Folder depth and SEO

[LD]

In organizing your sites and folders, is there an advantage to having your index page on a higher level...all things being equal.

Example:

would

mydomain.com/analsluts/index.html

be preferable to

mydomain.com/freesites/november2007/anal/sponsorxyz/analsluts/index.html

?

Just wondering if the placement of the index file has any influence on se jiuce...?
