Darksat forum has PR4

[Darksat]

No such thing as a Pr0
even a PR0 page has a little basic PR 10-15%
You can easily generate PR if you have enough pages on your site plus a few links.
How many internal pages do you have.

If I redirect something.com/index.php to something.com/ will this increase the PR?
I have seen a lot of sites with different PRs for the same page like the above example. Even this forum has the same problem.

[Darksat]

Yeah It wil slightlyl, however if both the pages have the same link structure the subpages will still get the same PR/anchor text boost.

[solidghost]

Hehehe, good to know.
Would be useful to push PR to one page.

I have only about 25 static pages for visitors and about 100 active pages

[Darksat]

Well 125 pages can generate a PR2, combined with your links, this should be just about enough to give you a low PR4.

[solidghost]

It's pretty easy to get PR3. But PR4 requires some work.

[roksolana]

I added pages and today generated sitemap shows 160 pages at all

[solidghost]

Any duplicates? Best to remove duplicate pages.

[roksolana]

If I have an article in the article.htm page and the same article in the blog and blog archive. Are there duplicate pages?

[solidghost]

Depending on how Google interpret it, it should be treated as duplicate.
But does the blog archive point to the same page as the article? If so, then no worries, it is still the same page. No duplicates.

[roksolana]

Sitemap shows archive pages as separate pages with their own URLs.

[solidghost]

Ouch that ain't good.
How about using .htaccess to redirect them?

[roksolana]

I am not familiar with that method
what should I do?

[Darksat]

can you post example URLs for me to take at look at?
