Let’s look at a question first: Why is the PR of www.discuz.net 8, while the PR of www.discuz.net/index.php is 6?
Yes, they call the same program, and of course they have the same content, but their URLs are different, so search engines will treat them as two pages with duplicate content, so there will be different PRs. This is actually problematic, namely duplicate web pages resulting from URL canonicalization issues.
For two pages with the same content, SE will choose the one with higher weight as the first choice, give it a high ranking, and display it in the search results, while the other one will have a low ranking or not be included. This process requires a certain amount of time to judge. There seems to be no problem with this, but it disperses the weight. Like the example above, the two pages have the same content. The external link usually links to the main domain name, but the internal link links to the index.php file. Although both have high PR, the same content scatters the links. Going to two URLs spreads the weight and is unnecessary.
discuz background: Tips for setting home page file name and unifying home page URL.
Unifying the homepage URL is very simple. Set the homepage file name in Global Site Information to the main domain name or home directory of the forum.
Taking discuz.net as an example, the forum homepage is http://www.discuz.net/, then the file name of this homepage is also set to http://www.discuz.net/. In this way, the link to the homepage within the site will be consistent with the external link.
