How much PR is passed when no-indexing a page
 

Hi guys. I was wondering if you noindex/follow a page, does the links on the noindex/follow page receive the noindex/follow page's full PR? What I mean is, if you have a link from your homepage to page 1 and from page 1 you have a link to page 2 and you noindex/follow page 1, does page 2 get the full value of page 1 PR or does it still lose some of its value?

Example:

Home (PR value 10)
|
|
Page 1 (noindex/follow should get PR value 5, but is noindex/follow so it passes the value 5 to page 2?)
|
|
Page 2 (now does page 2 get all of page 1 PR or just part of it like it would have if page one was still index/follow?)

Please note that the above PR values does not reflect real PR values
You are sort of right... The orginating page's PageRank is 100% of whatever it is... It will pass 85% of that across all links. Then the page you noindex will gain whatever it would have gotten e.g. 85% whatever was passed but proportionally less by the number of links. About 9 links drops PageRank down a level, 81 links will drop it 2 levels (approximately).

Then that will pass 85% of its value to the next page but that is also divided by the number of links.

Your original premise was based on 1 link only per page and that would be 85% of 85%.
