htaccess question

[GeorgeTH]

Thanks for the warning!

I wanted to use it for my TGP sites, because only ~50% of the hits arrive at http://www.picxs.com/index.shtml, the remaining 50% are split across 3 other options... Now if somebody submits and uses a counter like Sextracker it might show that I'm sending 600 hits that day, where in fact it could be well over 1,000 once they check further down the list...

Question:
does this help with Google listings, too?

Currently you might find http://picxs.com/ right above http://www.picxs.com/index.shtml in their results - I would think a combined listing might actually boost my position (rather than hurt it).
