We moved our site www.constructionjobsearch.co.uk on to a new platform
and server (therefore new IP address) on the 21st of August. Before
the move our home page had a PR of 4. We still seem to have that PR=4
(although does not show on Google toolbar) however our next level down
pages e.g. http://www.constructionjobsearch.co.uk/links.html used to
have a PR=4 but now has PR=0 and in fact all of our other pages have a
PR=0.

I was wondering if anybody had any ideas as to why this may have
happened? The pages are definitely all still indexed and the domain
remains the same as previously.

Thanks in advance

I see PR4 for the domain http://www.constructionjobsearch.co.uk/ but for
(http://www.constructionjobsearch.co.uk/index.html) I see PR0.

I don't see any PR for the inner pages. How long have you had the under
construction page up for? Google could have dropped the PR from the
inner pages (I guess) if there has been no links going there for some
time - though why they would still be cached I have no idea.

Hi Jez

Thanks for getting back to me. We only had the under Construction
page up for a day when we transferred the data. Not sure what you've
found!! The links are all the same as they were before we moved
platforms. So Google would only have seen no links for the page for
day it was down - otherwise all of the links point to the same domain
www.constructionjobsearch.co.uk. The only thing that has changed is
the IP of the server and the actual development platform from struts
to spring all still java though.

Budgie:

I am not sure if this will or not but it is worth a try. Even if
it does not work, you should always do this technique for any website.

When I type in http://www.constructionjobsearch.co.uk/ it
automatically goes to http://www.constructionjobsearch.co.uk/index.html.
Your website address should be persistent to http://www.constructionjobsearch.co.uk/.
If possible, change your DNS or web hosting settings to keep it from
doing that.

The second thing you must do is link all of your web pages to
http://www.constructionjobsearch.co.uk/ and not
http://www.constructionjobsearch.co.uk/index.html. The search engines
"see" http://www.constructionjobsearch.co.uk/index.html,
http://www.constructionjobsearch.co.uk/, http://constructionjobsearch.co.uk/index.html,
and http://constructionjobsearch.co.uk/ as entirely differently URLs.
Having one format and protocol will focus your website domain to
one format. Most directories already forced persons to write their
submission details as http://www.yourdomainname.co.uk/.

Having one consistent URL will also "influence" your visitors to link
to your website using http://www.constructionjobsearch.co.uk/ if they
happen to be on that web page. I hope this information was ful.

Hi Robert

Many thanks for this - yes very ful, changed the landing page back
to www.constructionjobsearch.co.uk so that's right now. Hopefully the
other pages will follow back over the next few days/weeks.

Cheers
