Should I consolidate my PageRank?

    Hi guys, I have just bought a new site, toffeeblue.com.

    Now, http://www.toffeeblue.com is a PR3, but when you tag on /index.php, it is only a PR2.

    My question is, should I somehow consolidate these PR's, to get a higher, total PR...

    Thanks in advance!

    Your problem is one of URL canonicalization: the same page is available through 2 different URLs.

    Make sure that all your internal links to the homepage point to the domain root rather than the filename, ie www.toffeeblue.com/ rather than www.toffeeblue.com/index.php

    301 redirect /index.php to the domain root. Using .htaccess (assuming you are using an Apache server with rewrite enabled):
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*index\.php\ HTTP/
    RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php$ /$1 [R=301,L]
    Code (markup):
    Whilst you're at it, make sure that the non-www version of your site 301 redirects to the www version (or vice versa).

    You can read more about URL canonicalization in the google web master tools. There you can see a detailed report that I think will solve your problem. :)

    You can do a 301 redirect

    PR is just a number

    Pr not equals traffic
    Pr not equals rankings

    Ptr for me is useless

    So NO

    Yeah, PR is useless, but, people base links on PR, so the higher the PR, the more powerful links I can get ;)
