What is Permalink
Permalink is short for permanent Link, this term is used to refer to the URL of a site page such as a static page and a post page.
Permalink itself appears automatically when we are making a new post on our blog, the form of permalink is a unique ID that will appear when we make a post. An example of a unique ID like this is postID = NUMBER-UNI-ID-POST which if we post this unique code will change to the title of our blog post. For more details, check the picture below.
White writing is the URL of the blog's domain name and for the yellow writing, that's called Permalink.

Will the Code Affect Your Blog SEO
Yes, maybe after adding the code above it will have a bad impact on our blog which results in a decrease in visitors and the quality of blogs in the eyes of search engines. i do not recommend the above code because basically, the default permalink is currently the best for bloggers, so we should continue to refer to the policies provided by Google so that our blog remains safe especially if the blog uses Adsense.
But if a friend who is not concerned with SEO and wants his blog look different from Blogspot in general, it never hurts to try, just think of it as a learning material for something new.
