Wordpress SEO

Wordpress offers owners key requirements for SEO, however like all websites, SEO shouldn’t be something that you bolt-on, but instead should be something that build into the design from day one. In terms of Wordpress this equates to not only turning on various modules, but also deciding on your page and article structure in order to enhance your SEO.

Clearly if your pages, categories, and tags are not relevant to you main keywords then clearly this would pollute the SEO you are trying to achieve. Often before starting your website, be it Wordpress or otherwise, you should think clearly about what you want to achieve and even, perhaps, take a good long look at your competitors. What have do done well, how effective has it been; what have they done badly, and what has been the results of this.

In our opinion Wordpress offers some of the most effective SEO add-on’s available for any CMS or Blog, with many other being developed independently as we speak now. It also offers you the tools that you need in order to plan and implement effective SEO for your website (tags, categories, fancy-URLs, etc).

Joomla! is a free open source content management system for publishing content on the World Wide Web and intranets. The system includes features such as page caching to improve performance, RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news flashes, blogs, polls, website searching, and language internationalisation. Joomla is licensed under the GPL (general purpose license), and is the result of a fork of Mambo.

The name Joomla officially ends with an exclamation mark, but this is commonly omitted.

It is written in the PHP programming language and uses the MySQL database by default.
