    Hi Guys,
    Need your help... I have a new website, 2 months old. When i checked the pagerank with "www" and without "www", the result is different.

    http://www.domainname.com --> PR 3
    http://domainname.com --> PR 0

    Could you guys please let me know why does it happens ?
    Thanks in advance.:)

    Google will view this as two different URLs. When creating your backlinks you should use one version only. I would think that that the www version has links pointing to it while the URL without the www does not.

    I was under the impression that google was going to treat subdomains as they treat folders? If I have a site with different pages the PR would be for all of them no? Like tiny2.net and tiny2.net/api for example.

    Sub-domains are treated like separate domains. And Pagerank is for the page not the domain, although a link from a high PR domain will carry more weight than a link from a 0 PR site even if the page the link resides on has a 0 PR page.

    make an .htaccess and insert this code in it to 301 redirect the non www link to the www link. in that way if there were to be any PR on the non www link it would be transferred to the www link with time(when google updates):

    Options +FollowSymlinks
    RewriteEngine on
    rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
    rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

    Hi,

    As far as above matter of www and without www domain name is concern that Major Search Engines treats two different domain names, so in order to solve this issue you should go through 301 permanent redirection and also make sure that your website promotion for back - link must be only one version domain such as www.yourdomain.com.

    and more thing if you want 301 permanent redirection, so there is script for that you should use it in .htaccess file.

    No need to worry about it but you should always use to do your link building with www . No need to skip www from your domain name.

    you should be using one uniform URL otherwise you will have PR leak. use 301 redirection to solve the problem now.

    Right, you might want to use only one form of your domain name in building backlinks and a 301 redirection from the unused form to the in use form would be necessary. :)

    Thanks,

    Google Page Rank calculate by each url/each page. It's not same with www and none-www. If you want it same, using redirect from none-www to www or www to none-www.

    Search Engine Considers this as two different sites.You can redirect the non-www to www or www to non-www as you prefer.
