i know folder files get less pr distribution but i was wondering if this is good or bad
ex. free vegas casino games
so it would be:
site.com/free-vegas-casino-games/free-vegas-casino-games.html
or
site.com/free-vegas-casino-games.html
do they rank better than other options out there?
July 22, 2007 at 9:46 am #743224AnonymousInactivePersonally I would use site.com/free-vegas-casino-games.html but I’ve never heard of folder files getting less PR distribution. Is this correct?
July 22, 2007 at 12:47 pm #743231AnonymousInactiveShould be site.com/free-vegas-casino-games.html .
SE’ are not giving too much relevance to these url/keywords nowadays.
Just look for the first 20 for this/other keyword phrase.
Just a game of content, title, links and aging.July 22, 2007 at 6:25 pm #743273AnonymousInactive@casinotime 132044 wrote:

Hi all,
Some link exchanges and especially social bookmarks limit the number of characters in an URL. This is where the problem will arise.
Cheers,

July 23, 2007 at 9:53 am #743316AnonymousInactiveAs you can probably see in search results keywords in URL’s are marked, meaning they are indexed and as the first thing SE’s see is the URL I would imagine they do have relevance.
On the other hand there are soooo many other factors in the equation this is probably not a very big deal.One thing that is a personal “hunch”, I would imagine SE frown upon things like this. site.com/video-poker/video-poker-guide/video-poker.html
I would call this keyword spamming, on the other hand something like:
site.com/blackjack/blackjack-rules.html is probably ok. Just an intuition.Ory
July 23, 2007 at 2:46 pm #743332neophyteMemberi avoid extensioned files like the plague personally..
site.com/pagename/ does the job nicely (if you have an index.html or whatever in the appropriate directory) . any filename is superflous imo- and linking to directory names means less 301 jiggerypokery if you have to move from asp->php->jsp or whatever…
July 23, 2007 at 2:57 pm #743333AnonymousInactiveHey,
You are right, we try not to use extensions at all, much more user friendly and tends to be easier on the SE’s.

Spot on from Alex. Site.com/directory/ where the directory is optimized and entitled to reflect the content within AND uses keywords.
Then just use the default document to serve it up or use mod_rewrite in .htaccess to rename.
Good point about the switch from server scripts BUT my friend, you can do that very easily by adding a mime type and telling it to process it with the correct application:
e.g. application/x-httpd-php to process all .php files can also be told to process .asp. abc .xxx .anything files.
July 23, 2007 at 5:51 pm #743347neophyteMember*nods* to all of the above.
July 24, 2007 at 8:34 am #743413AnonymousInactivethanks all!
Mine had not been indexed so I decided to go ahead and move them out of folders to root directory…. so… keyword-domain.com/keyword-names.htmlShall see what happens… now ill optimize each page further for those keywords…
July 24, 2007 at 3:39 pm #743449PatrickMMemberGood luck :hattip:
