Why Keywords Matter for SEO?

Rather than using long Permalink, simply add

Keywords-Matter-SEO or KeyWords-SEO in custom URL.

You can refer to guide on On page SEO to help you to understand how you can target Keywords.

Characters that you can use in custom URL field are (A-Z), (a-z),(0-1), dash, underscore and period. Never use underscore in permalink:

I personally believe that blogspot team should also work on stripping month and year but still their effort deserve a Welcome from BlogSpot bloggers.

I always say that never change permalink after publishing a post, unless you can set a 301 redirection.
