Ok page rank guru's

Sort by date Sort by votes
Certainly no guri, but I'll give it a go...

the url of / and of /index.jsp are two different enitites.

Most of your internal links point to /index.jsp?[querystring].

Your internal link structure explains why you are seeing that distribution of page rank.

This is interesting. Logically this could be explained if you had more backlinks to

http://www.webit.net/index.jsp than http://www.webit.net

A quick check on Google suggests that this isn't the case. Now it could be you have tons of backlinks to http://www.webit.net/index.jsp, but these are of low Pagerank so Google doesn't show them (it's been known to do this).

In general, the answer is as far as Google is concerned the links

http://www.webit.net
http://www.webit.net/index.jsp
http://webit.net

are all different links and treat as different "pages". It's therefore possible that PR figures on each link can differ.

As a suggestion, you may be able to benefit from this by URL rewriting. Send visitors browsers to the higher PR page and voila, you jump up to PR4.

Enigma is right, adding that relevance is also important. More relevant sites/links pointing to the /index.jsp page mean a higher PR.
One of my customers has a PR6 where I have a PR5. His site has less inbound links to him than me, but he has more relevant inbound links.

Webit Ive found that Google is working in strange ways for me as well. My internal pages in general are 4's and my main page a 3 even though when I link with other sites its alway my front page url given!

If you go to the site and click any link on the menu, and then click the home link, you'll end up at index.html.

To change it you'll need to edit your html files. It's not a big deal - only a five minute job if you know what you are doing. PM me your FTP details if you don't know how to do it yourself and I'll gladly take care of it.

Sorry I was talking about the mumszone one, for some reason the front page isnt ranked as high as most of the others even though I always link directly to the main url.
