I started wondering today whether it makes a difference for search engines if programs would have affiliates link to
www.paysite.com/index.php?wid=1234 instead of something like
www.paysite.com/wm.php?wid=1234 or
www.paysite.com/wm/1234/
Google by my knowledge gives every page an individual pagerank and a general combined pagerank for the domain, so if
www.paysite.com/index.php has a high pagerank instead of wm.php, then maybe it is measured into google's global pagerank for the domain
www.paysite.com and results in better listings for the domain.
Am I onto something here?
