Lets say your working to rank a particular page on your website which isn't text/content rich...

If you put on your website (hidden from public view but still indexed) a large number of relevant unique articles which link at the page your trying to rank (using anchor text wisely,etc) does this help rank that page without much content, or in your experience is google only really evaluating your site on a page by page basis depending on what kind of content that particular page has?

    damn good question, in my experience the anchor text links from the other pages on your site and your off site anchor text links pointing to your money page (or what ever) should do just fine. case in point are "web stores". most of these are image based but yet can be highly ranked.

    good luck

    thanks for your feedback

    If we look at ranking a page for a keyword based on two factors...

    1. backlinks to that page (and the overall site for that matter)

    2. the text/content on that page.

    Obviously if the page isn't text/content filled its lacking in that area. However its easy to basically hide from everyones view lots of rich content on other pages which link to that page....in particular related content. Keyword related. I'm not sure if it works that way though. Glad you think so. Anyone else have anything they can add?
