    I would put the post title before the post ID.*

    * Standard disclaimer about file names being only one small part of the big picture.

    Use this one - /category-name/post-title-post_id.html
    instead of this
    - /category_name/post_title-post_id.html

    Google read easily the hifens and can easily seperates the words. Yes always use title first and then ids.

    as i know, those 2 URL's are fine to use, (correct me if im wrong) that urls contain .html and Google likes that. (static) as long as your important keywords exist on that URL think no prob on it.

    Thanks for the input guys.
    I've implemented /category-name/post-title-post-id.html in my directory now.
