I have a php driven news site with content added daily.
The daily news is served dynamically from the front page, and is also catagorised and served from specific topic related pages within the site. every night a script runs that takes the news and creates a static html 'archived' pages, which are then available from the site map through a 'browse news by date' link. This has until recently worked very well in terms of people finding content that is related to the search.
after the last update the pr on all but the newest of the archived pages fell to 0.
a post from yesterday:
[webmasterworld.com...]
leads me to believe this may be related to the page that links to the archived html pages, but to drop from a pr5 to pr0 seems harsh.
questions:
1) could the punishment also be related to the fact that articles are duplicated (static and dynamic)? the dynamic news pages (with pr5) have different html structure to the static (pr0), but are essentially displaying identical information.
2) how should i go about rebuilding the pr? would using the no index tag on one set of pages do the trick? if this is a solution i would like to have the dynamic pages NOT indexed but then i run the risk of of having these pr5 pages dropped and maybe not regaining pr on the static page.
I hope this makes sense.
thanks
