PR and 301 ?

The PR on my site is like this-

/ = PR3
/index.php = PR2
/index.php? = PR1

should I 301 redirect /index.php & /index.php? to / or leave it as it is ?

 

redirect 301 to "/"

 

Redirect all of them to www.yoursite.com always use absolute urls.

 

301 redirect http://yoursite.tld , http://yoursite.tld/index.php , http://yoursite.tld/index.php? to http://www.yoursite.tld

 

Thanks guys,much appreciated.

 

301 redirect to http://example.com/

 

Is a 301 redirect the same as a [Rermanent}?

if not, what advantage does this one have?

 

Yes, if you google "HTTP status codes" you should find all the different types of redirects, but use a 301.

 

its the same thing,you can choose any of these-

example-
redirect 301 /index.html http://www.domain.com/index.html
redirect permanent /index.html http://www.domain.com/index.html
redirectpermanent /index.html http://www.domain.com/index.html

 

what you propose would create a loop

 

I think a 301 redirection would be helpful. your all different page (index.html, http://yourdomain.com, yourdomain.com, www.yourdomain.com etc..) redirect one page. This is the best way.

I agree. I had tried this before and ended up with a loop, since it is reading the same page.

 

sometimes google manages to see itself it's the same site and will put the same PR even if you dont redirect

 

http://www.site.com http://site.com / /index.php /index.php? are all different pages for google.

 

So what would setting up a redirect like this do for you PR and SERPs? I'm assuming it would help, yes?

 

Always be sure that all links pointing to your site are http://www.domain.com ... If you have internal pages all pointing to http://www.domain.com/index.html and some links to http://www.domain.com then the PR gets distributed. I hope you ae getting what i mean

 

OK so I have a site with the follow PR:

http: //www. site.com/ - PR 5
http: //www. site.com/index.php - PR 4
http: //site.com/ - PR 5
http: //site.com/index.php - PR4

So if I did a 301 redirect all to say http: //www. site.com/ that might give me an overal PR6 or something?

 

Have you set up a sitemap & set the preferred domain? This will fix the www.site.com vs site.com issue.
