    I don't see much of a difference, the thing is, method 2 would give the appearance of a shallower site, which is good for crawl depth, but the "html" at the end dilutes your keywords a little bit.

    example.com/keyword1-keyword2/ would be better

    But I use the first option on most of my sites, since I tend to always get fully crawled anyways.

    Thanks Chris

    I thought I'd ask as someone was trying to tell me that the second option was rubbish and would eventually get banned by the search engines... which I thought was weird because I have sites on the 1st page with urls like that...

    Its always good to check though

    I use the second.

    I don't do keyword-keyword.html I do whats-on-the-page.html

    Also sometimes site.com/whats-on-the-page/

    Be sure to stay consistent with the / at the end too if you use it once.
