Hello,
Right now all of the urls get the same priority. Is there a way to change the line in the CommonSiteMapProvider file so that I could manually code the Default.aspx page to a fixed pririotiy, such as 1.0?
siteMapItems.Add(new SiteMapUrl(GetAbsoluteUrl("~/Default.aspx"), options.DefaultChangeFrequency, options.DefaultUrlPriority));
Separate issue, but I really don't know what is happening... When I was first made aware of Google's PageRank'ing I was running an old perl cgi shopping cart. My homepage pagerank was 4. I switched to AC 5.5 several years ago and it dropped to 3. I just upgraded to 7.0.3 and now I noticed today I was dropped to a 2.
For a company that has been online for 11 years and has backlinks all over the place I just understand why I am dropping. Thank you.

Re: CommonSiteMapProvider
As far as I understand PageRank, it's all about the links and does not have much to do with content. I think Google is trying to deemphasize PageRank.

Re: CommonSiteMapProvider
Oh yes, I had just read a similar article a couple of days ago. That is great news... I believe I found out what went wrong. I just don't know how it could have happened.
I was running 7.0.0 on live server with over 2,500 site pages indexed on Google.
Developed 7.0.3 on new, better server so that when it was ready I could just make the DNS switch. (same domain name)
I made the switch around October 20th or so... It seemed to be a flawless transfer. When I saw the drop in PR to 2 I did a
site:www.mydomainname.com test on Google and for some reason it looks like almost every single page was dropped and they started crawling all over. I am only at 292 pages right now. The good news is the pages that Google have indexed are ranking very well under the keywords the products should be found under. I am using the special code put into the CustomBasePage file and have assigned that file to all of the pages as well.
The only thing I haven't been able to implement is that "canonical" code into the PageHelper.cs file because I have some custom code in there for meta data and when I try adding the code from the forums I break the page because I don't know what I'm doing. Judy, are you around to help me with that? Pleeeeease?
