Can “Pagination” Plugin Improve The “Juice Flow” On Your Blog?

Unfortunately I do not have clear answer about the question in the title of this blog. Never the less yesterday I have installed WP-PageNavi (I have updated to Digg Like Pagination Plugin since) plugin on my blog. If you look at the footer of the main page of my blog, you will notice a row of links to the pages of my blog. I was hesitant about installation of this plugin but after a little research which involved looking at other blogs there might be a good argument in favor of this plugin. If your use WrodPress chances are that the page rank for pages in your blog (yourdomain.com/page/1 and so on) drop considerably after. In my case “page/3″‘s PR is 0.

I believe I might be using similar plugin to what Problogger is using (see the image) (undate: since writing this post I have changed to Digg-Like Pagination Plugin, it looks much nicer). If you can browse through Darren’s blog you will notice that these pages retain rather high PR up to “page/5” and then “page/6” PR goes down to 0.

I have chosen to show all available pages on my blog, probably under inspiration of Businesses Opportunities Blog. You can see that Dane had listed all his pages as well and unlike Problogger his first page that is ranked at 0 is “page/237”, and only 16 blog pages out of 250 have no PR yet. The rest of the pages rank with PR 5 and PR 4.

I know this plugin will create tons of duplicate links around my blog but will they contribute to overall “Juice Flow”? I wish either Darren or Dane would notice my blog and provide me with an answer. Otherwise I will have to wait through few PR updates to find an answer to this question.

PS. Here is another “Digg-Like” pagination plugin. I initially tried to install it on my blog but it did not work now it works perfectly. Not being able to understand the Spanish I decided to go with WP-PageNavi instead.
