    Anyone who cares?

    I've heard that links with '?' in are bad for SEO. How can I reformat these links in my WordPress? From, say, http://www.c00t.net/?p=5#more-5, to http://www.c00t.net/5/more?

    If you are talking about the URLs than wordpress has the options to change the URL within it. Go into your admin area and play around with the options. You should be able to remove the ? from your domains.

    Also, consider this SEO tip for wordpress.

    Go to in the dashboard and click on >> options then click on >> permalinks.

    I don't know where you heard about the question mark thing in the url effecting SEO.

    Doesn't seem to have effected Shawn's rankings to badly.

    I don't think it helps to the depth that people think it does, but it can't hurt to have se friendly urls. Not everyone has dp's traffic, after all.

    hi, let me tell u how simple is doing seo for your blog

    permalinks is option in WP which allows to make static links fom default dynamic links


    install wordpress
    goto admin panel
    in admin panel goto OPTIONS
    in options u can find perlinks
    here u can find few options how u like your links to be.
    just choose 1 form of links from shown, below u get mod_rewrite code auto generated
    now copy this code which is gererated auto and past in textfile called .htaccess in your root dir where u installed blog
    note: your hosting should support MOD_rewritting

    for more info on this plz PM me or ask here
