    Hi Guys,

    Could you please let me know which is better

    subfolders or file names

    1-www.mysite.com/keyword.html
    2-www.mysite.com/keyword/

    number 2 is an index file "index.html" placed within a subdirectoy. i.e when mysite.com/keyword/index.html qyeried you will be redirected to mysite/keyword/ and you will not see the index.html extension.


    using subdirectory means images and other files within, this will make search bots work harder?? is that true??

    Please solve this mystery and put out of my misery and let me know which is better for SEO practices


    Thanks

    Ehh, What are you trying to say?

    Anyway, no, Google Does't care whether you use a subfolder or a single file.
