Does file extension affect search engine results?

Hi,


Do file extension affect search engine results? All my pages are .php and some of the urls are like: index.php?page=home&content=pub

Should these be .html or mod_rewrite?

Thanks

 

google like, .html , .htm,

also, .php is fine too, but the best is .html

I suggest u don't worry about extensions, as its affect is low.

concentrate on link building

 

Static URLs are better than Dynamic URLs, use mod_rewrite to alter your dynamically created URLs.

 

thats right.. but it also depends on the optimization...

 

Use mod rewrite. From what I have learned google likes .htm, .html, .php more than index.php?page=home&content=pub....even if you could make it like test.com/home/content/page1..page2..etc

 

I am agree with you. If we concentrate on the good linking of site, then i don't think it matters which extension are you using. In SEO on page and off page optimization play a big role.

 

use mode rewrite and use .html page.

 

I use use the custom permalinks on wordpress to put a .html on the end of all of my urls. It's really easy. I did it not with the idea that it would help me in the SERPS, but that it would look more static to people visiting. It does certainly separate your sites from others out there.

 

Ya u are right. if you want more information than use his link:
