Success for Your Blog is asking for the best blooging tip and here is one of mine.  I have never used the Post Slug feature in WordPress, so I decided to do a little research. The post slug is how WordPress cleans up your post title, IF you are using the date and name based Permalinks. Your post title is not allowed to have commas, quotes, apostrophes and other non-HTML characters. For example, if your post was titled “I’d love to blog but can’t”, it will be changed to read “id-love-to-blog-but-cant”.

You can also change the post slug if you wish. Let’s say I want the post title to really be “love-to-blog” since I think this phrase will do much better in search engine results than the originally title. I can manually type in the Post Slug in the Post Slug box at the right. For this post, I typed in “wordpress-post-slug” since I think that phrase will search better than my actually title.

If you really want to find the best titles and keywords for your posts, you must begin using keyword tools as well. Look for future posts on popular keyword tools and how to use them.

Permalinks are the permanent URLs to your post. In WordPress, you have the option of choosing what style of permalinks you would like to use. My suggestion is to ALWAYS use the date and name based option for your posts. Why? SEO of course! When you have the title of your post listed in the URL your post will do better in searches. Here are the options in WordPress:

WordPress will need to access your .htaccess file in order to update the rewrite rules. Make sure that WordPress can access this file or you will get an error.
