Well, its in the title. I tried playing with different SEO Plugins but they arent touching the way the url is displayed. I would like it to be something like "Main_words_in_pagetitle" and not "pg_id=32".

Any help would be appreciated

^Correct

- go to your AdminCP
- Click on the Settings tab
- Look down on the list and click "Permalinks"
- Adjust to what you want to display. I use this for most my blogs

/%category%/%postname%.php

that way if the category is related to your KW then it will help your SEO

good luck
