    Hey wanted to know what do you use as a perm link on wp?

    I was thinking about using

    /%tag%/%postname%/

    but i seen on other sites using other methods so let's see what's the most common.

    I have seen a similar post to this a few days ago :D
    I personally use %postname% and %category%/%postname%.html for my two blogs :)

    I use Day and Name settings, then add a category ( /%category% ) between them.

    I use /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    That way all of my post get a different name - because the date throws in a random number. What was happening, with /%postname%/ - some of my titles were repeating themselves. So I started using the date just to have a number.

    The best is %postaname% Alone.. :) Adding category and alll doesnt do that good. Keep it always the postname, or even you can add month and date, but no one prefers adding tags and categories.

    Thanks.

    I agree with extremephp, I simply stick to only %postaname% - No dates, months or anything else needed here. It is simply not relevant to the structure of the blog and you want long-tail keywords implemented in the permalinks. This structure is proven for every one of my blogs and I have proof of them ranking on Google.

    Another /%postname%/ fan here ;-) BTW, if the title has been used before, WP just adds a number at the end. So
    myblog.com/postname becomes the second time round myblog.com/postname-2
    Hope that helps, SY

    /%postname%/ or /%postname%.html is what I always use.

    Wordpress doesn't allow duplicate URL's so it's a non-issue.
