Pagerank is a method made by google to rate sites. 1 is the lowest, 10 is the highest. The pagerank rating determines how high up on the results list your site will be (among other factors).

ok, i get it so page rank 3 is good isn't it?

[nts]

Yes, PR 3 is pretty good.

the page rank on one is lower since more sites must have used www to link into you.

[chris1906]

that is right.
If all websites link to www.xxxxxx.com, this site can have a Pr 4 and for xxxxxx.com it can have pr1. It just depends on to wich url the websites who link to you are linking too.

ok, i get it now so the must sites have linke dyou with www.
hope that's don't minimize your domain potential

If, for example, your site is a PR4 without the "www." but a PR0 with the "www.", and you want to pass the PR accross, all you need to do is link your title or logo right at the top of the homepage to "http://www.yoursite.com", so that whenever Google visits "http://yoursite.com", the first link it comes accross is the link to "http://www.yoursite.com". Then, by the next PR update, it should have passed at least some of the PR across.

I had a site that was PR0 with the "www." and PR5 without. Now after using this method it is PR4 both with and without.

you can also use mod_rewrite to redirect the lower of the two to teh higher of the two, that way the higher would get even higher with added links redirecting to it, and you don't have to worry about lower one, cause it becomes the higher one.

Ya this happens mainly becasue Google treats http://site and www.site as different. I think Mr. Domain gave a wonderful tip.
Thanks for the same

[Mr.Domains]

wow thanks, Also pagerank updates every 3 months.

Well, _roughly_ every 3 months. I think it has been nearly 4 months since the last one. Has anyone here been loggin the last few PR update dates?

Actually what you should do is a homepage redirect in your .htaccess file, and 301 forward non-www to www.

HI

I have a lot of PR 4 websites and a few PR 5 sites what is the best way to get the PR 4 sites to PR 5 and the PR 5 sites to PR 6 or maybe 7...

Any ideas.

Thanks
Tom Dahne

[Mr.Domains]

Any ideas.

Yes, exchange links with other PR4 & PR5 sites! If you get a dozen other PR4 & PR5 sites linking to you, you're sites should move up to PR5 & PR6.

(I have 2 PR4 sites I would be happy to exchange links on...)

all pagerank is is a way to show how important a site is to internet users based on the google search engine which includes backlinks/link popularity and how many other PR sites are linking to it.
