Jun 9	comment	The right way of using index.html As far as I know, search engines (at least Google) DO see them as two distinct files. Because they actually can be distinct - the two links can differ only in one single slash. (Read more here.) And yes, if you're using two different links to one page, the whole rank of the page is split between those two links and your page is effectively loosing the half of its rank. That's why I suggest the mentioned link canonicalization to prevent those leaks.

May 28	comment	The right way of using index.html Thank you for such comprehensive answer! That public access to my folders and the fact that they are indexed by google, makes me quite angry so now when I know that there's no problem with the "index in every folder" trick, I will change my website this way. I just hope that the rel="canonical" trick will work and all those indexes won't appear in the google search... :D
