Dear All,

I have put my single website on two different IDC one is reliance and second is VSNL. I have fix one device called radware which monitor web trafic and divert it toward respective IDC. If any one of the IDC goes down then it will redirect my complete traffic on second IDC. Now i have notice that, My PR goes down after implementing Radware device. because of that i have two different IP for single website. Pls. tell me how can i maintain my PR in such situtation.

Hello Vikramd, and welcome to the forums.

Google indexes by domain names, not by IP addresses. Many domains use load balancing and it does not affect their status on Google.

On September 27, PageRank data was updated on the toolbar. It might well be that what you noticed is only a coincidence in timing, and not cause-and-effect. For our discussion of the PageRank update, please see this thread [webmasterworld.com].

If there were a negative effect from your load balancing, you would see it in your traffic from Google and your rankings on various searches. If those did not change, you are doing fine. But if traffic did show a significant drop, then something about the load balancing is not technically correct.
