If Home page and INDEX page are same thing how can they... - 7/23/2006 7:10:20
this really confuses me because I thought the home page and the index page were one and the same, but if you look here you will see the home page URL 
http://www.artemusbyserjame.com has a PR 5 but
http://www.artemusbyserjame.com/index.html has PR 0
can anyone please explain what goes on here
thankyou

I changed the title on this posting because I thought maybe people were not understanding what the issue was.

Kev,
I'm sure anyone who read your first post on this issue will be subscribed to that thread if they didn't know the answer or they're just interested. There's really no need to re-post the same question in case anyone may have missed the first one!
As this is also an SEO issue, you may like to consider posting a message on the SEO forum with a link back to this thread if need be, or perhaps an understanding of where to post such a thread in the first instance may have been a good idea?

It comes down to links in this scenario.
Are internal and external links that point to your index.htm page state index or just .com/? From what you posted it all points to .com. If so it makes sense that PR is pointing to the .com. If every link pointed to index.htm then that would have the page rank.
Regardless, to answer the second question, they are the same page (In your scenario).
This also is why I try to promote deep level pages......PR. Make the most relevant page or your main sales page rank the best. Mix your external links to your site up.
Take care,
Brian

to Nichole
sorry if that was the wrong protocol
to Brian thanks for the advice.
Would it be possible to do a redirect from the index page to the dot.com page?

Megabuff's new question:
How can domain.com & domain.com index have different PR?

Also by linking to the .com\ if the index.html page changes to say index.asp for whatever reason you do not have to worry about links pointing to it.
Take care,
Brian

For every web directory, there are (usually) two files that the web server will look for and declare as the "home page"
So, you can have a
www.example.com/default.htm file
and an
www.example.com/index.htm file.
Which one is displayed depends on your server's ordering.
To check this, open IIS >Web Sites > Your_Site_Name >Right Click "Properties" > Documents Tab
Then look at the list of files in the box. The order they appear, is the order your server looks for default files.
Example: if your list looks like :default.htm, index.htm, default.asp then your server will use those documents first as the "home page". It will use the first one on the list, and when it can't find it, it moves to the second one, and so on.
If it finds the first one, it will ignore all the others.

It is run by MS servers, it is like apache for Linux. It is the web server portion of the MS server.
IIS:
Internet Information Server
Take care,
Brian
