Question...

MrMean · 07-03-2004, 12:33 AM

Hi I'm new to the forum or atleast sort off new! I have been reading a couple forums a few times a week although have never before taken the time to register and post. Therefore today I decided I would start participating.

Now my question, well I have my site and I'm trying to increase my page rank like every other webmaster on the planet. Which is quite sad in some respects.

Anyway why is it the http://domain.com has the page rank 0 and www.domain.com has PR3 and www.domain.com/index.php has zero again.

If you can explain to me in easy terms? I would be greatful. I look forward to reading some replies!

because each could be individual sites in actuallity.

I'm aware of that, but there all identical?

ye s change your extension from PHP, to Html for that you have to change your PHP to HTMl, PHP pages are not easy to optaimize and they are not Index Properly in Google

Yes, they can be the same, but they aren't necessarily the same as far as Google is concerned.

You don't need to change the name of index.php as long as that is the default "home page" on your server - Google can and does index php pages quite nicely as long as they don't contain session IDs or other long variable strings.

Eventually, Google will figure out that all those URLs point to the same page but you can speed up that process by being consistent in your internal links and requesting others to be consistent in their links to you. I think it's usually best to use the www.sitename.com version which will default to whatever the default home page is - most people assume the "www" part unless it's obviously a subdomain.

Extension html is the best for google Optaimization

http://domain.com
www.domain.com
www.domain.com/index.php

All three are different to google. So here is the solution:
1. Get all backlinks to www.domain.com exactly and no other. (I would even terminate http://domain.com and leave one)
2. Link back all your inner pages to www.domain.com

These actions will consentrate all your PR on www.domain.com

I have actually experienced the same thing. I have a higher PR for http://domain.com rather than http://www.domain.com

I only bothered checking because I recently lost PR during the last Google update. I haven't changed in the SERPS, though.

This is not true, PHP, ASP, CFM, JSP, ASPX sites all get indexed as easily as html sites.

The issue is that when someone programs a site with dynamic elements they need to know how to program in that language and keep the site SE friendly. There is no advantage though to going with an html expension if you know how to make SE friendly dynamic web sites.

Ditto 88sahara's comments above for this comment.

Make your pages spider-friendly - that's what's "best for Google optimization".

Yeah, exactly... brickred, I don't think you know what you're talking about.

I agree...i don't know what you are talking about either brickred...PHP pages get indexed just fine in google. The extension shouldn't matter unless it's a long variable string.
