    heya

    didn't see this so I ask here

    on this google pr thing, you get a pr7 on one site, pr 6 on another and on the firefox pr bar using ( domain.com ) but when you put the www on the domain every place shows a 0pr

    what up with that?

    PR is based on links, if some sites link to the www version and other sites link to the non www version then the 2 can easily be different. You're best redirecting one to the other (I have a feeling of deja vu here :))

    if they are the same site, you want to do a permenant redirect from one to the other. That way PR will be the same on both and you wont risk getting half the pages indexed from one site and half from the other (www and non www)

    I think I remember you have to use a HTACCESS, or maybe that's temporary redirect...

    I don't bother and I use META's. I know that's bad, but oh well. :)

    for htaccess redirect try:
    
    RewriteEngine On 
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}!^www\.example\.com [NC] 
    RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
    
    Code (markup):

    Quite a few servers I have seen have problems running this type of htaccess script.

    If your server uses plesk or some other control panels, htaccess must be in the server root folder one level below the website's root folder for it to work. It wont work in the websites root folder. Because of this the .htaccess has some major problems when trying to redirect a user.

    Personally I haven't found a reliable way to get the htaccess to work if your server is setup like this, without messing up the control panel. I would be interested in knowing if anyone knows how to do it.
