    Wordpress is a easy to setup and use as a simple CMS.

    Drupal of course does loads of stuff that Wordpress won't. Depends how much sophistication you want.

    Hi for all, thanks for the replys... =)

    My problem is this:
    I have a wordpress blog in brazil...i make them strongly in seo...all in CSS, h1, titles, internal links, backlinks. etc...

    But i have a problem:

    I write one post...after one or two day, i take the top page on google !
    But nothing is perfect... in three our four days, i down to 4, 5 page, of google...
    Is very, very instable results with my blog, in all keywords, but my concorrents, not using wordpress, inclusively drupal, continue in top pages...

    And

    I suspect, the problem is the CMS:

    http://blog.design-cars.com/does-google-look-at-your-website-generator/

    somebody have the same problem with wordpress?

    And Drupal positions in SE, are very much instable?

    Grateful, and sorry for my bad english =/

    I use both joomla and wp and I think both are better than Drupal in SEO.

    just my 2 cents!

    Pick the light one with less code.. do not forget w3 compatibility.. I think WP is lighter...


    Thanks

    Drupal is more seo friendly out of the box. LEarning curve might be steep. wp is easy to install and easy to use. my 2 cents

    many modules for drupal...like individual page titles, meta tags etc....very good seo out of the box. Has a steep learning curve tho. I am starting to like it.

    There's no difference between the two since they're both content management systems (one is a more traditional CMS, while the other's geared towards bloggers) when it comes to the ability of search engines to spider and index those sites.

    And no, I didn't read the entire thread. I'm at a public library right now (visiting family) and will be leaving in about five minutes for the night.

    No need to be sorry about your English... it's cool.

    Now, I don't think your problem has anything to do with picking either Drupal or WordPress - they are both ok. I think it might be more a matter of competition perhaps?

    I read that article and I doubt that google would favour either one... besides - if google pays favourites - why not do it in the first time it sees your page?

    I've used wordpress and it has worked fine for me.

    @Wordd
    I wrote the Post in may of this year, and since I removed the WordPress Metatag description my Ranking stay reasonably stable.
    But that might also have something to do with content of the site...

    You could give it try, just remove the Metatag from form you Theme file and see what happens.

    To bad you don't give a URL, so we could see what might be off form an SEO Point of view.

    As for the Choice of Drupal or WordPress, both are great as it comes to Search Engine Optimization.
    But both needs some extra, just like Joomla.
    For WordPress you should use the Permalink and a Plugin like All-in-One-SEO-Pack
    Drupal needs Clean URLs active and Pathauto.

    There is alway more about SEO than Just making your CMS Search Engine Friendly

    Depending on your needs go for WordPress if you want to Blog, Joomla for fast creation of a Website and Drupal of you need to have a Stabile Framework for large scale website with more Editors..

    If your are beyond that stage... check Typo3
