Thanx for the info! There might be NO difference for us, but in google terms www and no www has lot of difference.
I have a site that went up and site that went down... as well as others that remain unchanged. I'm not convinced we have the full story. Perhaps it was not THE update process, but there are some unexplained PR changes out there.
The example Matt Cutts gave, iphpcalendar, just does not make sense to me. Why would you do an algo update just to have PR for duplicate content? http://www.google.com/search?q="One+of+our+academic+programs+here+at+Texas+A&M"&filter=0 Gotta be more smoke and mirrors. Do you really want to know what it was that was fixed? Read the first paragraph here: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/infrastructure-status-january-2007/#comment-93618 The pages on the site I wrote about now have PR for the deeper, internal pages (not linked to the homepage). Seems they screwed something up with default settings for the canonicalization tool to me... but Google never messes up on canonicalization. Now read the second half of my post on Matt Cutts' blog... And look at the cache of the pages in the search I suggest. Remind you of anything? Edit: I suppose I should admit the site is an Amazon affiliate site.
What I know is (just 2 examples) http://ask-dir.com/Business/Insurance/Vehicles/ new category no PR now PR4 http://ask-dir.com/Games/Gambling/ old category PR4 now PR0 Something as happened....
ok i got different pr on both http://asksam2.com = PR3 and http://www.asksam2.com = PR4 with the same pages on both
The non-www version of your url produces 302 status codes... Check your server headers and status codes. Make them 301 and you should not have that problem, Sam.
ty sweetie, i have to rebuild the site, i need to drop the portal and go back to basics. no it's the toolbar that lists them as different. the tools all list pr4
