SEO urls

A quick SEO question about URLs. I know search engines like sites with static urls and if you go with dynamic ones your shooting yourself in the foot etc...

But what i was wondering is would this effectively be treated the same as this

yourdomain.com/Some-Content-About-Something.html
yourdomain.com/Some-Content-About-Something.php

The page php urls are static with no parsing of variables and contain the same file names as the one with the .html extension. Would a search engine (i.e. Google) treat it in the same mannor?

 

I guess it will treat both of them equally.

 

i would choose the html ones. i believe all search engines prefer these.

 

They are given the same treatment in the eyes of search engines. The bots view your page from the client side. Therefore, they see the same thing in these two pages.

 

.html and .php are treated the same.

 

There will be no differences. Only on page content counts.

 

the important factor is to keep a long url with a "?" ( question mark ) out of the dynamic equation...that is what g claims to impede crawling

 

Personally, I prefer ".php" suffix, use it and don't see any negative effects.

 

The file extension does not affect your rankings in any way. After all, no matter what server side programming language you use, and what extension you choose to use with it, they all just spit out HTML in the end. That's all a web browser will see and that all a search engine will see.

 

They are both treated the same. The only type of SEO's urls that provide any benefit are those that include keywords in the url.

 

I suppose since most servers allow for php code to be executed in html files anyways you can just call them .html. Just handy to know that it doesn't matter that the extension is for when you want/need to use .php

 

Hi!

I use .html

Best,

I too think both are one and the same. But I'm using .html. Why take a risk

 

That's simply not true and hasn't been for a long time now:

Google Facts & Fiction

Google and Dynamic Pages

Does Google index dynamic pages?

Update to Google and dynamic pages

 

google bot prefer html page then php if you make html filie google bot can get it easy

 

As a general statement, that is simply not true.

Which web page elements lead to high Google rankings?

 

I think they are treated the same. But I would choose just one and use it primarily.

 

I think also they are the same. As long as they are both working and the web browser recognize them, there is no question.

 

As said by Minstrel, just use SEO urls in order to ensure your urls that are dynami are nicely SEO'd. Other than that, just go with what you feel is necessary, the search engines don't pay attention to the myth of dynamic impedence of SEO.
