I have an ASP based website which has one problem.

As an ASP site, I have the my normal home page www.abc.com with a pagerank of 1, but I also have my page www.abc.com/default which has a pagerank of 3. None of my 10 second level internal pages have a pagerank, neither do my 300 third level pages.

I think that I have a problem as my pagerank is split - after all, my home page and my /default page are the same thing.

Do I need to change my linking structure somehow so that these two pages are seen as being the same, so that some of the combined pagerank flows down from them.

All my external inbound links go to www.abc.com, and every page (300 of them), is linked to the main 10 pages.

Any help would be great.

Hi,

I'm not sure I undertand your question, and some of it doesn't make sense to me.

All I can say is that I always link to my home page with something like:

<a href="http://www.mysite.com/">Keyword #1</a>

rather than ../default.asp etc.

(You should use a similar for your external inbound links ie no index.htm default.asp etc in the url.)


Hope that helps,
Paz.

Just to clarify, I have www.mysite.com with PR1, but www.mysite/default.asp has PR3 - I don't understand why as they are both the same page.

All external links into me, point to www.mysite.com. All my internal links are of the format <a href="extra.asp" which goes to www.mysite/extra.asp.

Any ideas?

Google treats http://www.mysite.com and http://www.mysite.com/default.asp as a different page. As far as why PR is different I don't know. I've noticed sub directories having more PR then the homepage itself. Maybe you should wait for the next PR update.

There's a million reasons as to the PR issue. Server setup, links setup, Google being screwed up hehe.
