i had the same problem, not sure whats up

Hey there,

I do not know all the details, but I think I know enough to say a few things.

First, you have to be careful how you are doing SEO for your website.

For instance, let's say the following is your website:

http://www.myDomain.com

Now, let's say there are two different main pages:

http://www.myDomain.com/index.html
http://www.myDomain.com/index.php

When you do SEO for your website, you should be linking with just the domain name without the index.html or index.php.

However, if you have been linking with index.html in the link and want to convert your website to use index.php, what can you do?

For starters, you need a 301 redirect. This is the only redirect that google recognizes that transfers PR to a new page or website.

Now, let me have a few words about dynamic variables.

Let's say you have the following

1. http://www.myDomain.com/index.php?category=24
2. http://www.myDomain.com/index.php?categ ... ategory=53

Even though PR may be different in google's toolbar, google's alogrithm has advanced far enough now that it recognizes these strings are dynamic. Pagerank will be the same throughout the index.php page. It is not split among different dynamic URLs as it was in the past. I would not worry about this. It will probably update during the next google PR update - whenever that may be.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
