The Arcive of vBulletin Modifications Site.

I have a question about PR.

My site http://www.puretalkforum.com has a PR of 3 if you use www.puretalkforum.com. But without the www., it is is just puretalkforum.com, it has a PR of 0.

Is this bad or is it normal? Is there anything I need to do?

Thanks!

This is because google sees both as separate PAGES.

PR is PAGE rank, not SITE rank.

If you want to redirect requests for 'non-www' to 'www', use the following .htaccess:

.htaccess in your forum directory:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.puretalkforum\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.puretalkforum.com/forum/$1 [R=301,L]

.htaccess in your root:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.puretalkforum\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.puretalkforum.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Ahh...I understand now. I did what you said and it looks like it's working well.

Thank you very much!
