    Word press SEO question

    Currently I have my permalinks set the standard way

    domain.com/?p=144

    I would like to change them to use the titles
    domain.com/title/

    is this going to fuck up my existing pages if I change it to use titles?

    I already make it to the front page for a great keyword and I would like to get all the rest of my individual posts spidered

        I have seen it mess up some old permalinks, but that was an older version of WP.

                    That's a good solution in case if you're absolutely sure your post names are unique.

                      I think that WP adds a number to any multiple posts that are named exactly the same... at least in the url

                          You shouldn't run into any problems. I don't know why they don't make SEO friendly URLs the default.

                            Nope, not if you use/%postname%/, the number doesn't appear automatically.

                            I'd recommend

                            /%postname%-%post_id%.html

                            instead. So your titles are always unique, since the post_id is a unique number and you got a .html instead of a directory, which speeds up the indexing.
