        There is no secret key to getting nice rankings with just permalinks. It however can help your SEO to do them right.
        Your questions is phrased in away it's hard to identify what exactly you want to accomplish. I suggest you read about permalinks first at: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

        Then read this post on ways to setup your permalinks:

          I personally use /%postname%/ in my Wordpress blogs.

          Reasons for this:

          • Keeps the URL short. Short URLs are easier to share (and perhaps remember)
          • Ensures you have only keywords in the URL (post dates, post IDs are redundant)
          • Better alternative to /%category%/%postname%/, unless you are sure you will never change the category of your post. If at some point you are "spring-cleaning" your blog and changing the categories of your posts, it will affect the URL of your posts, thereby affecting SEO.

          You can manually edit the permalink of each post in Wordpress now, which makes it even easier to ensure you include keywords, and keep it short (in case you have a long postname).

          Hope that helps!
