SE index page questions

Without seeing the site I couldn't say for sure. Which search engines are you talking about? The Big 3 use different factors in ranking pages for the serps.

It could just be that your .html page is more relevant to the se algos'. I would rename the index.php to something else tho.

How your site is designed and how you trade links could also be a factor.

My site Is http://www.mudseroticsluts.com/ I was actually on my way here when you replied cause now I am unsure if I should do anything. I just now found out that msn has the main domain listed.

Since the index.php is the second page and is a IMO a large page with a bunch of outgoing links maybe I am just not being patient enough.

From what I've read,

SE's are much slower when the pages end with a .php extension, especially with query strings attached.

Also, when SE are directed to http://www.xxx.com/ they first check to see if index.html exists, if not, they check for index.htm, and then index.php.

I personally avoid using both index.php and index.html in one directory. I'd also rename anything .php that isn't a pure script page into .html or .htm. They do get indexed much quicker that way.
