For some reason, searchstatus (the most useful firefox plugin, ever.) is displaying faux-pagerank for my page.

It’s stating that DaftSEO has a PageRank of four, when an external PageRank engine spits out a result of PR0.

What’s going on? Is Search Status displaying the fake Page Rank for you too?

This neat little trick will force all browsers that are trying to access your website from domain.com into a standardized gateway of www.domain.com for increased search engine consistency, as well as a consistent aesthetic appearance to regular users.

Add the following snippet of code to the .htaccess of your public html directory where you would like to use this.

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

Voila, 301 forwarded to the same homepage every time!

(BTW, this also prevents having such a varying pagerank between domain.com and www.domain.com some of the time.)

Many of you probably have heard about the update through the gaggly school-girl type buzz that has been going around the grapevine yesterday of the PR update.

Just reporting in myself to state that TYPELiFE lost its PR, probably due to my laziness throughout the summer. ( Won’t be happening again, I swear! )

Other sites that received PR penalizations were directories and link lists.
