Quick Q about shtml
I need to convert all html pages on my site to shtml. I'm assuming search engines will look at these pages no differently but I just wanted to make sure.

So do search engines treat these 2 file types the same?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Goalie,
Yes .shtml files are treated exactly the same as .html files, and also .htm files for that matter.
Before using php, I used to use shtml a lot and had great success with it.

Do note though that changing from .html to .shtml will not automatically assign your existing pr to the new page.
You'll have to do a 301 redirect in order to pass on your pr to the new .shtml pages.
Just thought id mention that incase you hadnt thought of it.

I have shtml files on several sites and they are doing great - even with the current shuffle in google. These sites also do great at yahoo and msn.
