Best permalink structure

I have 3 options:

1)%postname%
2)/%category%/%postname%
3)/%category%/%postname%.php


For me option 3 is the best cause i would like to use top level categories plugin that doesn't work for 1 and 2 (it removes /category/ from url)

 

I just use %postname% works well.

 

Personally I use /%year%/%category%/%postname%.html

I recently set up a brand new blog with that structure and already every page is indexed:
http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=site:veebox.ca&btnG=Search&meta=

 

I suggest you go with:

/%postname%.html

shorter is better

 

I prefer to use : %year%/%month%/%postname%.html

 

Yea, shorter definitely looks better.

 

i use category/postname but if u cant use that use /date/postname and if not that just /postname

I havent tested any extensions and am happy with the way im going now so why would I change it???

 

I choose /%postname%.html

 

I use 2)/%category%/%postname%

 

Exactly the same here as Pipes. According to me, the differentiation of the categories individually makes your link look more organized. There is no best structure, rather its a matter of perception when it comes to customizing the perma. The default one sucks though lol.

 

Does matter if i use .php extension in the end of link

 

i ever user /%category%/%postname%.html
and it can make hurt because i want to change many category, not just category name but also category slug

so, i prefer /%postname%.html in most of my blog

but for some e-commerce site i prefer /%category%/%postname%.html
because that will describe the product category

 

I have used /%postname%/ but adding .html sounds good

 

date/postname prevents duplication and I dont think it hurts any with the Search Engines
