Sub-Page Extensions

dalster44 asked 3 years ago
Do search engines prefer certain extensions? For example:

Is any one way better than the other?

1. Name them .html
2. Name them .htm
3. Put the page in a folder with an index page (.htm or .html)

Does it really make any difference?

So if folders are not a good idea, is anyone using an alternative method to categorize or perhaps group their pages? As a site grows and more pages are added, I can see this getting a little out of hand with 100+ pages.

exacty as you stated, a new folder reduces pr with 1 point, but you can use a keyword in the foldername

for me its a fact for over years

Hello,

We used many folders in out BG site xxhttp://www.onlinegammon.ws with the approach that we would like the URL of each sub page to have the “topic keyword”. Althought sun folder pages got lower PR (4 while the level 0 pages are 5) we get good traffic to the sub pages from google / MSN.

Anyone know an article about this folder thing ? On the topic of successfull sites such as pokerlistings, I have noticed that xxhttp://www.launchpoker.com uses many folder and is very successfull. Any thoughts?

Pokerlistings doesn’t use any extension at all on their subpages. I figure any site that is that successful knows what they are doing, and it might be a good idea to follow suit. Not that the other extensions are detrimental or anything. Just a thought.

I agree that .htm or .html make no difference, however the folder may hinder seo.
