 WP Permalinks Which permalink structure is best used for both SEO and SEM purposes in your opinion? I'm currently using /%category%/%postname%.eire on my main blog. The I have seen a blog using the following structure - category/03-04-2007/postname/ and I think it works better than my structure in a way since it includes the date which gives an indication on how fresh the content is, however it uses the European format for date and may confuse American visitors. What are your thoughts on the best permalink structure?         |

| In an ideal world I'd go for /%postname% - never more than one level deep  It might take some hacking though.

Redirect permanent /old/address/ http://www.yourdomain.com/new/address/ For example on my site I have one: Redirect permanent /yclick.it/ecommerce-live-chat-service/ Answer Your Visitors’ Questions through a Live Chat *|*logic+intuition SEOmoz have a good article on doing redirects properly for SEO. They do it slightly differently to above but I think this is more straight-forward. |

| Yes, I had really long ones, and was afraid to change it because of the Loss in traffic due to the incorrect indexing by google. But there is a wordpress plugin that works wonders; it does something like telling search engines that the URl for that post has changed permanently. But i noticed many blogs have very long permalinks for there posts - much too long. Aside from SEO - it generally looks better - and is easier to bookmark! |

| Indeed, the long format permalink should be avoided at all costs for SEO purposes. |
