Best SEO friendly CMS software?

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone knows what the best SEO friendly CMS software out there? Also if you can link me to a site using this software as sort of "proof" that it can achieve high rankings in google? You can PM me the link if you want, I just want to make sure that the CMS really works.

Thanks

 

Wordpress for sure, Majority of blog using this CMS. Proof?? a lot! smashingmagazine.com,etc.

 

Maybe I wasn't specific enough. I know Wordpress is the best for blogging but I am talking about managing a website. More specifically, possibly an E-Commerce site as well. Although I am looking for software that can handle both e-commerce and non e-commerce.

 

I would go with Wordpress and then maybe have the ecommerce site be run by like Zencart or something like that. There is no such thing as a perfect CMS that can do everything you want it to. Just run them on different directories. Have WP in your site's root dir and your ecommerce stuff in like /store or something like that. Wordpress will play well with such a setup as long as you don't have articles/posts under /store.

I've tried a lot of different CMS's and WP handles most web content as good/better than the rest.

 

There is no doubt only answer is """""""""""""""""""VVord Press

 

http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/ is cool and the one I use.

 

Best?
Most of the popular CMS does help in achieving the Top results.
One's best might not be THE Best for you.
It always depends on how a project is developed, its objectives and marketing.

I would suggest you try out 1 - 3 popular CMS (to see how ease you can work with that CMS depending on your skills, to see if you like the features, and availability of templates and ease of matching the layout with your present layout - if any). Then you can select one which suits most of your requirements and which you can work with more ease (this depends on your skills).


Cheers

 

I used to be a big J! fan, but recently I've switched to WP for better SEO results.

 

I use Drupal and find that it does everything I need easily and also has a large selection of add-on modules to enhance it.

Plus, there is a good community around it if you need help.

But as others have said, try a few out and see what you like personally

 

Can recommend Magento commerce.

 

Blog: Wordpress

Website: Drupal www.drupal.org (not for n00bs)
CMS: Joomla

All 3 good!

 

Surely my choice is wordpress.

 

yes magento e-commerce installed as /store, or /shop or whatever you choose. do not install it as root if you want to run WP along side. it will redirect everything from the root to its own index.php unless you tell it otherwise. It too has a built in CMS for managing store content. It is one of the most popular e-commercie platforms out there. has knocked off os-commerce in a short time. Best of all its open source, free, and well documented on their site

http://www.magentocommerce.com

 

Wordpress is great for SEO. Drupal is really powerful and flexible but can be tough to theme without devoting a good chunk of time to learning it. I've used Drupal, Wordpress, and Joomla in the past, and an internet magazine I'll be launching in the next few weeks will be run on Wordpress.

The problem with Drupal is that the time it takes to modify things could just as easily be spent writing a CMS from scratch. I think it actually suffers from over-extensibility.

 

yeah...really agree that wordpress is the best. many proof of it.

 

It seems I'm still not making myself clear to some. I know Word Press is the best for blogging no one needs to tell me that

If people are going to keep mentioning wordpress please link me to a site that uses WP that LOOKS like a website 100% and not a blog. Also does it have backend and front end modules to run as a fully 100% effecient e-commerce site? If not, then please.. I don't want to hear anymore about WP thnk u

The people who are mentioning Drupal, Joomla ect.. seem to be on the right track on what I am looking for for website management. I keep hearing that Drupal is the best CMS for SEO but how user friendly is the backend? It seems complicated to me. Joomla seems to have a more user-friendly backend. Does anyone know of any Joomla sites that rank well for certain keywords?

http://www.magentocommerce.com This is a good find! Thanks for this. How does Magento compare to other ecommerce sites such as ZenCart, OSCommerce ect.. in terms of SEO?

Thank you all for your help!

 

I use zencart.
the is wall!

 

DigitalChris you already know what you want

For other people; Joomla, drupal and wordpress all are good. But what website you want and how much time/skill you have?
Are you updating your website regualry, is it a blog? choose wordpress.

Back to DigitalChris, I think you want; seo friendly, web 2.0, and user-friendly management; joomla
If you want to sell: magentocommerce (very friendly; seo, mangement, user) looks very promising. i already put OSCommerce a side

 

I will be implementing a Magento Site for a client, I chose it over os commerce due to popularity and tons of product options. lots of support on their site. good amount of templates & plugins out there too. I you give this another day or so i can let you take a look at a clean slate install running on her dedicated server. I just set up a dedicated duocore/2 gig ram Fedora box. dedicated is the way to go as this platform is JS heavy. but it uses advanced caching and can handle good loads.

 

Do you have a dedicated mysql server too?
