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!

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_PermalinksThen read this post on ways to setup your permalinks:

Does homepage SEO exist at all?
hi Just read a Yoast article explaining that the homepage should never be optimized for a specific keyword and should only be optimized for its business or brand name. i have a large site that I'd like to rank (or increase traffic for as I know people get irritated with that term now) for 'Campervan hire'. It has plenty of sub pages going after 'Campervan hire 'location'' for example. it makes sense to me for the homepage keyword - my core keyword - to be 'Campervan hire' and for the homepage to be optimised for this. However, the article I've just read (https://yoast.com/homepage-seo/) suggests a separate page for this keyword. What are your thoughts pls?? thanks

Pages indexed but not seen in wordpress
Hi there, the crawler of SEOMOZ has detected that some pages have no title or a short metadescription. The problem is that I can't see these pages in wordpress (in the backend). These pages are irrelevant and must be deleted but I can't find them. How could they be indexed by the Googlebot? Where can I find them? Any hint? Thanks all.
