I've got an expired domain here that I'm trying to re-install on wordpress and use.
In archive.org I type "domain.ca" and see this when I click a timeline:

I know nothing of anything regarding website design/installations but I am assuming that its 301'ing the "domain.ca" to a subdirectory = "domain.ca/en"?
Now all of the back links pointing to this site are distributed between:
"domain.ca"
"domain.ca/en"
"domain.ca/fr"
The site was previously in both english and french it would seem.
When I go to Open Site Explorer under "Top Pages" I see:
"domain.ca/"
"domain.ca/en"
"domain.ca/fr"
"domain.ca/en/main/splash"
My Question is:

"domain.ca/en/main/splash"
My Question is:
- are these subdirectories or are these pages? How can I tell because the extention for both a page, post or subdirectory looks the exact same in the url structure?
- if they are subdirectories, then the most PR links are pointing at "domain.ca/en". Can I simply build the site on a that subdirectory and 301 the root and fr subdirectory to siphon all the PR to the "domain.ca/en"?
