[build-reciprocal-links]

Hi,

One of my client http://www.freecounterandstats.com/ has indexpage with Page Rank of 1 and all inner pages with Page Rank of 6.

Can any body suggest me the reason for the same?

I know you don't want to hear this, but don't worry what the Google toolbar says. It is just color on a toolbar, entertaining at best and doesn't help you make money on the website itself. The real "PR" value is never truly seen in real-time anyways so who cares?

I think we are going to start seeing hospitals report poor people having heart attacks from Google ranking and toolbar fluxuations more and more in the coming months.

This industry has done itself no favors in putting credibility and stock into these two somewhat ridiculous metrics.

People worry way too much about Google PageRank. I would concentrate on search engine results pages. Having a high PageRank does not mee you'll show up in the search results.

Guys and ladies, don't forget that many people are just getting started with Internet business, and many companies heard of this green PR line and trust that it really helps.

It took Google years to stuff the PR dream into the heads of average person. Probably it'll take years again to change the focus.

Sometimes Internet reminds me of a big chatter box. Someone shouted 'wow, now they look for relevancy' and forums get crashed with zillions of the same *revelations* - and smarter guys release secret reports where they explain why relevancy is king - amazing.

Try it. Test it. If it works and all others follow the rumors, don't care for what they say.

And, build-reciprocal-links, don't be surpised to see more strange actions with Google. I don't know if it is wise to share this with your client, but you can hint that Google has very big problems with making all ends of its supercomplicated algorithm fit into a logical picture. Prepare them to have reasonable trust to World #1 SE.

Well,

none of the reply is satisfactory. Anyone know the exact reason?

One thing that is not helping is that you have duplicate sites at http://www.freecounterandstats.com and http://freecounterandstats.com

The funny thing is someone knows that they have two versions. Look at the internal links for the two sites: FOR EXAMPLE
1) freecounterandstats.com (links to) http://freecounterandstats.com/about_us.html and
2)www.freecounterandstats.com (links to) http://www.freecounterandstats.com/about_us.html


Do a 301 direct and keep either the www or non-www version

[build-reciprocal-links]

Anyone know how to setup 301 redirection?

[scanmonkey]

Place in your .htacces

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.freecounterandstats\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.freecounterandstats.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Cheched with the tool below to confirm that the redirection is working properly.

I have just noticed my site has two versions too, luckily it seems google is only listing one version (the one with the 'www' in it), however the other has a same page rank so maybe it is seeing it as duplicate content but only showing one evrsion in its' listings.

Is it best if i set up too a redirect so everyone is forced to use the 'www' version?

BTW all advertising i have done for my site was including the 'www' bit in the links.

Also if i do do this would the following code be correct so that everyone used the 'www' version or is this code to use the 'none www' version? (as i want it to force people onto the 'www' version.



Place in your .htacces

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mysite\.net [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.net/$1 [R=301,L]

Oh i nearly forgot, i am on Linux and also using cpanel, also have shell and ftp access.

I also know where my .htaccess is as i have altered it previously.

[incrediblehelp]

Well it should work, but instead of asking us, when you implement it go check to see if you get a 301 redirect response yourself here:

Well this is weird as it already had a temp redirect:

RedirectMatch temp ^/$ http://serious-sounds.net/index.htm

I dunno what that was for! (ah i remember now, it was to direct them to .htm as i was using a .php script in root folder called index.php which i did not want on the main entrance or in a sub-folder.

I don't think so that it is related with the issue of www and non-www site.

Different PR of homepage and innerpage seems to be google toolbar error?

I really don't care about the difference in the toolbar numbers, the issue is avoiding seeing to home pages indexed by any of the search engines. This is the main reason to do this for any of your websites.

Hey build-reciprocal-links,

I don't know you want to maintain duplicate content on the www and non-www versions of your site. It's your site and you can do what you want.
