: Does .html extension in URL help for SEO? I am working on dotNET and I have changed URL extension from .aspx to .html. Is it good to use .html extension ? My actual URL is www.example.com/Project.aspx?Id=2&Type=this-is

This one is easy. Option 2. What? You want more? Okay. If you insist!

In your first example, and outside of the domain name, the only thing that would really count for keywords in that URL/URI is the parameter (after the &).

In your second example, the entire URL/URI counts for keywords. It is more effective/efficient.

However, using parameters can be just as effective/efficient. My site uses a single one character parameter which is an alias that returns a page. No, as in your example, Project.aspx. Just a single parameter and that works just peachy keen. It is not a folders verses parameters thing where one is better than the other. That was an argument like a thousand years ago that no longer applies as search engine spiders began to parse URL/URI(s) more effectively. It is the URL/URI combination and how cleanly does it present your keywords and page topics. This can be evaluated by simply looking at the URL/URI. Is it more sentence than cryptic?
