Gute Erläuterung zu Orphan Pages (Seiten ohne Links)

Hallo, Danke für die bisherigen Antworten. Habe nochmal recherchiert und dabei folgende interessante Seite zum Thema gefunden:

Wenn ich es richtig verstanden habe, sind PageRank-Seiten, die nicht mehr verlinkt werden, sogar schädlich:

Do orphaned pages affect non orphaned pages or rankings?

I had a conversation with Jim about how supplementals were affecting the rankings of one of our larger sites. He indicated that he didn’t believe that supplementals should affect rankings, simply that the supplemental pages wouldn’t rank above the primary index. He’s right. The problem is that orphans affect your rankings because they disrupt an effective linking architecture and become drains on the page rank of other pages within the same domain.

Hi,

That's utter nonsense. An orphan page (or 'orphaned page') by definition is a page not linked to from anywhere in the net, and especially not linked to from any other page within the same domain. Since no PR goes in, no PR can 'drain' out.

There may be other reasons for orphan pages to influence a domains ranking (e.g. DC, if the content has moved to another address without the proper 301, while the old page is still indexed and cached [the ''sloppy programming penalty"]).
