Wordpress and Adsense - SEO Inhibitor?

So i've just recently started making adsense content sites out of wordpress blogs. however before I dive too deep into it I want to make sure i'm not doing a ton of work for nothing.

When you make another page for your wordpress blog, or even another post.. even if you make the title of the post or page SEO friendly, the actual core link that goes to that webpage looks like this:

www.domain.com/?page_id=7

when a properly seo'd title would look something like this:

www.domain.com/keword_phrase_here.html

Is not having this going to make my efforts practically pointless when it comes to building up a huge site when none of the pages are linked from an seo friendly link?

Anyone else stumbled across this? If so, what did you do?

    Inside of your WordPress admin dashboard you can change the "Permalink" setting to get the format that will be more to your liking.

    In your Wordpress admin go to Settings → Permalinks

    If the title of your post is "keyword phrase here" and you want the link to the post to look like this: "www.domain.com/keword-phrase-here/" you would put the following in the "Custom Structure" field in the Permalinks panel: %postname%

    Hope this helps.

    All The Best,


    Tony

          Note that there was nothing bad about your original links. "Search engine friendly URLs" is a phrase that should have died years ago, as it's been almost half a decade since the search engines had problems following links with query strings. They're perfectly capable of indexing and ranking your site with ?page_id=# URLs and there'd be no loss except not having the extra keyword in your URL, which many highly ranked sites get by with just fine.

            A small factor though, YES.
