I was setting up a new Wordpress blog and was trying to decide what format to use for my urls (permalinks). I opted for a format like:
http://www.mysite.com/blog/archives/123
I thought that this would be easier on the eyes than having the post title in the url:
http://www.mysite.com/blog/archives/some-post-by-me

However, I was just found a post on the importance of a good post slug. I really hadn’t thought about the importance of relevant content in the url for search engines and ad serving via Adsense.
