On Page SEO Question

[watto]

At the bottom of my homepage before the footer I have a few links pointing to internal pages Businesses for Sale - Buy or Sell Australian Business for Sale . Should I remove these links to keep pr on my homepage?

Any other suggestions for my on page SEO would be appreciated.

Regards

I may be confused, but how does having links on your homepage take away PR?

I would hate to see a site with no links on the homepage.

any kind of internal links are bound to benefit your site- thats why wikipedia always ranks as high as it does, it also adds to the user experience which is always a positive

Internal linking is highly important. it allows the PR to flow through the site and it also creates topical relevance for each page. I get the impression that you are focusing on the home page for the wrong reasons. It shouldnt always be the home page that appears for a search but rather the most relevant page from your site (which should be the one which you have tailored to that particular phrase). One of the ways to attach a page to a keyword is to link to it (from within and from outside of your site) using that keyword.

Do you catch my drift?

You do not need to remove them. Stop being so fixed on that damn PR and concentrate on your visitors needs.

I think you should add few effective keywords in your title tag and h1 tags.

I agree with the above. In fact, some of the most successful sites can easily have 90% of its traffic to pages other than the homepage.
