hi... Why is it that we have dozens of PR5, PR4 and PR3 internal pages but our homepage is just PR0 ?(secure-finance.co.uk) Every subpage is linked back to our homepage (full URL) I thought the frontpage always had the highest PR... Thanks for any opinions -Jhonson
I had PR0 problem before:: It was redirected to a sub domain since it was a new-born website I got PR0 for main domain ..... Now I stop using redirection and it gains PR you may also check your robots.txt ..... user-agent: * disallow: I think you disallow all no robots to visit your homepage so you shall also get no SEs indexed for your homepage at all.....
seems like you link from your subpages to www. secure-finance.co.uk/index.html instead of www. secure-finance.co.uk
Create a .htaccess file with the following code: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.html\ HTTP/ RewriteRule ^index\.html$ http://www.secure-finance.co.uk [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^secure-finance.co.uk RewriteRule (.*) http://www.secure-finance.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L] Code (markup): and replace the code <a href="index.html">Home</a> with <a href="http://www.secure-finance.co.uk/">Home</a> on all your pages.
Its because every page is separate webpage for search engines and you have to optimize every single page to get better ranking not to mention that it is homepage or not.
First I'm sorry but I don't see any PR for any subpage. All the pages are PR zero here. Second the robots.txt is valid and allows ALL robots to access the entire site and each directory/file within. Third I think Google is clever enough to recognize and index.html file to be the homepage alike, hence giving each the exact same PR...
Actually google has big problems with canonicalization of urls. Its always best to use the htaccess trick and to make sure you link to the right places. No PR: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/2006/03 PR7 : http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/2006/03/
