Month for blogs. However,

In WordPress, I have the option to choose how the permanent URL looks like.

The common format is Year/Month/Day or Year/Month for blogs. However, I’ve occasionally seen some successful blogs take the date out, such as: mixergy.com/dane-maxwell-zannee-interview/
What’s the impact of the above format on SEO?

Obviously, it’s more pleasant on the eye but does it negatively impact search ranking?

Thank you

: Using _setDomainName overwrites the hostname - which means that you can no longer distinguish which subdomain the visit came to. More specifically sub.mydomain.co.za/index.html and www.mydomain.co.za/index.html

oh its way better to have your URL as the post title

simply edit the permalinks under the general settings

choose custom structure

then insert this string

/%postname%/

There's no REAL SEO value/impact with regards to this - there are many equally successful sites with both variations. If your blog becomes important enough, then it's worth having the date included (or a unique numeric number to abide by Google News guidelines) but other than that it's purely a personal preference.

It's worth pointing out that there are scalability issues around using %category% or %postname% only in the permalink structure, see ottopress.com/2010/category-in-permalinks-considered-harmful/ for more information
