Hi, I'm just wondering what is the best way to write my urls in wordpress. Here are the 2 ways I'm deciding between, but feel free to make suggestions. http://mysite.com/articles/articlename http://mysite.com/articlename Would either of these work better than the other in google? Note I did have the category in the url, but this was proving a pain, because there was no manual way to set it, and it kept chosing the least relevant category.
I would go with the top one - http://mysite.com/articles/articlename If you have a folder called articles, you then can have subfolders called whatever you like and better for SEO. So you may have a section dedicated to cars - so you can call your folder /cars/ or it will look like this: http://mysite.com/articles/cars
