in relation to backlinks to your site. let's say my site was

www.mysite.com

when determining PR does google could incoming links on another site with say a PR of 4, in this form:

www.mysite.com/in.php?ID125

ie do they ignore the in.php.... and still count it as a link to your site

thanks, hope this question isn't stupid

the PR & linkpop is to the full url so www.mysite.com/in.php?ID125 gets the credit for the link.

The only exception to this are links to named anchors because anything after the # is handled by the browser so are ignored by SE crawlers.

PR is for each page and if google find links to the page it assigns a PR to that page and also the links on that page get something form that page as well.

I also believe that a backlink only counts if it has page rank of 3 or higher it's self. So if you have a bunch of backlinks with only a 2 they do not help your ranking.
