does this indicate a google ban? (https)

pagerank shows zero for page, but 4 for https

[mactac]

So I have a site www.mysite.com

http://www.example.com/somepage.html has a Pagerank of Zero

[example...] has a pagerank of 4

Is this an indication that the http page has been penalized, or somply that google is 'guessing' at the PR for the https page?

Is there any way to tell of the google PR is a "guess"?

The page is about 4 months old, and SHOULD have a pagerank better than zero (it's linked to from the hompage with a PR of 6)

thanks!

A Google ban, nope, just one messed up server configuration.

The https:// protocol should not resolve for the same content that the http:// protocol does. If it does, that's one recipe for duplicate url troubles [webmasterworld.com]. What I commonly recommend to clients is that the secure certificate should be installed on a dedicated subdomain, such as secure.example.com. That really limits the potential for accidents.

Read all the recent threads about "duplicate content" and "supplemental results" and "301 redirects" to get up to speed on this issue.

There was also a long thread, just a month or two ago, about http vs. https results appearing in the index.
