Which is the Correct Pagerank ?

I have a problem here with my Google Pagerank check here.

When I see the Google Tool bar for my pagerank with the URL

http://www.seofreelancing.com --> It shows 4

When I see the Google Tool bar for my pagerank with the URL

http://seofreelancing.com --> It shows 2 (i.e. without the www part in the URL)

I cross checked with http://www.prchecker.info/check_page_rank.php

and it worked the same

Now which is Correct PR?

 

I am using google toolbar and searchstatus tool in firefox for checking Page ranks and they work gr8 for me .

 

well, they are both correct, the problem is that you need to identify in your htacces file which of the those 2 you want to be used: you need to redirect 1 of them to the other, now to google those are 2 different pages !! (and that's why you got 2 different PR's)

 

Can I blindly pick up http://www.seofreelancing.com as the one I want to work with

How do I modify the .htaccess file for this kind of redirection. I am newbie and it would be great if you could help.

 

Hey, I will help you out, pm me details on what exact you want to do under .htaccess

 

When I tried to PM you it said.

FUNNYBIRD has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her.

Anyways I want the user to be redirected to http://www.seofreelancing.com whenever he types http://seofreelancing.com is that meant a good SEO practice.

I am not too sure how it affects Google and SEO. But if no harm I want this as it should not be considered as 2 different pages like what LinkPopularity explained

 

Check ur link popularity and backlink.
Use digpagerank.com and backlinkwatch

 

Use Checkpagerank.net , it's the best ... it shows PR with and without www string !

I suggest you redirect non www version to www version of your site.

It is because, google see

yoursite.com

and

www.yoursite.com

as two different sites. So your PR is divided a little at the moment. I highly recommend that you 301 redirect.

Here is the code

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

 

i would do angilina`s suggestion and redirect the non www

 

use this one http://www.digpagerank.com it checks multiple google datacenters

 

Yes, good idea to go with the redirect. If you don't do so, either one of your domain may be penalized for dup content.

 

My .htaccess file looks like the one below. Is this Fine..

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^seofreelancing\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.seofreelancing.com/$1 [R=301,L]

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName seofreelancing.com
AuthUserFile /hsphere/local/home/hemanthj/seofreelancing.com/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /hsphere/local/home/hemanthj/seofreelancing.com/_vti_pvt/service.grp

Code (markup):

This is the Additional Code I added Above to the Existing .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^seofreelancing\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.seofreelancing.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

 

you should also go to the google webmasters tools, and tell them to use the www domain. It will help

 

I think the last one is the correct one.

 

create a redirect from without www to with www option. it will be fixed

 

The redirects will take time to pool all your links, but it should all be fixed in several weeks. Your .htaccess file looks fine.
