I am not sure now about whether I have permalink structures going or not – but I need to check in light of this. I do use keywords in titles for child pages, but how relevant they are I need to check!

Hi Sean

I didn’t really understand the impact of optimising my permalink structure until I read this article.

I need to return to my blog and check that I have followed the information here.

As it is so important to get it right, I will also look through my notes and videos in my Yotacademy Home Study.

A permalink is simply a link to an individual page/article on your site Jill, not the home page. You will notice when you click a title of one of your articles (from the home page), it will take you to that individual post and the URL will change, this is the permalink URL for that individual post.

I like my permalink structure to consist of URL/category/postname. An example URL would be http:// myblog.com/blogging/how-to-blog

Hi Sean,
I must admit at this stage most of this article is going over my head. I understand that it’s important to have a keyword in the URL that’s relevant to the content in my blog.

It’s probably that I don’t understand what exactly Permalinks are or what a permalink structure consists of. Could you tell me, Sean?

Hi Sean,

I think getting your permalink structure is so important to your SEO efforts. It’s really a simple thing to apply and yet it will make a big difference to being found by the search engines. It’s definitely worth learning to do this correctly.
