NOTE! Do not import dummy content if you have an existing site, as this will mix it into your existing content.

Enabling pretty permalinks is good for SEO. Why? Because it makes permalinks readable, its no longer just a number and ID. If you have a custom permalink structure, its best not to select this option.
