With your backlinks, how many of them are to your home page? I am assuming people are linking to your individual posts a lot more than to your home page. Which would explain why those pages have PR and your home page doesn't. Have you started guest posting? blogroll?

Theme has nothing to do with PR, as long as it is not a premium theme you got for free, which mean it has hidden links to irrelevant sites. As long as your theme is clean, it shouldn't affect PR either way.

I dont have a premium theme but im only pr 2 lol

I think for the most part, as long as the theme has clean code you should be ok. Also try not to change your theme too much. I think that's what caused Robert to go from pr 3 to 0 then back to 3.

Thanks to everyone for all the ideas... the 301 redirect is correct as far as the web address.... as for link juice to go to one address this is taken care of in the settings under the google webmaster tools... to identify the preferred domain (www or non-www). I think this is the answer.....

Thanks again for all the help and discussion! I'm still working on trying to get my site together to get a PR when google decides to update again....

Anyone have an opinion on premium themes, do you think these really help increase the chances of getting PR.... it seems that newer sites I see that have PR have a premium theme.

This can be a big problem for SEO purposes, but it sounds like you're all set. I think everyone figured this out, but you do want your site to direct to the same address no matter what you type in.

For WorldofFinance.biz, it always redirects to the "www" version even if you don't type in the "www," which is how it should be.

Just make sure it's a 301 redirect when you're redirecting anything. That's typically the default, but 302 redirects don't pass link juice. 301s pass 90-99%, according to SEOmoz tests.

I believe WordPress and/or Bluehost handles these www vs. non-www issues automatically (as Matt pointed out).

Feel free to email me if you have other SEO or website questions.

Corey, it's automatic with the primary domain on your Bluehost account, but you can change it in the "manage DNS settings" area, under the CNAME record. Not that you would want to change it. I try to stay away from that stuff - too advanced for me and it's a high possibility I'll screw something up.

For subdomains or parked domains the setting is in the redirect area, where you can choose whether you want the domain to redirect with or without the www.

@Matt, I also have bluehost - what setting are you referring to?

Wait, now I am confused. I had originally set up a permanent redirect from my non www to my www. I thought this was the best policy, but it sounds like it is not?? Merging your www and non-www is something different than setting up a redirect from one to the other?

From what I understand if it is not redirecting, Google sees it as two sites with duplicate content which usually is a no-no.

It's pretty confusing when PR is updated as you may have PR 2 for your www and 3 for your non-www.

You want all link juice to flow to one or the other and not have them split.

Good question. I have Bluehost and there's a setting in my control panel to have the www. and non-www. open the same site, but I don't know if that's good or bad for Google. You have me curious now.

I'm not sure what to do... I spoke with my host and they are saying it's set-up this way so that no matter what someones types before the .worldoffinance it will go to my site.... is this bad for google?

I'm not quite sure either. Godaddy does a good job of taking care of that for me. So maybe check with your registrar?

You should put together about 10 guest posts and in those posts, link to internal pages.

You can also participate in the blog swap, that is a great way to get incoming links.

Comments are good for building links but some comments are no followed and are usually not as strong as an incontent link.

The .biz might be hurting but I think that just means you will have to build more links than a .com

Make sure you are linking within also. Try using Automatic SEO links.

PR is really bad to rely on but unfortunately, it's the industry standard. I would focus on increasing Moz rank instead.

Merge your www and non www URL, it looks like both are being picked up.

And add a meta description and tags. Are you using All in one SEO?
