I was told to delete ".html" from web application links in order to be better seen by Google bot. So example.com/path/to/resource.html should be example.com/path/to/resource. I didn't find any document saying that format of the resource, placed in urls, has any influence as such. No matter if it's php, htm, html or any other aspx.
So, how is it? Does omitting the .html, or any other format, make any difference to Google bot?
No not at all. You don't get more or lose ranking because of that. It is not worth the effort.

I have a site and a blog as subdomain. The both are indexed on google, however, when I search for my domain, the blog and site are displayed separately. I'd like to show them "aggregated" way.
For example, attached has the result of stackoverflow searching on google. The picture has the main site and under it, some pages as Questions, Jobs, Java, etc.
How can I set my blog under my main site?
Regards
those are called site links and are quto generated by google if links on your website are evaluated as important

I have some problems and im confusing now with google webmaster tools
I have example:
http://site.com/link/text.html
and im using CustomVar on google analytics to track clicks from external site
example
http://site.com/link/text.html?promoid=123
Now in webmaster tools i have toons of duplicated links
In robots.txt im add
Disallow: *?promoid
but im not sure if this good idea...
What i should do now, still use robots file and disallow promoid or maybe use rel="canonical" ?
Edit: all links with ?promoid=123 is posted on external site not on my...
This is exactly what canonical URLs are for. It will tell Google that http://site.com/link/text.html is the main URL to use for that page and that any other page using that canonical URL is just a minor variation of that page.

I have deployed the following application to OpenShift and I think I'm doing something wrong with the seo steps I followed.
https://actibities-uniongr.rhcloud.com
Whenever I search about actibities in google my site appears at the 3rd page but instead of showing the home page, it shows a "sub" page pages/actibities-history. I have tried to submit my content through webmaster tools but with no luck.
Any ideas about how I should re-crawl in order to adopt the appropriate site structure?
Did You upload sitemap to google ? Thats best way to organize Your page structure.

this is just a simple SEO question.
I have a wordpress SEO plug-in that has this option:
Meta robots: [checkbox] noindex, follow
Should I check this option if I want my page to be available on Google?
Noindex means that the page may not be indexed and thus the page which is affected by this Robots Exclusion Protocol directive, will not appear in major search engines, including Google. The follow directive doesn't have much to do with whether the page appears in a search engine's results.
See this for more info (applies on most search engines):

I am using Microsoft's IIS SEO analyzer, and it keeps showing me a warning that I have a canonical link error because I'm storing the same file in different folders on the server. Doing this makes my file structure much more organized that linking different folders together. Should I just ignore this or is this a big deal for SEO?
Where files are located on your server has nothing to do with SEO. There is no way for search engines to know where files are actually located and a page's URL dos not necessarily indicate its location on the server. What does matter is whether two URLs pull up the same page. That would be duplicate content and a problem for your SEO efforts.
