Understanding Pagerank

**relientmark** · 02-27-2006, 10:32 PM

hey Guys,

Just a quick question in regards to page rank.

for our website www.lunchtime.com.au we have a pagerank of 3/10
for our domain lunchtime.com.au we have a pagerank of 5/10

Is that right they are different?

How can I raise the www pagerank?

Why would they be different.

How does this affect google listings? A link to lunchtime.com.au or www.lunchtime.com.au is the same thing.

Thanks

Mark

google sees www.domain.com and domain.com as different sites. As each of these urls (siites) has a different amount of bcklinkks they have a different page rank..

Use a modrewrite to keep them all the same.

Put this is a htaccess file to focuus all PR to www.domain.com, Its a 301 permenent redirect, It should also pass on page rank

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\..* [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301]

Edit:
Also, Its imporatnt when building your site that all internal links link to the same url.
Its no good having a link to domain.com on one page and a link to www.domain.com on another.

this probably happened because you have promoted both www . domain and domain
