Pr with and without the www

    What are you thoughts on PR with and without the www. My PR is the same with and without the www, but I see many who optimize for one or the other.

    Your best bet would be to 310 redirect one to the other and consolidate your links and PageRank.

    thats a new one - 301 is more likely -
    avoid 302 like the plague - gets you into trouble.

    PS You can do it in either direction, just don't use both

    That sounds like a good idea.

    Hi Shawn,
    Just confirming that it was a typo and should be 301. With your tech-erudition, I cannot be sure that there isn't really a 310 ;)

    It should be a 301.

    To redirect one domain to another on an Apache Server, using Apache Mod_rewrite, place this code in your .htaccess file:

    
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain1\.com [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain2.com/$1 [R=301,L]
    
    Code (markup):

    It is a 301:

    from Google PageRank information at http://www.google.com/webmasters/4.html#A3

    3. I'm changing my URL. How can I maintain my rank?

    Regrettably, we cannot manually change your listed address at the same time you move to your new site.

    That said, there are steps you can take to make sure your transition is a smooth one. Google listings are based in part on our ability to find you from links on other sites. To preserve your rank, you will want to inform others who link to you of your change of address. One way to find out who is linking to you is to try a link search. Enter "link:[your full URL]" into the Google search box. You may not find every page that links to you with this method, but it should help you begin redirecting the links leading to your site. (Please note: we do not serve link queries for all of the sites in our index, so this may not produce any results for your site.) Once your new site is live, you may wish to place a permanent redirect (using a "301" code in HTTP headers) on your old site to inform visitors and search engines that your site has moved.

    Finally, if your site goes unlisted for a time, this does not mean you were dropped from our index. Sometimes, in these transitions, we will fail to find a site at its new address. Just be sure that others are linking to you and we should pick you up on our next web crawl.

    - end -

    Now, my question:

    I have a PR5 at http://www.theBubbler.com
    and a PR4 at http://www.theBubbler.com/index.php

    First, should I consolidate?
    Second, if I should, how?

    Thanks.

    Regards,
    Keith

    Edit (or create) a .htaccess file, i.e: a file called ".htaccess" in the root directory. This is just a standard text file so you can create/edit it in Notepad if you want.

    Now, say you want to redirect the index.htm page somewhere. You will need to add this line to the .htaccess file:

    redirect 301 index.htm http://www.anysite.com/anypage.htm

    Replace index.htm by the page to be redirected
    and
    http://www.anysite.com/anypage.htm by the page you are redirecting to.

    You can even redirect a page to an external site if you want to. Hope this helps!
