Word press SEO question
 

Currently I have my permalinks set the standard way

domain.com/?p=144

I would like to change them to use the titles
domain.com/title/

is this going to fuck up my existing pages if I change it to use titles?

I already make it to the front page for a great keyword and I would like to get all the rest of my individual posts spidered

Shit I will own the keyword I think if I can just flip it over

i am sexy

I have seen it mess up some old permalinks, but that was an older version of WP.

should work smoothly... did for me at least... :thumbsup

cool thanks guys

permalink options /%postname%/ and that's it! :)

it will work but again google is sending to p=34 or wahtever, so they will 404 your have to 301 redirect etc, just my 2cetns

That's a good solution in case if you're absolutely sure your post names are unique.

I think that WP adds a number to any multiple posts that are named exactly the same... at least in the url

Some nice stuff on wordpress and more seo related content.

You shouldn't run into any problems. I don't know why they don't make SEO friendly URLs the default.

Nope, not if you use/%postname%/, the number doesn't appear automatically.

I'd recommend

/%postname%-%post_id%.html

instead. So your titles are always unique, since the post_id is a unique number and you got a .html instead of a directory, which speeds up the indexing.

if ur pages are already indexed u need to tell google the new urls via reddirect.
