Gooruze - Falling Pagerank


	questions and answers » Falling Pagerank
	Falling Pagerank Woods I noticed the google pagerank of a site I am working fell from a 5 to a 4 overnight. I haven't done any significant work on the site other than update content and update the title tags to include keywords. What's wierd is that while I have been doing this, I have seen a rise in traffic over the last two months. Is it something I am doing that is causing the pageranking to drop or is this just result of possibly losing some links? Know a little? Give an answer Know a lot? Write an article Report

	Re: Falling Pagerank Woods Vote: Yesterday 7am I would like to answer my own question - sort of. My pagerank did not actually fall from a 5 to 4. I was actually looking at www.myhomepage.com/index.cfm. Which, with the extra "/index.cmf" the pagerank was a 4. Thus, would it be smart for me to get rid of the link I clicked that redirected me to my homepage with the extra "/index.cmf"? Also shouldn't I 301 redirect all of me default homepages to point to my domain using the syntax "http://www.myhomepage.com"? Reply Report
