Two PRs the for home page

http ://mir rorcre ator.com shows PR1
whereas http ://mir rorcre ator.com/index.php shows PR2 on the google toolbar (Please remove the spaces)

Why does google consider both as different pages?

use this link and spent your 10 minutes to digest all the material and another time to implement the advice "live to your site"this lesson truly useful.I admit it

 

use canonical tag

 

thanks, this is really good information for me too.

giving u green.

 

It always depends on how many sites link to a url . in your case your main page is looked upon
Google as two different urls and hence separate PR for both.

 

I think 301 redirect will be much better:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://www.yoursite.com/ [R=301,L]

This redirect will pass PR to the home page. Index.php will be redirected to homepage.

 

Excellent info! I haven't come across this before, so I thank you for sharing.

redirect index.php to home page, and popular only home page without index.php that give good weight to home pr
