Thanks for this information! I have a question about your permalink suggestion. What happens if you assign a post to multiple categories (which happens about 50% of the time for me)? How will WP know which category to use? Will this have a negative effect on SEO?

What does it say after you change the permalink structure in WordPress, do you get a 404 error?

It doesnt matter if posts are indexed or not, just mention it so that there wont be any 404 errors, even from the user side, like from user bookmarks and so on.
You can see which all pages are on google using this search – http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aecofriendlylivingtips.com

Hope it helped

Hi I’ve been trying everything to get my permalinks to be optimized but the won’t change from old structure /?page_id=N to /philippines-business-registration or whatever i want to optimize. I’ve used the dean migrator and changed it in permalinks, but i can’t get anything. Can someone please help.

Thanks

ok so i have a site 10 posts were just with the %postname%.. and i want to change those plus the new ones i added to category/postname etc..
when i upload this plug in does it ask you which posts you want to direct?
how can i tell which of the new pages are indexed or not. what if i redirect some that are not even indexed yet? great informative article you are bookmarked!
