What is a permalink?
By Mike | December 30, 2006
A permalink is the url created for each blog post you make. If you use the Word Press default it will look something like this.
Not exactly the most search engine friendly way to do that but easy for programmers. Just keep numbering the posts from 1 to infinity.
You can change and set the permalinks to other options within your dashboard for your blog. My personal preferrence is to use a custom permalink but this does require a bit of technical skill. You need to have a .htaccess file that is writable.
This allows me to make my posts more like a web page title. For example the last post I wrote about categories. The URL for that post looks like this.

This allows anyone seeing the URL in the search engines to have a definite idea of what the post is about. For more information on using permalinks and other optimization tips check out “7 Tips To Make Your Word Press Blog Search Engine Friendly“.
