    Upload PSD . com shows PR1
    but when I use the www. prefix it shows PR4
    Can anyone tell me why?

    This is because some people may link to your website.com while others are linking to your www.website.com. The best way to avoid this (because this splits your pagerank between two sites) is to do a redirect so that anyone who goes to website.com gets redirected to www.website.com

    You can check this out by going to smartpagerank.com and entering your URL. This will let you know if you need to do a redirect or not. In your case, you do :)

    with www. and without it counts as two different pages, it happenes, like one of my old site -- with /index.php at the end it was a PR2 without it was a PR3, you should build up your links with the www since its already a PR4 :)

    your domain or your website?

    I guess you are posting in the wrong forum because pagerank is about website content, not domain names at all.

    Yes, you should build your links with the www (in my opinion). But make sure you also redirect your non-www to www!

    you dont have to really do that, search engines will see those as two different urls, make a use of that later.

    True, but instead of splitting pagerank between the two pages, it is usually advisable to have just the one page that gets all of the PR.

    lol haha, pr5, wouldnt that be awesome, and no, it wouldnt be pr5, its not really split up, ur www. is still pr4 and without is still pr1, u cant merge them, i wish you could, some of my sites would be like PR6 or PR7 haha.

    ajandersen is right about just developing one page but its really up to you
