    I see no SEO purpose in dating the URL. It may have a function for your readers, depending on how often you update.
    Also, if you really have your blog in a folder called "blog"-you are missing an opportunity to rank every post for a searchable keyword.

    But my main page is not wordpress, it is just a normal page, so i canno't just list posts in the main directory.

    Gamefray: I'd highly suggest Option 2 (http://domain.tld/blog/post/). When you have to republish some posts, you wouldn't have problems with broken links. :) Check the WordPress SEO Guide in my sig for more info. :D

    /%category%/%postname%/ is generally recommended because you get an extra keyword or phrase in there by specifying the category too.
