SEO Question: Passing PR from domain.com to www.domain.com
 

because some people link to http://domain.com and http://www.domain.com isnt it true that the pr is split up?

If so is there a way to channel it to one or the other :)

AC

lol dont think so it will split up :-)

Im sure there is a way to do it :) there is a way to do everything :)

AC

yes of course there will be different PRs for each one

there was a thread about this exact topic over on VideosBoard

I know they will be, im asking the best way to pass one to the other? I mean I guess I could just do a redirect on index.html from http://domain.com to go righ to http://www.domain.com and on the page its self (the redirect have a hardlink to http://www.domain.com that way when the spiders hit it they will pass most the pr sent to http://domain.com to http://www.domain.com i just figured there would be a better way to do this via htaccess maybe?

AC

All the seos must go to bed early :)

AC

I am no SEO but there is not way to pass it from what I know. A subdomain is like a different domain.

IK dont think that could be done

301 moved permanently will do the trick.

I believe a 301 (permanent redirect) would pass all PR to the same URL. But I could be wrong.

It will but it takes time and a lot of it. So leave it up and make sure you get the links in the future the way you want.

Did a quick Google search and found this thread on the subject:

http://biz-whiz.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-63--.html

It supports the notion of doing a 301.

you know shit what youre talking about
either put up a 301 htaccess redirect

or use this php code and a like:

google strongly supports those 301s and credits you your PR

Do a 301 redirect. It may take a while to occur but it will work.

This website has a wizard animation that auto loaded on my ie browser. How did they do it? and what is it. I want to make one:)
Also I used the 301 redirect in my htaccess it works.

nice

Anyone have an example of the .htaccess file i would need to do this?

AC

bump for the 301 fukas

Redirect permanent / http://www.reflected.net
Redirect permanent /index.php http://www.reflected.net/

would that work

AC

lol well it half worked, but it made everything else on the site un accessabe ;\

The search is down on GFY, so I could'nt find the post I made with a solution to this problem, but I did repost it here:

http://www.thisjobsux.com/index.php?act=ST&f=2&t=7&

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com
rewriterule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

in htaccess works perfect, thanks CyberTraffic.
