In my last article about WordPress, Canonical URL’s, Optimized Permalinks, I explained why and how I easily managed to change my blogs permalinks structure with Dean’s Permalinks Migration plugin without the hassle of 404s or duplicate content.

Canonical URL’s, Optimized Permalinks
I updated my WordPress permalinks from an old-fashioned and quite outdated
/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/to the more optimized structure/%post_id%-%postname%/. Although I still like it if I can see the date and the entry title at a glance, the new structure has two advantages:- the new permalink structure is in some cases faster because of the way wordpress stores the URL information in the database (see further: Efficient permalink strategies for WordPress)
- according to SEO’s, a link like cordobo.com/540-firefox-add-ons-for-developers/ is more likely to result in a better SERP position than (the same) link named cordobo.com/2008/09/30/firefox-add-ons-for-developers/
