    A lot of times I want to use a content management package but am afraid to because of the SEO implications. (bad urls, title tags, links back to developer, etc...)

    What is the best CMS from an SEO perspective?

    From the research I did before i started my site, and based on my success, I would say that when used as directed, Drupal is very SEO friendly..

    Many CMS provide SEO components. But if you want SEO by default in the CMS :-

    Drupal - tops the list for sure

    WordPress - if you want something simple (more of blog style, though you can use as a CMS)

    I will add MODx into the list. It's easy to use and generates full MOD-Rewrite on the fly.

    Drupy is the King of CMS but almost like a programmers CMS because you need to know a lot of code. It's more like a CMS for a developer rather than an end user.

    Ive used Joomla for a while now and very happy with it although you need some extra components ( free ) to get it totally seo friendly.

    I havent looked too much at drupal , but agree with SuriCms - Wordpress is the best for a quick site.

    i'm not too sure of that... haha.. just kidding every one has their own favorite... ;)

    regarding page titles and url's most of uptodate CMS's now let you change the title per section and lots have a nice url features built in or easy to add on.

    i can personally speak for these CMS's which i have worked on loads... and sorry if i upset anyone with posting links but i just want to make a point... see the following links and notice how the url's are put together:

    wordpress url's:
    http://www.internetmediamarketing.net/making-money-online/reverse-engineering-adsense/

    joomla url's:
    http://www.solobromasychistes.com/bromas/frases-y-chistes/el-funeral-del-gato-2.html

    ezPublish url's:
    http://www.resa.es/esl/reservas/alojamiento_diario/

    drupal url's:
    http://www.recipesforhealthyfood.com/recipe/seafood/grilled-shrimp


    as u can see most opensource CMS now let you have nice url's and titles
