If you have created a new website using WordPress than it is very important to change WordPress permalink structure. Permalink structure plays a very important role to increase your blog’s SEO. If you have a simple and effective Permalink structure then there is a great probability that your wordpress website will appear in search engines.

The default Permalink structure in your website looks like this “http://yourdomain.com/?p=123″. It does not help to increase the SEO score.

So, you should have to make it look professional. Here are some examples that you can use:

• If your domain name is short like “www.domain.com ” then you can use the following:

http://www.yourdomain.com/year/month/postname

http://www.yourdomain.com/%category%/%postname%/

• If your domain name is long “www.itisverylongdomainname.com” .   then you should use:

http://www.itisverylongdomainname.com/%postname%/

So, these are some useful examples. So, change your wordpress Permalink Structure according to your need.
