[wp-hackers] Permalink Structure - Performance vs. SEO

Realmente existe uma vantagem na estrutura ano/mes/nome do post em relação a
id/ nome do post, mas esta só se aplica no caso do link ser repassado
verbalmente ou anotado em um papel e acredito que menos de 1% da troca de
links acontece dessa forma.

Um argumento utilizado para defender a estrutura categoria/ nome do post é a
criação de um caminho na URL e que isso seria importante em termos de
indexação. Vi o conteúdo indicado pelo amigo Christopher Ross onde Matt
Cutts diz que a profundidade das palavras chaves na URL não importa, mas
neste caso não se trataria apenas de profundidade mas tmbém de um caminho
que categoriza o conteúdo. Não sei até que ponto isso pode ser importante na
URL.
