I think you will find SEO experts out there that live by the removal of extensions for one reason that may or may not matter to you in a general sense.

I'm led to believe URL length can play a part SEO, and we all know URL wording certainly does. So I guess there are those who figure that the extension is utterly redundant text in an important space, and that space is better used on text that matters. The 4-5 characters in an extension is another word worth potentially alot more.

I always try to remove them as long as the core system doesn't have a problem with doing so dynamically. They simply aren't serving any purpose at any stage.

from what we have seen file extensions don't matter too much. we don't
have them and get quite good rankings with our platforms and i've seen
others having them with equally good results.

the only thing which is really old school and is hated by most search
engines is the

http://mydomain.com/index.php?page=blubb&whathaveyou=here...

the problem here is that google only sees index.php and has a really
hard time to figure out how to map the content to a url as it needs to
store the get string as well.

I think it might look cool, but from SEO rankings perspective, this is
something that can be avoided.

I think you would do this something like this in htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.logic$ $1.php [L]
