Some solid suggestions! Easisly found this article, due in part, to its us of this naming convention. Have now implemented this strategy on my site; using the hyphens (in place of underscrores).

Hi Yaro. Love your site. I am new to blogging and just thinking about setting up my first blog. What is the best permalink structure. You use http://yourdomain.com/post_id/post-title/. What is the advantage of using post id in your url? Why not just have http://yourdomain.com/post-title/
Looking forward to your comments.
Thanks
Barbara

These are some great tips, thanks…what about having your keywords in a subdomain url?

If you have dynamic site with pages like this:
(Dynamic-to-static URL rewriting for Apache)

http://www.somesite.com/index.php?id=products&id2=car

you can change it to:
http://www.somesite.com/products/car/

by using url rewriting

Change .htaccess in your root directory
Add something like tis:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^.]*)/([^.]*)$ index.php/?id=$1&id2=$2

comment:
[^.] – means that links with “.” will not be rewrited (image.jpg or something like this)

Hi Brad, thanks for visiting. I had a look at your blog and site – you are quite the artist! When I write my book I’ll give you a call for artwork

This is a great tip Yaro, thanks for sharing it. I can’t believe this bit of information has eluded me for this long. Should be every bloggers priority in optimization. I’m enjoying your site quite a bit, I was referred to you via Darren over at ProBlogger. Cheers.

You have to play with the permalink settings Jason. I had some trouble at first because of the permissions on my server but once I got that right I could define how my permalinks display.

Yaro,

How did you set it up to put the folders like that in wordpress. I notice if I hover over your post title it is linked to a directory that is properly formatted with “-” where in wordpress do you set that up?
