# Making post *.html

 * In Settings > Permalinks > Custom Structure: I have this
    /%postname%.html
 * 1) I added .html to the end 2) I omitted the ending /
 * The result is this:
 * [http://learnfast.us/my-keyword.html](http://learnfast.us/my-keyword.html)
 * I have two questions:
 * 1) Will this mess anything up in wordpress?
    2) Will this help SEO? I have notice
   many times that my [http://www.mysite/mykeyword.html](http://www.mysite/mykeyword.html)
   pages rank much higher than my simply [http://www.mysite/mykeyword/](http://www.mysite/mykeyword/)
   So I got the idea to make my wordpress pages look like HTML pages. However is
   this real? Will google really see this as an HTML page or simply a page with “
   HTML” as part of the name?
 * Thanks
