Permalinks & SlugsPermalinks and Slugs
Your workflow may look similar to this
• Create your great Title of the Post • Write the Post • Choose Category(ies) • Add tags • Review the post before publishing • Hit ‘Publish’ and wait for it… • Sit back, relax and watch the page views increase
Your post slug is defined as the direct permalink or URL to your post
Maximise the density of keywords on your permalink instead of diluting
it with 20+ other words
It’s much friendlier to use smaller permalinks
Get rid of any extraneous words like the, as, if, an and others
They don’t contribute anything to your SEO
Include only targeted keywords that specifically match that particular piece of content
