Simple Permalink Change To Increase Your Blog Traffic And Ranking

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks !

Now that you have your Wordpress blog ready, here is a simple change that will help your rank better in search engine which in turn will drive more traffic. By default, Wordpress uses the permalink (the permanent link of a particular post) which contains question mark symbol and lots of numbers. As mysterious and coded the permalink might look , it is not search engine or human friendly. So, I recommend you change the permalink structure to ‘Date and name based’.

First log in to the admin section of the blog and go to options and then to Permalinks. You will see a page like this:

Simply select the ‘Date and name based’ radio button and update the permalink structure. Now instead of just numbers, you will have the whole post title in the permalink.
