Permalinks Changed

Hi friends! Recently, I’ve updated and or changed my permalink structure on my blog. If you can observe, Wordpress has a traditional way of naming your posts. Each and every post made by a self hosted blog like me that uses wordpress is that they assign ID (Identification) on each successfully posted, both blog posts and pages.

Since then, a lot of self hosted blogs are using this type of path: http://www.domain.com/?p=1, meaning the visitor is directed to the post that has an ID which is 1, and p corresponds to a post, on the other hand, http://www.domain.com/?page_id=1, refers to a page that has an ID like 1.

Changing permalink structure will affect your search engine traffic. This is occur as soon as your blogs’ permalink structure to search engine are not updated. But with the help of wordpress plug in developers, they’re able to bridge out the problem. They made a customized plugin that will able your blog to identify the correct post or page by converting the old permalink structure to the new permalink structure. There have been also a few developers of these plug ins and is now available over the internet.

By the way, I’m changing my permalinks structure in order to have a few details on the URL whenever you got a chance to browse one of my posts and pages. As far as I know, I’ve read a few blog post that changing your permalink structure will boost up your search engine traffic.
