SEO Tycoon

I'd like to put a drop down menu on my home page that links to 30+ other sites (using as a quick jump to some band pages on myspace). Does anyone know if I'd lose PR by doing that or is it no different than if I were to have 30+ regular text links on that same page.

Thanks

PR isn't based off of the links on your page; it's based off the links coming into your page.

It will have no effect on the SEs seeing the link to the other sites, so they will not gain PR from this method: Drop downs don't look like links so how will the SE know that it is a link? What the link is? Where to go?

Jeremy is right, your PR should not change for this

Drop down menu will not create a problem at all.

Drop down links will not be accessible by crawlers, so no issues, u can proceed.

I don't think you will have a problem at all. Just focus on link building and PR will increase.

Yes it will not affect your Page Rank.

Firstly it depends what type of drop down menu your using.

Secondly does it really matter if your PR is affected? Your search results won't change.

Drop down menus are only really advisable for specific action commands. I wouldn't use them for linking to external sites, although it's unlikely your PR will be affected either way.

I think its possible it could have some negligible effect, but if you do it in JavaScript, the search engines can't see it anyway. If you do it in CSS they can.

Maybe. But what in the world does PR have to do with SEO?

From a purely technical point of view, this is the correct answer.

Should create no problems at all, PR is from incoming links. Drop downs can be good though always make sure you have a site map of similar also to guarantee all pages can be found easily.
