Something Wierd With My HomePage Rank

2paulm · 08-04-2007, 12:12 PM

Hello everyone it's Paul

my home page is found at Free Online Dating Site Abmatch.com Free Online Dating

the actually page it loads is Free Online Dating Site Abmatch.com Free Online Dating

if I type in Free Online Dating Site Abmatch.com Free Online Dating it shows a page rank 1

but if I type in the full address of the home page

Free Online Dating Site Abmatch.com Free Online Dating

it has a page rank of 3 along with several other pages within the php script also have 3

Why is the home page showing this lower rank .. when in reality it is the page rank 3 page that is loading...

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Paul

Google is seeing the 2 pages as different, meaning it does not know that index.php is the same page as when you type in the domain name.

You prob have internal links straight to index.php and external links link straight to index.php which is why the page rank is higher for this page but not the domain.

Page rank is aimed at an individual page NOT the overall site.

To fix this,

1. make sure that both domain address and index.php return the same exact page, meaning you dont have any active code that may change something.
2. setup a site map xml file
3. make sure the sitemap xml is referenced in the robots.txt file
4. install Google analytics and in the setup mark which page is the home page

Give it about a month and all should be sorted.

That happened to me once too actually some time ago. The index.php had PR4 and domain name PR3. What I did is, I made sure, that all links leading to home page ends exactly like: "www.example.com" but not like "www.example.com/index.php" and that's it. It fixed up on next PR update.

there is nothing wrong with your website, it just the search engine indexes the index.php of your site. it is still giving your domain the page rank that it requires.
