Get More Page Rank Juice

Here's a simple way to increase page rank juice that's often overlooked.

Every site has 2 versions, a http:// and a www

When a site links to you it can link to either, and pass PR juice to either. This means your PR can be spread across multiple versions of your site, decreasing the overall PR of your site.

The www version could be a PR of 4 and the http:// version could be 3, which means your actual PR could be 6 -7

The trick is to make sure all PR is passed to just one version of your site, for example just the www version or the http:// version.

Using a .htaccess file we can use this little bit of code and upload to our servers:


# Redirect non-www urls to www
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^YOUR-SITE-HERE [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.YOUR-SITE-HERE/$1 [R=301,L]


Now all your links pass all PR juice to your site, giving you the PR you truly deserve.

    Google fixed this by giving you the option, via Webmaster tools, to specify the "version" of your site that you desire. So the WWW / non-www isn't an issue anymore.

      ...But it works good for sites you don't put in Google Webmaster Tools.

      Your "darker" sites.
