Pagerank question

absentx · #1 () 09-13-2005, 01:19 AM

My site was just recently converted to Php to accommodate my member login database. Before the switch, my index page was pr4 and all my other pages were pr3. Well, the index page is still pr4 but now none of the other pages (now php instead of htm) are not ranked at all. How does one solve this?

Wait.

All your pages are brand new. They'll get pagerank next update, or the one after that (if the next one is very soon).

Okay, thanks, I thought that might be the case, but they have been php since mid july. So I assume there hasnt been an update since about that time?

Correct. There should be one in about a month.

Hi,

how do you know when google updates their database? Is there some kind of site tracking the "google dance"

Not really a tracking, an expectation.

BTW absentx you could do a redirect from your htm pages to your phps.

You could add this code snippet in a .htaccess file too, it will redirect any 404/missing pages to your index/homepage

Code:

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

Open notepad, copy/paste the above snippet & name the file .htaccess
(no filename, just .htaccess) & upload it to your root directory.

Its a good idea to have this, if you have changed page/file names or not too.
404's do noone any good

cheers
