SEO About WordPress permalink settings. If the blog is a miscellaneous blog only "post name" is recommended . I write about what I was thinking to write for a long time and I forgot to write. You may be aware of it.
When I started this blog, I made a permalink setting different from the WordPress site I created so far. This is a setting that emphasizes the SEO part.

- SEO effect of URL structure
- If post blog is recommended only post name
Permalink setting
When building a site with WordPress, I think that many people say that permalink setting is first. I also do permalink setting first.What is Perma Linkling? Some people think that. It is a URL structure if it answers tremendously complete.
If it is WordPress, it is in the item of setting.
What I saw before was custom "category name + post name" (/% category% /% postname% /).
I used to go to this "category name + post name" even in the site I have been operating before, but from this blog only "post name".
The structure of URL in SEO is said variously, and I am not sure which one is the correct answer. There was also a time when Japanese notation was said to be good. It is also said that short ones are good.
However, looking at recent SEO related articles, I think that many claims that the URL itself is almost irrelevant in terms of SEO, and that John Muller of Google does not matter either.

I actually went to various blog sites and I did not find the difference in SEO between URLs.
In the past, there were times when URLs in Japanese domains were good. About 2 years ago, I made a site of Japanese domain in a big word at that time and updated about 10 articles, so I was ranked 3rd in the search result of Google, so Japanese domain is strong! I also have the experience of that. But now the Japanese domain may be strong for a moment, but in the long run it seems like there are more negatives.
If post blog is recommended only post name
This time, I forgot the name of the permalink as the post name, but I forgot the site I saw (in this site, please let me know if you have a link, so I put the link), but later when changing the category If "category name + post name", the URL may be changed, so it may be true to see that it is better to use only "post name". I changed it to "post name" only.
However, there are people who look at the URL, and there are also people who make judgments in the URL, so I think that "category name + post name" would be better when thinking about the user. In addition, thinking about the user may lead to usability, and indirectly it may also be effective in terms of SEO.
I think the effect is almost zero, though it is indirect.
However, many users who look at URLs have high IT literacy to some extent, and ordinary people do not look at URLs very much.
Well, I think that post names are good only for miscellaneous blogs.
For professional blogs, I still think that "category name + post name" is better. That's because I think that you should think about what you write from the beginning and think about categories properly and build a site. The theme and the content to be written are less likely to be blurred later. Depending on the theme and genre of the blog, people with high IT literacy will also read, so "category name + post name" would be good for usability.
But in the case of personal blogs, I will add this category later! Sometimes I think, and when I change the category of the articles I wrote in the past, the URL may change, so I wonder if only the "post name" is not affected by the category name. ? I think (I'm just good to do 301 transfer, but if you have a lot, it will be cumbersome and you may forget to set it).
In addition, even if you receive the in-link, if the URL changes, the in-link is also wasted (the in-link is generated because it is linked to the site, but even when the in-link is performed I think that anchor text is important, and I think so too, so the meaning of anchor text is lost, so I think that it will be weak in terms of SEO, in the link to the 404 error. But).
If you get a bookmark or the URL changes, it will not be linked with the Hatena bookmark.
If you use WordPress to write anything you can write about anything, is the "post name" the best? I think, I have switched to permalink settings only "post name" from this blog.
People who can set properly when the URL is changed is good, but otherwise, if it's bothersome, using "post name" as SEO will eventually become stronger as SEO.
Of course, the quality of articles is important, but the quality of articles is more important.
