PR Puzzle?

Hi friends

As PR is being updated--I have been having problems--understanding a puzzling aspect of this whole process----------------

While---site

http://adamfletcher.co.uk
-----has a PR0

the same site with -----------
http://www.adamfletcher.co.uk
--has PR2

Also
http://nsraweb.com
har PR4

But
http://www.nsraweb.com
has PR0.

Whereas both url will lead you to the same site---I don't understand how Google has so much difference.

Please enlighten me.

 

Google is filtering one of those out because they are duplicates (normally the one it deems less relevant, aka: the one with fewer inbound links). Normal procedure here is to 301 redirect one to the other to preserve inbound link weight.

 

Thanks for the explanation. So which one is duplicate? The higher PR or PR0.
Regards

 

There are links to both forms of URL (with and without www) so PR is split between them. Only one of the forms should be used to link to, but what TheMadHat proposes gets around that problem.

 

301 the PR0 to the higher PR.

 

If you don't use the 301 redirect or set in .htaccess, google will treat a website with and without www differently, so no strange for the different PR. Just use 301 redirect.

 

Or you could log in to www.google.com/webmaster and click which site you will use.
