Update:
About 10 weeks after 301 redirect
PR is back to 4 on most pages, not bad for my cheezy little site.
Search results and sales were quite decent during that time, and
is only a little better now.
Thanks, couldn't have done it without your help.

I found out how to access and edit the

%2Fpublic_html%2F.htaccess

I saw the tutorals, but I'm not too quick on this.
What I tried didn't work
Need someone to write the exact code to insert.
I think it's one or two lines.

USE IT

The 301 directive is quite powerful. You can redirect not just single files but entire sites, e.g.

redirect 301 / http://www.you.com/

The first "/" indicates that everything from the top level of the site down should be redirected.

After the redirect, another think to check:

Any non-www image url's in froogle data upload
would result in no displayed image for that product, but
images displayed for the www form products.

A member of our forum pointed me to this code which works with subdirectories and subdomains. The only problem is it doesn't work with addon domains.

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.rackchat\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.rackchat.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

Hope this helps
