    Hello!,

    I've been checking my page rank for a few days now and i noticed that google gives a lower PR to my homepage when its typed without the "www" in the address bar... and it gives a higher PR to my domain when its typed including the "www" (full URL). I tried modifying my .htaccess file (301 redirect) using the following settings:

    redirect 301 /www/index.html http://www.sameURL.com/index.html

    I'm doing something wrong here because I dont get redirected to the full URL address. the "/www/" is the folder where my site is hosted and i'm redirecting it to the full URL... does this make any sense? If i type my URL like "http://mysite.com" my PR is 3 but if I type it like "http://www.mysite.com" my PR is 4!...
    Is there anyway to consolidate my url and PR?
