Julinho,

There were about 400 and originally all showed in Google if I did a search site:www.domain.com index.php (note the space). Since altering them the number showed by Google has steadily reduced, and now there are none listed.

I think if you do not update the index page, Google will eventually notice the caches of the pages are the same and merge them (perhaps). But if you update your index page regularly as I do, the caches will always be out of step.

So I expect after the next PR/toolbar updates, there will still be an entry for www.domain.com/index.php. But all the PR that it used to have will have gone to www.domain.com/ and show up there in the toolbar - I hope! :)

I think that's quite important, because if you ask someone to link to you they are likely to check your site and they will automatically see the PR on www.domain.com. If it's low they may not be inclined to link. Currently all my internal pages are either PR5 or PR4, but the domain only shows PR3 when it should be at least PR5.
