    Well,

    I have a site that is buit on php without any databse. Php was chosen because of ease of implementing navigation, ads, metatags and more importantly simplicity.

    Now reading a lot Dp threads i'm confused to have an html extension or php extension. I had asked a similar question a while ago, and got answers that php will be parsed by SEs. The question now is do we have any great advantage in SEO purposes on using html extensions ? ( atleast a 5% improvement ? )

    Currently the site is php and now i use a simple rewrite rule to convert them html.

    RewriteRule ^([a-z]*)\.html$ $1.php
    Code (markup):
    But the problem is SEs still have access to php pages and they might think as duplicate contents.

    Can anyone suggest some ideas ?

    Best Regards,
    Tuning :)

    If all the links are to the .html pages... then without links to the .php pages, how will they find them? And even if they find one, all the links on it will be to .html pages, right?

    Yeah, but I have already submitted one page to many directories. Thus that page will be still accessible and the pages that indexed in google will also be accessible.
