% Year% /%% buwan /% postname% /
Which is the one I use in this blog, but you can put any other believe that timely as this:
/ Archive /% postname%. Xhtml
That is what got in TuM
Titles of the page
The title of the post has to be also the title of the page, for example myself this post I entitled Wordpress and SEO, and if we look the title of the page you will see that puts the name of the blog and acontinuación the title of the post, perhaps more advisable to put the title first and then the name of the Blog, but I like more the case, the important thing is to show you the title, here you put the piece of code that you have to put in header.php to get it, you can change it your needs or tastes.
<title>
<? Php wp_title ( ”);>
<? Php if (wp_title ( ”, false)) (> | <? Php)>
<? Php bloginfo ( ‘name’);>
</ Title>
Tags
Search engines are more into account the labels h1, h2, h3… that eg p l…, so it is important that you write good titles and posts that contain key words that describe the content. It is best to have only one or two h1 tags on each page, for example the blog title and the last blog post.

If you typically read articles from my Blog you may have noticed that after every post puts Tickets related, it helps search engines to further deepen your blog, and readers can read more things with the same subject that may be of interest. I use the plug-related posts.
Landing Sites
When visitors come to your site from a search engine are looking for something specific, and if we do not find him in the first cursory look at the blog shut the window and not come back. So goes well relate your search with your post to your blog, and for that we need the plug landing sites.
Sitemaps
Google has a feature for webmasters, called Sitemaps. This helps google to put an index on your site, and see that content is the most important. There is a plugin you generates a Sitemaps Google and the other for the recent Yahoo Sitemap.
Pings automatic
In the codex Wordpress there is a huge list of addresses for pinging you can add to your blog in section Options>> Scripture, down altogether, so that your blog makes automatic pings to these sites every time you post.
