Is "/redchair.jpg.html" - okay as a URL

    Would having a url address with two dots in it influence search engines indexing my pages.

    eg. if the url page address was "/redchair.jpg.html"

    If you want Google to know it's an image, then i think "/red-chair-image.html" would make a difference compared to "/redchair.html".

    As for the two dots in the URL, i dont really understand what you're trying to do - convince it's an html page rather than a jpg or vice versa or as my first guess letting SE know it's an image?

    Thanks, fluid... im using mod_rewrite and php to open an image into a new html page, then make the Url friendly so instead of /image.php?=redchair.jpg

    would become /redchair.jpg.html

    but im not sure if Google would like my new friendly url /redchair.jpg.html because it has two dots in the address.

    Would Google even care, given that the page content isn't text?

    They can't do a keyword analysis and index on a jpeg image.

    Unless he wants the jpeg image to be indexed Sbabb.

    I wouldnt bother changing to mod_rewrite colling but these could help:

    1."/red-chair-image.html"
    2. <title>Red Chair Image</title>
    3. <img src="bla-bla-bla" alt="Red Chair" />
