    Hi Guys,

    I am planning to roll out a new design for my site and add some new extra pages to the site. And I have a doubt in finalizing the url structure for my site.

    should i have.

    www.domain.com/services/programming/
    www.domain.com/services/web-design/

    or

    www.domain.com/services/programming.asp
    www.domain.com/services/web-design.asp

    Is there any advantage in going with file extensions. (.html, .php or .asp)
    I would like to have my URL Structure as foldered one. please give suggestions and reason for choosing one.

    All of his services are related by the fact that they are all services, so there is no reason not to put them under the same (virtual) directory.

    I would recommend:

    www .domain.com/programming-services.asp
    www .domain.com/web-design-services.asp

    It make the home page navigation larger but it tends to give better Page Rank
