Strange thing about PR

same page, different PR

[Patricio]

Hi all, this is my first post. Thanks for all the tips for google indexing, they were quite useful.

Something curious is happening with my homepage:

[mysite.com...] has a PR of 4
but
[mysite.com...] has a PR of 3

but it is the same page! Does Google see it as two different pages?

By the way, it's a PHP-NUKE site, and last month used the rewrite skills of Apache, to show articles as .html and passed from 32 pages indexed to more than 300.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, Patricio.

/ and /index.php are different URLs. It's just a convention that servers often use the "index.php" file as the index page. If the page changes between Googlebot visiting the two URLs, then they won't be merged as duplicates.

I'm glad that your mod_rewrite approach is a success.

I see. Thanks for your answer, ciml.
