to tank for

      Always the PR of the backlink itself is important, not the one of the root domain. If your competitor has a backlink from a subpage, that particular page is important, not the homepage.

    Most often the highest PR is the homepage of a site. But there are possibilities that the inner pages can have a higher PR than the homepage. It depends on the quality of the backlinks.

    This very subject proves why you don't have to have an EMD (exact match domain) name.

    I've tested this on one of my own sites about a year ago.

    Two reasons why the homepage ranks higher than any other page on most sites.

    1) Every internal page has a link in the header/sidebar/footer pointing back to the homepage.

    2) Most people create the majority of their external backlinks pointing at the hoemepage.

    Instead of the homepage create a new internal page that has the keyword in the URL (example: hxxp://domain.com/keyword-here/blah-blah-blah/), & the page title.

    Add the keyword anchor-text to the header/sidebar/footer, so it shows on every single page, & points back to the new keyword page (.../keyword-here/...).

    Build some new external links & point them at the new page only.

    Don't link back to the homepage with basic html, use javascript to help hide any internal links pointing to the homepage.

    That new page will overpower the homepage sooner or later in the SERPs.

      When would you want to use this? when the keyword is not in the domain? My authority sites usually have my primary keyword in the domain and my secondary keywords are all in the inner pages urls.

      The fact my site is an authority site alone usually gets my inner pages ranks top 10 for their long tail keyword in about a week with nearly zero backlinks.

      Guess I just don't understand why you would want an inner page to outrank your index page if your index page is ranking high?
