    Page rank

    So strange...

    I checked the page rank of my forum here: http://www.checkpagerank.com/
    If I put .../forum I get page rank 5
    If I put .../forum/index.php I get page rank 3

    So what is my page rank?

    Ignore it, those pagerank numbers are next to useless.

    It is better to have your site spider/index than rank.

    that site is off... goto www.alexa.com put your url in, and you will see a current ranking that should be up to date
    How did our site grow so fast? We gave the first 200 members a FREE T-SHIRT when they hit 500 post...

    Alexa rankings are anything but accurate unless you are looking for sites in the very, very top spots.

    Your page rank is both. Google has no idea that /forum/ and /forum/index.php are the same page thus it builds a ranking for both. If you want to maximize your pagerank try changing all of your links from /forum/index.php to just /forum/.
