PageRrank maths!

ok here is the equation.

after the update my blog changed its pr

the root directory innovation.com has a PR4, the directory of the blog innovationzen.com/blog has a PR5.

this divided PR is bothering me, if I make a 301 redirect from the /blog to the innovationzen.com will the PR4 jump to what?

and if no one is able to calculate it, is the 301 the best I could do anyway?

 

Then the PR4 will probably jump to PR5, maybe 6, but that's only if your 5 is very very close to being a 6. You'll have to wait for the next PR update for it to change though. Yep, a 301 is the best way to do it.

 

thanks,

by the way, once I do the 301 the PR will transfer in a couple of days or it will need to wait Google's next PR update?

 

My site is still showing a PR3, if it doesn't go up I'm going to be angry. I've done so much link building, I want a 5.

 

You'll have to wait for the next update.

 

I am having some troubles to set the redirect with yahoo.

Here is what their customer service proposed me:

"You can use PHP to modify the header sent to the browser so that it
contains a 301 Redirect:

<?

header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://www.newdomain.com/newpage/newurl.htm");
exit();

?>
"

Will this work as a 301 redirect or it is just crap?

thanks for the help

 

I'm not sure if that would work or not, but here's what I'd use in the .htaccess file:

redirect 301 /blog http://www.innovationzen.com
