default.htm is what shows up when you go to www.mydomain.com/ and that page has a PR of 5.
All other page in my site however point to index.html as the "Home Page" (which is just a copy of default.htm). That index.html is showing up with a PR6. I've tried it several times and those numbers seem consistent on all DCs.
Is there some way I can combine (?) them i.e. perhaps redirect one to the other and take a chance on making it a PR7?
Not that PR matters anymore but it would be cool to see the lucky 7 showing up.
But what you're looking for is a 301 redirect. How, depends entirly on your server setup.

hehe 5+6 is at best 6.000001
If that's the case then it's really not worth the bother :-(
Why do you even have the default.htm page
Legacy stuff when we had to change hosts some years ago, they used a different title for the default home page, but we kept the old page because some people still linked to the old homepage by name. I know about the duplicate content penalty. Have a few pages with duplicate content. So far no penalty for several years (maybe because duplicate content is less than 0.01% of the site) so will get around to removing all (unintentional) duplicate content in due course.
