About google page rank and mod rewrite. Question.

[Darth Pincho]

Hi in the past i had run midex mod rewrite. Now im using advanced mod rewrite with zerodupe mod.

In the past. The url: http://www.tupincho.net/foro/ was PR 2
Now i redirect that to: http://www.tupincho.net/foro/index.html but this new page have PR 0.

This will affect the rank of my results in google searches?
My old forum index page rank will be trasfered to the new URL due to the 301 redirection in .htaccess?
Wich benefits have this?

Thanks

It's mainly up to you to choose between the two possible url with 0.2.2.

If you go for index.html, and the same goes with all the url that have changed, you will not have any PR at first as these are new urls.
The SERP should remain the same, and PR updated after the next DC update.
It's not like starting again from scratch, as bots will understand the HTTP 301 meaning, but PageRank needs to be updated.
