Using the WordPress post slug for SEO
WordPress makes it easy to have friendly URIs. Under the Options -> Permalinks tab you have several options. Of the options, I would suggest using one with %postname% as part of the URI.
But why?
If you read any web design blogs or forums you know that the words in the URI are important for SEO benefits. By using the post slug you have another opportunity to include the keywords you’re targeting.
But it’s possible to overdo it. WordPress does a decent job of filling in the slug if you leave it blank. While you can override the default slug, you don’t want to try and fill in so many keywords that it becomes spammy.
