pagerank 4 to 0

Posted: Sun Apr 29, 2007 8:29 pm

Just a few days ago, I moved host. No big big changes, but now my www. is 0 PR.

Anyone got an idea? I have not been abusing google that I know of.

Without my www. I still have pr of 4, but as we all know to google its totally different.

If you search www.clan-themes.co.uk you will find 0 backlinks in google.

So confused.

Odd thing is, a search in google for clan themes brings up the old host. Be Back Shortly, this leads me to believe its a dns error.

I need a dns record guru? Anyone wanna pm me for more details?

Edit I guess I can ask here, my DNS type A record that points to my server ip is just clan-themes.co.uk. Should that be www. instead of being a CNAME record?

I've also seen some strangeness with pagerank recently. My browser extension shows zero on several sites, but other methods show different results. I think hitwalker hit it on the head - it's temporary.

floppydrivez, your change might be related to a server change, but it should come back (and the search engines will find the new server) soon.

Thanks for the feedback. Its driving me crazy. I guess time will tell how it works out.

Hitwalker your PR ist still 5 and clan-themes is 4. I changed my browser extension because the old one shows always zero.
To define a standard domain name (means always with www or choose no www) in your htaccess that´s better for your future PR. Smile

Susann, how do you define your domain name in your .htaccess? ...or am I misunderstanding what you are saying?

You can do the same thing with the force Nuke URL setting in NukeSentinel.

kguske, very true. Just for the sake of knowing. I would like to know how to do it through .htaccess if anyone has it handy.

jakec you understood it correctly.Try this its without www:

Quote:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mysite\.de$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://mysite.de/$1 [R=301,L]

after you added this to your .htaccess it should work. Call your site with www and check out what you get. Smile

I´ve never used NukeSentinel for this. My blog doesn´t have such a feature.

Pagerank is back. No real way to tell if google was in the wrong or my dns setting but, I added www. to my A NAME dns record and removed the www. CNAME record.
