Your Web site’s Page Rank Rating PR
Have you ever wondered why you have different PR rankings when you reach your website (or any website for that matter) by adding the WWW (dot) in front of the domain name compared to not adding the WWW (dot) in front of your domain name? This same topic was discussed at a blog site called, TechBuzz. However, in this post, a MAJOR aspect has been overlooked…. which in my opinion is actually the leading cause for your site’s PR to be different.
It’s you…. and it’s other people…. and how everyone including yourself refer to your site. If you add your link into 100 different blog sites without the www in front of the domain name, then yes http:yourname.com will be way more higher than http://www.yourname.com. From what I know…. WWW.yourname.com is not much different than any other SUB-DOMAIN name… such as http://Garry.BlogTheInternet.com or Sport.Espn.com or Games.Yahoo.com…. do you see what I am saying. Here is another example… free hosting companies… such as Geocities, Angle Fire, Homestead… etc… some of these companies allow your website address to be: WWW.FreeHostingCompany.com/UserName…. others allow UserName.FreeHostingCompany.com… and 9 out of 10 times… actually more than that…. WWW.FreeHostingCompany.com is more popular than UserName.FreeHostingCompany….
Point is: It doesn’t matter if you use WWW or not… its how you market your site, its how others access your site, etc… if you and people use WWW in front of the domain name and access it using the WWW in front of the domain name, then yes! WWW.YourName.com will have a higher PR than without it…. visa versa…
There is no Flaw in the PR system other than its real flaws (not getting into that in this post), there is no code you need to add to your .htaccess file… you just need to choose which URL you want and run with it…….. or you can be extremely anal about it and balance it out using PR Analysis tools.
Bottom line is this… it doesn’t really matter if you use WWW in front of your domain or not… If you do, then that PR will be higher, if you don’t then PR without it will be higher… if you balance it out… 50 blogs sites linking back with WWW and 50 blog sites without…. then whatever… it might be more balanced… that all depends also on the PR of the site linking to your site… and it goes on and on….
Additionally, I would say… Don’t Over Complicate Things!
Publish unique, helpful, and interesting content….. promote it in the million and one ways that are available…. and people will come…. if the address is BITEMYASS.YourName.com then you might have more issues with the search engines than if you chose Projects.YourName.com or WWW.YourName.com… other than choice of words… sub domain or just domain.. it doesn’t matter….
If you do own a domain name… do register if for 5 years or more…. do not cuss, do not post porn, and other crap like that…. don’t be a spam and link pool to irrelevant sites…. if all that is good… then you are good with Google and others…. then it’s up to the visitor… are they interested… do they come back, do they add your link everywhere… do they subscribe to your feed…. etc…
A search engine gives you unique visitors… its up to you to make them repeat visitors. People don’t care if its WWW or not…
Again.. just my thoughts.

Search engines depriciate the use of WWW, so even if you have more backlink, You will get low PR.
byusing modrewrite (301 redirec will see it as one single domain. So your Page Rank won’t split up

[...] That does help if you only use one and not both. Blog the Internet says you can eradicate the problem by how you market your website. I would tend to agree. I am not a big fan of the WWW, it’s pretty much wasted keystrokes for me so I have completely marketed this blog without it. If you take a look at all the pages Google has indexed for me, all of them are without the http://WWW. So far it’s working for me, but since my blog is new I don’t have a PageRank yet but I would be willing to bet that when I do ryanslife.net with the WWW will have a very low PR. [...]

Even though PR is such a popular thing right now, and even though I don’t really buy into the whole PageRank program, I still provide articles and support for it. Thilak, PR doesn’t really matter all that much to me to justify installing yet another plug in for wordpress. PR doesn’t accurately represent how popular BTI is… And at times, it reports BTI being more popular that what it really is. People visit this site, don’t get me wrong… but BTI showing PR5 is just stupid. Tech-buzz.net showing a PR5 is just as stupid. How can any site that receives anything less than 10,000 unique visits per day be considered a PR5 site. The whole program is misleading… People now sit in front of their computers, and focus nothing more than back links and ripping off already published articles and placing them on your site. I am not into that… So if BTI has a PageRank of 2 or a PageRank of 7, it hold little to no value with me.
