Simply put, permalinks allow you to design the way your website links appear, by default they look like this;

http://mydomain.com/?p=12

The "?p=" part of the link references a post or page ID which isn't very useful unless you know the ID for every page on your website. It's a good idea to adjust the link appearance to something more practical such as;

http://mydomain.com/contact/

The best setup with the Permalinks structure /%postname%/ as in our experience this is best for SEO and user navigation.
