Hi Guys. I'm wanting my sites to look like this: www.domain.com/subpage instead of: www.domain.com/subpage.html My hosting is godaddy shared on windows so no apache. D: The only solution I found was to create a folder in the root directory called "subpage" and add subpage.html into it. I have to change the name of subpage.html to index.html Is there an easier way to fix this without a mod rewrite or this method? Also, is this bad for SEO? Thanks!
I think this would be a bad think for your webpage and SEO! or you use that folder "subpage" and inside put index.html = subpage.html!
make it a 301 redirect. just make sure when people redirect they go to the link you want them to go to, not the .html
there is an easy fix for this ALl you have to do is create folders in your root directory and name them whatever you want your page to be (ie. gallery) Then save your gallery page inside the gallery folder but name is index.html. This way it will display as yoursite.com/gallery no more .html
yesmate, that's not a bad idea but it DOES assume that there's already a redirect going on for index.html set up on the server. If it is, then yes that would work. But if not, then the OP still needs to set something up with godaddy.
Like you said, put it to domain.com/subpage and have subpage as index.html it can effect your SEO though, as your page site may not be scanned through if you have too many directories. Regards, Discuss-BB.org
Since most folks are doing this for all their images and their css files, rss files, etc, I would think the effect it minimal at worst.
This is the best option. And it can not affect your SEO. This is recommended for SEO. lol Use alot of <h1> <h2> <h3> tags btw .
