Is there a connection between PageRank and the total number of indexed pages?
I thought that if PageRank influences the number of pages in the Supplemental index then it also should have a direct influence on the number of pages in Google’s Main Index, almost by definition, but even more so, that the number of pages indexed at all wether in the Main or Supplemental Index are essentially dependant on PageRank. If a site doesn’t have enough PageRank to support all its pages in the Main Index, it would only seem to make sense that insufficient PageRank could cause some pages to not even make it into the Supplemental Index and therefore not be indexed at all.
