NOF puts pages in subfolder?

[moonrock]

I have a guy helping me with search engine placement. He has written me this:

all the pages are not first tier in the site...they are in a sub folder /html/page name we need them just /page name

Isn't this just the way NOF does it? If he messes around with that, then will my NOF recognize those pages? or just overwrite what he has done the next time I do an upload?

Is he even making any sense?

As far as the search engines go, they could care less if there is a folder
in the path.

They hunt for content and map the path to the content via the URL.

The only reason anyone might ever want pages in the root folder would be
for the "human" factor of being able to tell someone to go to a URL like:

www.website.com/products

to get to a product.html page.


NOF **can** publish pages this way if you change the publish type from "By
Asset" to "Flat".

Just be aware that this will put ALL your files in the root folder and some
hosts (such as GoDaddy) may complain if there are too many.

Does that help?
