What do search engines prefer:

http://www.sitename.com/fights/battle1.html
?

Nothing specific. The first looks sexier, go for that.

What do you mean by nothing specific?

It becomes different when you start using queries like http://www.sitename.com/fights.php?battle=1 or when you go too deep with folder levels http://www.sitename.com/fights/battle/1/blah/more/stuff/and/so, not all search engines crawl that deep.

As far as I know (what I have been told from a large site), the ones with .htm[l] is more liked, since it is rated/seen as "static". But how exactly each search crawler works, I'm not sure.
Anyway, I too like the one without extension. Most nicer looking

How does that work, becuase when they're shown to be in folders it just looks like there's an index file so search engines like it.

What do you mean? As for making without extension or?

They usually list both the same. However stuff like index.php?id=4 are not displayed very well. That's why when you Google and forums come up you often get the archived version.
