Do root level pages tend to rank higher in SERPS than pages burried in 4 levels deep directories?

http://www.domain.com/file_name.html

compared to:

http://www.domain.com/name/name/name/file_name.html

index.html (homepage) is the most important... When the site has frequent updated content. That's when the spider's crawl deeper into a site finding others...

Thats not such an easy question.

if theoretically 2 pages were "exactly" the same rank . One was www.keyword.com and one was www.bungo.com/keyword/keyword/keyword.html i think it would display the first one first

hope that helps.

I have seen it work both ways though , google / yahoo is finicky..

example google will list 2 pages fromt he same site if they both apply.

like porn videos might show www.pornvideos.com , and www.pornvideos.com/porn/video/ in either order..

I really dont think it matters much . If a keyword is simply in the url it must help a little but not much

I saw some inspiring work recently and everything was in the root. Figured that might have been some kind of tactic. Like files in the root must hold some higher priority than files in distant directories.

ok i got a simple question to.

why when i look up my keywords and i found my listing sometimes its just says my url and on certain keywords it has my url/index.html?

It depends on whether or not you have the 4 level deep google priority ID.
