Suppose you have the domain mysite.com. Do inbound links to
www.mysite.com carry the same value as inbound links to mysite.com ?
(assume you have no subdomains).

"www" *is* a subdomain.

FWIW I think Google counts them seperately.

I have had a page <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.mydomain.com" target="_blank">www.mydomain.com</a> as PR5. Yet mydomain.com had PR0.

I do a redirect to one of them, so all links go there, for consistency as
much as anything else.

Of course their algorithm could have changed 5 minutes ago, so I don't get
a hang-up about it.

That still doesn't answer my question. I have some people linking to
"www.mysite.com" - should I ask them to link to "mysite.com" ?

Is the pagerank of mysite.com higher if the inbound link goes to
"mysite.com" instead of "www.mysite.com" ?

pagerank will be higher if they all link to the same page

A link to mysite.com will increase the pagerank of mysite.com.

A link to <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.mysite.com" target="_blank">www.mysite.com</a> will increase the pagerank of <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.mysite.com." target="_blank">www.mysite.com.</a>

A link to foo.mysite.com will increase the pagerank of foo.mysite.com.

A link to lala.mysite.com will increase the pagerank of lala.mysite.com.

Is that hard to understand?

That's fine. But what is Google actually indexing - mysite.com or
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.mysite.com" target="_blank">www.mysite.com</a> ?

Is the search engine smart enough to understand that the page at
mysite.com/page.html is the same as the page at
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.mysite.com/page.html?" target="_blank">www.mysite.com/page.html?</a> Or do you have to place a 301 redirect into
your .htaccess ?

Should I tell the people who are linking to mysite.com to please all
link to mysite.com (and not <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.mysite.com" target="_blank">www.mysite.com</a>) ?

A search engine which "understood" that would be a dumb search engine
because mysite.com/page.html and <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.mysite.com/page.html" target="_blank">www.mysite.com/page.html</a> aren't
necessarily the same page.

You don't need to, just redirect to the preferred one.

Are they the same? They might be. They might not.

Just like foo.mysite.com might be the same as lala.mysite.com. But they might
not.

They both have a value of 42.
