Why does that happen?

Because google is "seeing" two different websites. This is supposedly a bad thing in terms of a duplicate penalty from google.

Make sure that ALL incoming links point to one version of your site...either the www or the non-www. This is very important, otherwise you're "sharing" your PR between the two versions of your site...thus halving your effective PR per version. Make sense?

You can add something to your .htaccess to correct this with a 301 from one version of your site to the other. Probably a good idea to do.

This is pretty easily done, before the PR update the webmaster does a 301 redirect to another site with high PR. Google then sees the redirect and credits the redirected page with the PR it's redirecting to. After the PR update the webmaster takes off the redirect and puts up their own content.

Google 'Fake PR' or 'fake pagerank' and you'll turn up lots of article on the subject.

Exchanging links with a faked page will only benefit you with the 'real' PR and nor the faked one.

It might be naive of me, but I'm finding it hard to believe that Jay or his people would do this deliberately.

Altho, admittedly, if it wasn't Jay I would assume that someone had deliberately done the redirect trick on that domain.

Why do I not believe this was done deliberately? because everyone knows about this trick now, everyone understands it's consequences, therefore there would be no real benefit from doing it. (despite Jay's "who wants to trade" line - the only practical point of such a gimmick would be to try to fool people into paying for links.)

I can imagine someone doing it just to see if the redirect trick was still fooling google, months after they claimed this was no longer a problem.

But, why you would do it on a working domain? Why wouldn't you pick a new junk domain? I know Jay has had this domain up for years.
