    Using links with "plain english" text within do better than others. Search engines are looking for text. Having text in the url (versus numbers) will generally outperform other options if all else is equal. Best if having the url with text matching what you want that page to rank for in the search engines.

    The best links are the ones people click ;)

    They do say that the one without the =? in them are the way to go,but blah, if a search engine can't figure out links like that yet, who the heck is still using that site as their search engine?

    Do what looks best, or which ever is shortest/easiest to re-write.

    domain.tld/category/post-name is often the best when your internal page is displayed in search results.
