Hi,
I created urls in htaccess,
What's prefer, with .html or without?
domain.com/mp3,id.html or domain.com/mp3,id ?

Regards.

Prefer without extensions.

OK,
simple question, if I will keep both urls, what google will index?

Regards.

How are you planning on keeping both URLS?

If you are running mod_rewrite (changing the url to ignore the extension) then google will index that.

If I do something like that :
RewriteRule ^mp3,(.*).html?$ aaa.php?id=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^mp3,(.*)?$ aa.php?id=$1 [L]

Then you can use with .html and without.

^^ But google will only index the content which has been linked on other pages.
I pref one with .html for threads/posts and without any extension for categories/forums

It's not forum/blog,
So I choose to go without the extension.
