I’ve just posted a new SEO article on how to increase your PageRank by creating more web pages. It covers a few dos and don’ts to help you maximize the benefit you get from adding new webpages to your site.

I understood that Pagerank from incoming links was distributed around a website, so having lots of pages may actually reduce Pagerank.
For example a website with 50 pages and a homepage at PR2 will distribute its ranking over the 50 pages (so each page gets around 2/50=0.04). A PR2 site with only 5 pages will disribute the Pagerank over 5 pages i.e. 2/5= 0.4 per page.
It is better to have a few quality pages than hundreds of pages with no useful information.

Matt,
PageRank flows only through links. If the homepage links to an internal page, the internal page will get more PageRank. Creating an internal page that isn’t linked to from the homepage won’t affect the amount of PageRank going from the homepage to the pages it links to at all.
Each page gets a little bit of PageRank “for free”, so creating pages creates PageRank. You focus the PageRank you create on pages you want to emphasize by linking to them from your other pages.
