Wordpress: Best Permalinks Setting?

Currently I have it set at the default:
http://www.blog.com/?p=123

What's the best setting for SEO when choosing Permalinks structure?

Thanks,
Sam Designs.

 

I always use /%postname%/ so their keyword rich URL's.

 

thats rite.

and add a page extension such .htm or .html if you wish

 

/%postname%.html if it's gonna be a static, or not a news related blog. If you're gonna be posting alot or have hopes to get into google news then include the year/month as well.

 

Check this post out cause I'm sure you'll particularly find it pretty useful

Its a good setting coz static url helps in seo and adsense.
/%category%/%postname%/ or /%category%/%postname%.html

 

Same with me Bro

its short n nice

 

Yep, I use /%category%/%postname%/ cos it is so keyword rich

 

The URL can become really long it you use the category+post title+year+.html If you are not into google news the best way is /%postname%/. That`s what am I using.

 

/%postname% is what I use.

 

I use /%month%/%day%/%postname%

 

i dont use %categories% just %postname%

 

I use /%category%/%postname%/ but if the post title is too long I will use the post slug to shorten it to a more keyword targeted URL.

 

I think it's not wise using .html for wordpress.
It seems that you try to trick the search engine by saying that it is a static website?

Don't you think how it's look in comments permalink of certain post or the <!--nextpage--> page?

It will look as ugly as

http://www.domain.com/thepost.html/#comment

Or

http://www.domain.com/thepost.html/page2/

Just use /%postname% is enough, I think...

Sorry,no offence...

 

SLUG is nice too

 

I never use slug or don't know how.
Is it the one that when we save the draft the one underneath the post title text area?

 

I simply use /%postname%/ since I have the domain name in the url. Otherwise my addy's would be a bit redundant.

Use SLUG to overwrite ur long title in URL

its on the right BOX new post

Under post title is permalink setting

 

/%postname%/ is best, easy for everyone to understand

 

I think most would agree that /%postname%/ or /%category%/%postname%/ is good. Someone mentioned Google News above, so if you want to get in that - you may need to put numbers (such as date, or post ID) in your permalinks.
