How redirect your domain to point to the one with the higher PageRank
After this round of PR update from Googles some bloggers found that their blogs has 2 different Page Ranks. One for the URL with the www prefix and another one without the www prefix. There is a way to redirect this so that everything points to the URL with the higher ranking. Lyndonmaxewell and Paris, these are the codes that I was talking about to solve your PR problem.
Create a .htaccess file with the below code, it will ensure that all requests coming in to domain.com will get redirected to www.domain.com and vice versa
I think most Wordpress Users already have a .htaccess file in their root directory which can be accessed via your cPanel. Just make the neccassary changes in Notepad then copy and paste it there. Be sure you don’t touch anything that is already in the file if there is any.
To redirect domain.com to www.domain.com. ( Please REPLACE domain.com and www.newdomain.com with your actual domain name.)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Vice Versa, to redirect www.domain.com to domain.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
