why would www.domain.com have pr but not domain.com
-
Because it's technically two different URLs.In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator. -

because Jesus hates you
Often times I wonder why
There's love and hate, theres live or die.
When sickness comes I must decide:
When feelings go, theres suicide.

word. Just Add www at the host level if somebody goes to http://domain.com/ and all your PR will be as one.Originally posted by crockett

www. is a subdomain of domain.com. SEs treat subdomains as different "sites" and thus they each have their own PR. You need to pick either ww w.domain.com or just domain.com and make sure ALL links use what you've choosen. Also implement a permanent redirect in your .htaccess from the one you don't want, to the one you do.Comment

I have some domains listed as www.whatever.com/foldername/ thats a pr of 3 and the www.whaterver.com/foldername/index.html as a pr of 0 and allways wondered how to fix it. Changed all the links pointing to the page but never tried the .htaccess.Comment

because your incoming links are to the www urlComment

Instead of doing it with htaccess its a lot easier to just get your host to set your apache defaults (assuming apache here) so that your ServerName setting always returns the www version.
As it is a separate "subdomain" there is also a problem on some sites Ive seen where they use relative linking instead of static links, and Google (because of a bug introduced in 2004) treats these not only as two different sites, but will split subpages for the two sites which can play havoc with your SERPs (since PR really has very little to do with positioning - at least the displayed PR that is)Comment

I'm not sure what you're asking.Originally posted by Devils_ChildComment

That won't fix anything as it won't prevent anyone from still linking to your site as domain.com. So any SEs crawling from there will still have the 2 entries. But if you do the permanent redirect to the www., then the SE will just have the 1.Originally posted by LinksterComment

It won't hurt the PR on the www.domain.com at all if domain.com redirects to www.domain.com. I can't say whether it would affect pr on domain.com... it seems likely that it would, perhaps... but I wouldn't worry about that too much.Originally posted by Devils_Child
