After some serious consideration decided to cut off all the internal links to the homepage using nofollow. It's kinda scary, but I figured out I should survive :). The reasoning under this decision is pretty simple. After internal links reorganizing I have three pages receiving almost all link love from the whole site: homepage and two money-making Adsense pages. If I cut off the homepage, these two pages should receive one and a half times more link juice.
Will it improve Adsense pages rankings? This is the goal. Will it hurt homepage ranking? I bet it will. How much? I have no idea. Since 95% of money are currently made on one Adsense page, and I'm currently promoting the second one that should become better money-maker, I guess homepage ranking is not that important from the income point of view.
Information sharing is a different story. At the first glance it should suffer if I get less traffic to the homepage. Well, consider this: if I manage to double the traffic on my Adsense pages (what moving from 5th to 3rd place on Google for a couple of key keywords can easily do), how many people will wander to explore the rest of the site? My guesstimate is much more than I lose on homepage. I'm going for it.
