    The best internal url link structure is to go for : yourwebsite.com/post

    I'd agree that the best structure is /%postname%/ and if you use the right SEO approach and the right theme, you can avoid all forms of duplication plus a site that consists entirely of 2 tiers.

    Slightly off topic, how many signature links are allowed for a non paying warrior? Looking at the post above, it appears someone made it unlimited...just sayin'

      It's not a number of links its a number of lines. I think 4 lines.

      To answer the OP's question, go with %/postname unless you are building a silo structured website and then consider doing category/postname.

      And to improve your internal linking, link posts to other relevant posts using your target anchor text. A good example of internal linking is wikipedia. They link all their articles together with anchor text.

    Signature

    Guest post links are effective when they are contextual and natural!!

      Well /postname/ is good for small websites, while /category/postname/ is good for large website to get benefit of SILO structure.

    I thought I would post this: SEOmoz | SEO Cheat Sheet: Anatomy of A URL

    i'm guessing /category/post vs /post isnt much difference. Size prolly matters more (thats what she said)
