Seo friendly urls are a bit of a myth, SEs don't care. Do waht you suggest - but do it because humans will react better. Google doesn't care ...

You should also check out Seo Post Link wordpress plugin - it removes unnecessery words like "the" from the slug. Shorter url is better url.

Great tips. I never really thought about how the permalink would affect my seo. I always thought about the content and keywords and also the fact that I should use words instead of php links but never really thought about what they should be saying.

Nice post, thanks for the information.
How long does it usually take for a new blog to generate traffic. I've had my blog for a couple days now, allaboutstocksandfinance.com, and there has been very minimal traffic. How long should I expect to wait?

This is why I use blogger. I abandoned a wordpress blog that I had because it wasn't very user friendly for me and they wanted me to pay for everything that blogger offers for free. I have no problems with my slugs and blogger is owned by google. So even on the rare days that I am not writing a post with SEO in mind, google picks up that post and puts it on the 1st page, generally towards the top and generally within 1-3 days. I'd say that that's a bad thing except that google is used for 67% of searches. Yahoo comes in second at 27%. Not trying to make enemies here - just offering my perspective.

This was an awesome post, I definitely want to see #3! I, along with many others, it seems, was enlightened to how to do the 301 redirects along with the Google News tip. I was already using the default slug, but did not change the individual posts. Looks like I have some tweaking to do now. Don't worry, I won't forget the redirects ;)

For you Typepad users out there, I think I figured out how to do something similar to what Andy's talking about. It requires some design decisions because making changes to the "slug" aka the file name URL, changes the look of the page.

On the TP template above the write post window is "Title" window. I've never used it because it places extra large text above the blog post, but it does serve as the "Title" tag for the post/page.

When you "name" your post, not to be confused with the title, this then becomes your slug. It is limited to 15 characters including spaces. Once you've named your post, you cannot go back and change it. You can, however, go back and add page "Titles," if you want more keyword relevance.

Another thing about TP, the category pages are default page titles in the search results, so at the very least, you want to be naming your categories with keywords.

For me, it's a stylistic decision, only because my blog ranks for any number of keywords related to male midlife crisis.

But I will try this on my new blog, Bruise-Control.com since the audience is much broader.

Hope this helps anyone who's continuuing to read this thread.

Every WP install that i do one of the immediate tweaks that i do is that I change the permalink slugs to just display the postname. You have control over keywords when using postname permalinks. I am also a firm believer that keyword rich permalinks get great results and rankings. Also to keep in mind that the order of keywords used in the permalinks can affect your rankings as well.

@Nicolette - I don't use Typepad, so can't offer any help. Does it offer the ability to change your slugs? The advice above is cross-platform, but you may need to adapt the implementation to your specific blog software.
