Using SEO Friendly URLs For Better Search Results
by hasan on Jun.22, 2009, under Newbie, Tips and Tricks, Tutorial Blog
Dynamic URL vs. SEO Friendly URL
By default, Wordpress names its URL with a dynamically generated sequential number. The number is placed after the domain name and looks something like http://www.hasannudin.com/?p=158. To Google, this doesn’t mean anything. Google will have to spider my content to figure out what the article is about. Contrast this with http://www.hasannudin.com/tips-and-tricks/making-indonesian-fake-earning/. With this SEO friendly URL, Google can figure out immediately what the article is about. I have a much better chance of showing up in the search engine results page using a SEO friendly URL than a dynamic one.
Turning On SEO Friendly URL
To turn on SEO friendly URL, go to Options setting in your Wordpress control panel and choose Permalinks. From there you have four choices for displaying your URL: Default, Date and name based, Numeric, and Custom. You will want to use Date and name based or custom because they are the most search engine friendly. I use the custom setting for my URLs – it shows my domain name followed by the post name. The custom structure to do it this is /%category%/%postname%/ or /%postname%/ if you want to omit its category tips-and-tricks.

Change permalink to search engine friendly is a must to get traffic from search engine. I used to use this only /%postname%/ , thanks.

Posting category/postname is becoming my new preferred method. A lot of people, myself included, used to just do /postname for their url structure, but I think thats a bit outdated these days. I actually read another blog post about it, saying pretty much the same thing. /category/postname all the way!
