For this reason and dupe content I never show the file name of my homepage becuase you do not need too. Simply link too "/".

It takes a many more months for sites PR to become updated than PR for a new site so you did not need to link back.

when you update it is considered as new site by google. and your php thing affects it (PR) ... 'coz dynamic link like php is not SE friendly unlike static link(html) ... url rewrite it first.... and add more quality links...

Weren't we talking about this in another thread and I told you that the change would affect your PR and your linking strategies? It will take now a long time till google will give you a new PR and you have to start linking campaigns that lead to the new pages. The redirects matter only for the pages which are still ranked in the SERPs - they are no warranty to keep a PR. Sure you've got a PR 0 because you have new URLs.

hi,
is your organic traffic dropped?
you still have your pr4. you can wait for next pr update.(toolbar is just guessing pr) but i suggest not to do that again to switch again to php.
why did you not post question here before switching it back again to html?
it was safe to use 301 but as i told you toolbar pr is just guessing pr for internal links( since you have 301 in your header and it was treated as new by google or toolbar). you need to wait until the next update to see your real pr.

ill suggest you to re-write your index.php to index.html instead.

I done that. Change a design and the page rank drops. I dont know why they do that

I left my homepage with index.html and it has pr4, other pages with pr0 and i added 301 redirect. I hope it will help.

right as your index,html was changed to .php it was considered as new site. Therefore the PR was 0. Waiting for PR update is a good idea.
