    Hi

    What if I use a index.html and redirect to page.hml file. Is it good for seo?

    thanks

    If index.html will no longer exist ... YES, but redirecting to just directory/ would probably be better, and more consistentwith inbound links, if page.hml is just going to be the new directories default page.

    Have a read of SEO advice: url canonicalization in Matt Cutts blog
    http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/seo-advice-url-canonicalization/

    It should help

    If you rename the page.html to index.html and put it under a drectory like /page and redirect the index.html in the root to /page it would be nice for SEO. Redirecting to a directory or subdomain instead of a page url is better
