Permalink Settings – Optimizing The Onpage SEO

The structure of permalinks play a very important role in onpage seo of the wordpress blog. Changing the settings can get you some good amount of traffic from search engines. Usually new bloggers forget to change the structure in starting, and later it becomes too late because the indexed pages will be having a different permalink and when they change the permalinks all the indexed pages will give page not found error. So, remember to change your permalink structure before making the first post.

In case, you forgot to change your permalinks in the starting of your blog, don’t worry, you are not that late just change the permalink structure and install a wordpress plugin “Permalinks Moved Permanently”. This will help you in getting the rid of the problems.

The default permalink looks like http://www.xyz***blog.com/p=123, this kind of permalink structure is not good for SEO, a better structure can have keywords in the link which will be good for search engine rankings. Now, to change the permalink structure, open your admin panel and move on to Permalinks (/wp-admin/options-permalink.php) and change the structure to one of the following:

a). /%category%/%postname%/

This will show your category and post title in the link for example:

http://www.amblogger.com/blogging-tips/how-to-install-wordpress/

In the above link, “blogging tips” is the category and “how to install wordpress” is the title of the post.

b). /%postname%/

This will only show the post title in the link, example:

http://www.amblogger.com/how-to-install-wordpress/

But this link will not work because I have the settings which are there in a).

If you will be using one of the above permalink settings then you will surely get good amount of traffic coming from search engines. You can also try other combinations, 4 options are already there.

I hope this post might be helpful for wordpress bloggers.

Happy Blogging …!

What is skype?

In simple words, skype is a software which is used to make free calls over the internet.

What is Skype Test Call or “echo123″?

To check whether your call settings are working fine or not, there is a test call option by skype.

How to make this test call and what does this test call do?

To make this test call, open skype and add “echo123″ in your skype messenger, it will add up a new user in your list, the name of the user will be Skype Test Call.

Now, to make sure that your call settings are working fine, call the Skype Test Call. An automatic testing robot will answer your call and will ask you to record your voice after the beep, then you can record your voice message for 10 seconds, after that it will echo back your voice message. This helps you to check that your microphone, headset, speakers or any other device which you are using for sending voice or receiving sound is working fine.

You can also send chat messages to that user, it will send you all your messages back, or in other words it will echo back your messages, but if you send a message “callme”, it will call you up and the same test robot will be there on the phone.

So, if you are new to skype, or if you want to check your skype call settings, do remember to make a call to Skype Test Call.
