Hello,
I would like to hide extensions for my urls just like this website:
jaycutler.com/contact
I read that I should use something like this in the htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html
Now I got a question regarding google and SEO
As for now, google shows on google search resaults my site urls with .html extension, for example domain.com/contact.html
As mentioned above I would like to use domain.com/contact and hide the extention in my url and search results.
If I do so how will that affect SEO and how will google show my site urls in the search results pages?
Will I lose all the SEO jouice from my old backlinks pointing to me? Do I need to use some kind of 301 redirect?
My site is 1 year old now and is already ranking pretty well for my nich and targeted keywords, I would hate to see a drop.
Please help me,
Thanks!
