I'm using SEO Doctor to analyze my site at http://www.MoneyWisePastor.com. It tells me that most of my posts have a page rank flow of 35-38%, and it says that the flow should be 50% or higher. Is anyone familiar with how page rank flow works, and would you have any suggestions on what I can do on my site to boost it? At first, I thought maybe it was because I had an adsense block in the upper left-hand corner of my posts, but I removed that, and the page rank flow has remained the same. Thank you!

I've been blogging for over 3 years and have never heard of page rank flow; sorry I can't help.

Kay, thanks for your reply. If I understand it correctly, page rank flow describes how much of your page rank stays with you compared to how much flows out to other sites, based on the amount of external links you have. My page rank flow seems to be indicating that I have a page rank leak somewhere, but I'm not seeing it. Hopefully someone else out there is more familiar with this. Thanks again!
By the way, I see you're in San Diego. I get out there a couple of times a year – absolutely love it.

Never heard of either SEO Doctor or PageRank flow. Not sure how much weight I'd give to something like that. Do you have reason to believe that they actually know what they're talking about?

Michael, thanks for your comment. Here's a description of Page Rank Flow from the SEO Doctor website:
——————————
Page Rank Flow
Page rank flow is a number expressed in percentage of the links on the page going out of your domain, versus the total number of links. A page where all links are internal (going to the same domain) will have Page rank flow of 100% while the page where all links go to external sites will have page rank flow of 0%.
In a nutshell this number represents how much of the incoming Page rank is kept on your site.
————————-
And here's a link that describes the SEO Doctor tool: http://www.prelovac.com/vladim…..tor#prflow
I've analyzed my other sites with SEO Doctor and they've checked out fine, but on my MoneyWisePastor.com site, the page rank flow has been very low, so that's why I'm trying to figure out if there's something amiss somewhere on this site. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

Interesting tool. I just used it on my site and discovered that the front page lacks an H1 tag. This is apparently a limitation of Thesis when using a graphical header. On single post pages, the title is H1 but on pages with multiple articles (like the front page) the titles are H2 since there is more than one. The tagline is supposed to be H1 but with a graphical header there is no tagline. Hmmm… What to do.
For what it's worth, my PageRank flow checks out nicely, with values in of 85-90% or more on all pages I checked.
Given how it's calculated, it sounds like you either need more internal links or fewer outbound links.

I've never heard of any of this but I have to agree with Michael. If the number is based on internal versus external links, then it sounds to me like you need to be linking internally more. Or linking externally less. Right?
So then, google pagerank takes into account how many internal versus external links you have? I don't think I'll ever have my site exactly how google wants it, haha! Too much stuff to pay attention to!

TB, thanks for your comment! I discovered that it was the Twitter feed plugin widget in my sidebar that was creating too many external links. Once I removed it, the problem cleared up.
