Hi Warriors,

I am new here. But I was exploring this forum for a long time. Today joined there.

I am confused, which permalink structure is best for SEO benefit?

/%postname%/%year%/%month%/%date%/

/%category%/%postname%/

%postname%

Please explain which one is best.

Thanks

W

IMO it doesn't matter that much for SEO, the main thing is you don't have a URL that's a mile long.

I would pick /%category%/%postname%/ simply because it's straight to the point for traffic to know where they are on your site.

Thanks

I also like to remove the /category/ from the category pages.

From my concern "%postname% " is the best .Because it's more user friendly and also beneficial for Seo purposes .

  That's wouldn't work well at all, as there is no such structure tag as %categories%. Guessing you meant to use %category%
