Honestly, you'll hear things from all over the place on this idea.

Myself and BamaStangGuy are in the process of creating a SEO Writeup for WP, heres what he says on his permalinks:
Wordpress SEO

Rocket that's a great writeup!

Kevin, is there any seo benefit to using the postname over the other examples?

Also I use the /%postname%/ structure

Also I use this plugin to drop the /category from my category permalinks (and properly redirect things)

I set it up to be pretty much like my forum is. After reading a lot over at vbseo I found it was better for me. It seemed, to me a more logical way to have it set up.

Now with the plugin below I should be good to go!

Thanks!

Re: Permalink Settings for WP blog

The main disadvantage of this plugin is no posts can have the same name. Having a small (and just starting) movie/television review blog this sometimes can be a bit difficult..

Cudo's for vBSEO I'm able to use [thread_id]-[thread_title]/ for one of my upcoming forums vBulletin SEO Forums
(still not really sure if it would be wise to do so btw.)

Talking about wp, does anyone have some experience with http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...-one-seo-pack/, or do you prefer optimizing your blog yourself?

What is wrong with that set up? It almost looks like vbseo's setup.


For some reason I didn't like that one. I always see that mentioned EVERYWHERE! hahah I actually prefer this one here Platinum SEO plugin - the ultimate wordpress SEO solution they are probably exactly the same but for some reason the all in one just didn't jive with me.

I use the all-in-one seo pack. It's great. There are lots of settings inside. You have to pay close attention to them.

It's quite different actually.
Like the wp no-category plugin removes the category base, I've removed my forum base (ie. [forum_title]/) in this setup, leaving only http://mypage.com/[thread_id]-[thread_title]/

Your First 3 Steps After Setting Up WordPress

By choosing this setting your readers will have a reference to when the post was created as well as a descriptive link to share with their friends. Not only that, but search engines love good hierarchy and description in posts so do yourself a favor and change from the Default Permalink Settings.
