Search engine friendly URL

Which of the following URLs are better for seo :

http://www.galaxyweblinks.com/website-design.html

OR

http://www.galaxyweblinks.com/website-design/

?

 

I believe the directory (2nd) format is preferred. It's shorter, neater and gives you more scope to expand the site too.

 

It doesn't matter.

But directory structure is better should you choose to change the language of your pages, moving hosts etc.

 

Yes, it doesn't matters. But it matters for visitors who come to your site.
