New Post URL’s for MayankRocks.Com
I have changed the permalinks for my blog today. I got this idea from Chetan actually. But mine are slightly different than his. I added a PostID and the category name aswell. When the category name comes into the URL, it gives a good boost in ranking. The url contains another relevant content rich keyword that might help my posts rank you better in google. Static urls have a tendency to rank better in search engines. Well, let’s hope that it proves beneficial for my blog. However I should have had changed them before and not so late. Even though I’ve updated the sitemap with the new urls, it would still take some time for search engines to update my urls in their database. Hopefully it is done fast, so I don’t lose my precious visitors.

Hope it helps

Thanks, i never knew you can add .html in a php file.
But I dont find any importance of .html.. Is it so important ?
Or just keep /%category%/%post_id%-%postname%/ :??:

It isnt php files (dynamic) actually. Wordpress allows you to do just anything with you urls. A normal url, a dynamic, a static.
.html means Static urls. Well, to be honest I am not really sure how much this is going to help. I am trying it out. We should try out such stuff when our blogs are new itself. Otherwise it will be harmful if we tried later.
Well, Static URLs always rank better in google than dynamic urls. VBSEO does that aswell. Makes .html urls for inner threads and yes I have seen the benefits on my forum after using VBSEO, so just trying it out. You can do without .html also. It will be fine. Before I had that only.

It has always helped me, as static URL’s are loved better than others.
But good idea that you included category name too in the url.

Perma is much better… But for linking between posts it’s still advisible to use IDs because you might change your perma structure later.
