SEO Friendly CMS

More and more websites are moving to content management systems to control their site content. Many off-the-shelf content management systems don’t account for crucial SEO techniques to be implemented.

Why a Search Engine-Friendly CMS?
“Dynamic content (the kind of content generated from a CMS) and the search engines have had a long, rocky relationship.  That’s because when a typical CMS generates dynamic content, it creates long URLs with variables that the search engines may have difficulty interpreting. In some cases, the search engines flat-out ignore these URLs.”

Some features of a SEO-friendly CMS include:

  • Ability to manually optimize Meta-tags, page titles, H1 tags, etc.
  • Generate short and clean URLs
  • Session ID storing in cookie, not the URL

“If you want control over your site, but also the ability for it do well in the search engines and grow with your business, then do yourself and your business a huge favor: take a pass on the CMS freebies and invest in a flexible, search engine-friendly CMS that will help you to generate long-lasting results.”
