Page rank authority question.
I was working on a page about article marketing and a thought occurred to me....( that can be scary sometimes...lol )
I've had some very good success with my articles on Street Articles...some with top page rank and others just OK...but here is my question.
Would an article on Page 1 of Google give my website more authority (pr value) than an article say on Page 20 of Google?
Of course the first would drive more traffic but for backlink purposes would one give more authority than the other?
I would think they would be equal but just thought I'd throw that out there...

I think you've confused what the meaning of PageRank is. Page Rank is a formula for working out the 'base' value of a site, for example a Wikipedia article being hosted on a very important (Page Rank) site will naturally rank higher then one that doesn't. As for an article on page 1 giving you more 'authority' then one on page 20, this doesn't work. Since the positioning of articles and results in a search engine is dependent on the search query, an article that might rank on page 1 for one phrase might rank on page 20 for another phrase.
Yes, an article with a high page rank (authority) will give you better results, but even this isn't a guarantee any more. If one of your articles gets shared a lot (Facebook etc) you might find that the authority increases for both the article and the site it links to - although that is just a theory on my part.
So to answer your question, for the most part they are equal. Mark.
