Create Search Engine Friendly Permalinks in WordPress
Immediately after you install WordPress, change your Permalink structure.
WordPress, by default, creates your links using parameters and numbers (i.e. /?p=123). Not a very search engine friendly URL.
Changing your permalinks to a more search engine friendly URL will help search engines find your website and help visitors understand what your page(s) or post(s) are about.
 Search engine friendly permalink URL Creating Search Engine Friendly Permalinks
- Login to WordPress
- Click on ‘Settings’ in the left margin
- Click on ‘Permalinks’
- Check the radio button near ‘Month and name’
- Click the ‘Save Changes’ button
Now when you create a new blog post, your title will be shown in the URL along with the blog post date.

Websites Are Tracking Your Every Move
While visiting All Things Digital, the homepage presents the following disclosure:
“A note about tracking cookies
Some of the advertisers and Web analytics firms used on this site may place “tracking cookies” only your computer. We are telling you about them right upfront, and we want you to know how to get rid of these tracking cookies if you like. Read more >”
 A note about tracking cookies Is this the new standard? I hope not. Did the lawyers get involved in this? Or our government?
Google just recently announced a Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Tracking is Okay
A lot of websites rely on good quality statistics and, yes, this involves tracking a user through a website. Why is this considered harmful? It’s not. You’re being tracked anonymously. No personal data is ever sent with web analytics software.
How are we, internet marketers, supposed to make the visitors experience better? Website tracking helps website owners present the most meaningful website data first. Tracking helps companies know what their visitors want and don’t want.
I personally think the disclosure is ridiculous. People should worry more about giving their credit card to their waiter than worry about being tracked anonymously.
