I have a site which is a PR3 if you type it http://whateversite.com and it's a PR2 if you type it http://www.whateversite.com. What's up with that?

It means you should count the hits in from the search engine rather than worry about it's gay ass PR ranking.

Google rules obviously, but there are other fish to be spammed (did I say that?) Must have meant fried, but ya never know!

google is crazy

Operator error ? :blink:

It has something to do with W3C and the correct format for a URL. Google recognises both URL formats as the same site but the www is the correct format.

Sub domains are a different story.

From what I hear anyway :)

Actually, and this is what I think, not what I know (see sig) www.mydomain.com is a subdomain of mydomain.com

:unsure:

Here's a typically short breakdown:

There's shed loads more on the matter but I hate trawling around W3C and the other various sites.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't really concerned about it affecting me but I just found it weird. :huh:

Damn, I was hoping he was going to ask what causes big zits on the perineum.

I was kinda wondering about that one myself.

I think youll find its how the incoming links are formatted.


If all your incoming links ( and PR) go to www.xxx.com, PR will show for that url, if there are none going to xxx.com, with no www, there will probably be no pr showing.

But Bill is right..PR aint worth much these days, except for spidering frequency.

Bill, I've emailed you and tried to get in contact re buying domains..can you get in touch please ?

Ill icq you again.

Google sees it as two different pages so they have different page ranks.

You should be able to see a difference as well on:

domain.com/
and
domain.com/index.html (or whatever page is directory default thingie).

The PR you see on your toolbar is purely for entertainment value. Google's "real" PR for your page isn't published.

Worry far, far more about on-page content, inbound and outbound links than PR.

not really a bad thing, both urls are getting some seperate traffic. just worry about the hits (not from google spider)
