    I had a thread a while back where I asked if all things where equal what would determine ranking.

    As a chemist , I think in terms of dependent and independent variables.

    So if you had to sites created at the same time, same content, same server, etc etc but one www.yellowcow.com and the other was www.yellowcows.com, which would recieve higher page rank?

    Same amount of high value links pointing at each domain as well?

    Hi BJ; We hadn't spoke in a while, if you are still interested in discussing SEO as you stated, PM me, or call me @ 502-356-8775

    Regarding your question above: It depends on the spider grabbing the content on the site; I've never been in the situation described. I would think if the spiders found the same content/structure, etc. it would give priority to whichever site it spidered first.

    Anyone else?

    No it won't - PageRank is only determined by links, and has nothing to do with duplicate content.

    Cryo.

    thelouisvilleseo do you think it's wise publishing your tel. number? Not that it's my business but I would think that it's not a good move.

    Priority in SERPs, yes. PR difference? Nah. This is too fine-grained of an experiment to help you understand PR. In fact, domain names most likely do not impact PR calculation - links do.

    Only links determine PR.

    If all else was the same, only difference being an (s) in domain name then the results would be identical.

    Your testing the wrong variables.

    I am sorry. I mispoke. I do not mean PageRank, as in Google Trademark.

    I mean it as in the order in which it would be listed by the search engine. Which would google list first?

    My apologies.

    That would depend on the backlinks. The text in the url would have no effect on that. And BTW if you haven't noticed PR is kind of like fools gold. It looks good but in reality is worthless.

    That my friend, would depend on if people are searching for cows or cow. If you have the same links pointing to the two different sites, the experiment won't provide you any useful data except prove the fact that singular and plural searches can provide different data. Instead, if you are going to do these experiments..how about testing the authority of .edu link or links from dmoz?
