I was wondering, how does one go about making it so that when I make a post, the URL of the post points to the homepage URL? I know this sounds confusing, so here's an example: My blog - http://www.rickyleone.com Say if I make a post about coke, and I title it 'Coke'. The URL will be this: http://www.rickyleone.com/coke However, now when I submit it to Digg or wherever, or when the search engine crawlers find my website, they will link to the actual post: http://www.rickyleone.com/coke When I want them to link to the main page: http://www.rickyleone.com So the main page could get more backlinks to it instead of the actual post itself. I hope this is clear enough, if not, just tell me, I'll try to rephrase it.
Do u want to change ur wordpress permanlinks: For Custom structure: /%category%//%postname%/ Or /%category%//%postname%.html and rewrite ur .htaccess file if ur auto rewrite mode is disable
As has been pointed out, that's the way Digg and social bookmarking sites work. They point to specific articles - because the users want to be taken to the content, not your front page. What you could do (which would be kind of silly), is re-write your template so that the index.php load the most recent article. That way you could submit that one article to Digg and have it point to your homepage. However, you could never submit another article that way, since Digg would already have the URL registered. Technical things aside, you wouldn't want to do that anyway. A link coming into any portion of your site is a good thing. Your internal linking structure (like the way every page links back to the front index) redistributes the pagerank throughout the site. You'll also find that the individual articles do a better job of bringing in search engine traffic than the front page - since they're targeted at specific topics/keywords. So trying to funnel every link to your main site, instead of your content pages, is counter-productive. - Walkere
