not true groovico. You can see instances often where google (almost 90% of searches currently are done on google) will rank a site highly for a particular keyword or keyword phrase where the only occurrence of that keyword is in the filename or subdomain. http://webhosting.yahoo.com (comes up #2 for 'webhosting' in google) is a good example. http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting is another. Remember webhosting is different from "web hosting." |
Site title always outranks anything on the file name itself, I've seen an increasing trend with google choosing to list the product.php page over the catalog generated page with the x-cart sites we work on.
Googles spidering more dynamic content than ever now, problem with x-cart using the product title is in some cases the title is very long creating a file like "product_123_really_nice_computer_case_half_price. html". Googles changing all the time, not seen much information on how the longer file names are treated.
