How much of the Page name appears online?

I am ready to publish to MobileMe using my Personal Domain name of binghamassociation.com. To run a check, I published to a folder on my desktop with the following results (example of one of many pages): file:///Users/dgbmunger/Desktop/binghamassociation%20website/Bingham_Association/Welcome.html

How much of this will actually appear online under a Google search, for example?

G4 Dual, Mac OS X (10.4.10), all software updates

It depends on how you forward it.
Using Cname you should get...

Getting to come up in Google and other search engines is a different matter!

Surely, if you use CNAME to forward you will get www.domainname/sitename/pagename.

If you use masked web forwarding however, then you should get www.domainname.com.

My mistake!
I keep forgetting about the limitations of MobileMe.
On my server I direct the domain to the index.html file inside the website folder and thus cut out the name of the folder from the URL.
On my personal site I can give people the URL...

http://roddymckay.com/ or www.roddymckay.com

Although the latter doesn't automatically become a link on this page it will get you there when entered into the browser.

Subsequent pages come up like .....

http://roddymckay.com/Music.html
