    I am making a wallpapers site with html.

    a sample page > http://sahil.medhekar.googlepages.com/content.html

    Note: The above page is text version of the wallpaper site. is incomplete [Linking is not done in that page.]

    Is it SE Friendly?

    Advice please. i am an adsense and SEO Idiot i.e. beginner so i dont know much bout this.

    That page is far to be seo friendly.
    Missing content, missing structure <h1> <h2> <p> etc.
    Missing title, missing meta tags, layout made with tables, and there are coding errors all over the place.

    I don't think you're allowed to put AdSense on googlepages.com... that's what I've heard!

    Pur HTML pages are damn SEO friendly.
    When complex coding is avoided, SE bots find it easy 2 crawl.

    HTML are the most SEO friendly pages that you can find
    but make sure that you put at least a title on your page, you can avoid meta tags search engines are not smart enouft to ignore meta tagas

    but title is very important

    wow! Such a definitive statement.
    Tell me 5 reasons why .html is the best.

    Only pages in flash have some SEO problems.
    I can write a great php page and make same page in pure html: after I mod-rewrite the .php to .html I dare you to spot which is which.

    A pure html page, with a bad structure, bad layout, iframes, is not more seo friendly than a nicely done asp page.

    just my 2 cents.

    HTML clean coded pages will own any CMS you can throw at it. Read google's webmaster guidelines to know more :D

    What is the problem with making the layout with tables? Surely Google will not mind if you do so? How else would you do the layout, CSS?

    Sure! Give me a pure html something that I can use in place of vBulletin.
    phpBB3 is Xhtml 1.0 Strict valid why it should be worse than a pure html page?

    Tables are made for tabular data.
    Imho, layout are made with css and divs, but again someone can think that frontpage is the best editor in the world.

    If you have static html pages or dynamic pages,

    both are treated by same in search,

    the one who does not agree with me, just bit the ranking of ebay, is it static website?
    amazon is static?
    Even DP is Static?

    and many more shopping cart and forums, are static?

    No...

    than why they are doing better?

    A PHP (or ASP) page can be a pure HTML page. PHP generates the HTML. If the PHP doesn't generate any Javascript or Flash, or references to same, then it's HTML.
