Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, etc. ? Which content management system do you think is designed more for Google and rankings? I would guess Wordpress, any thought?
Any CMS after SEO! It really doesnt matter if you do proper SEO. In my 8 years practise I have seen all CMS ranked well, the only exception are websites based on ASPX scripts which usually needs about 2 more months to reach the top.
I think Wordpress has the best built in SEO- for site structure, pr flow, and page titles. Drupal is a great content management system if you need a bit more community involvement, but I don't like that their comment system requires users to be members, and doesn't make the commentors username a link to their website(wordpress's system of allowing commentors to link to their website really promotes commenting). Joomla is dieing, look at their Alexa graph compared with wordpress and durpal(which are growing nicely). If you are thinking long term I wouldn't go with joomla. Drupal and Wordpress just have so many more and nicer skins/templates, plugins/moduels, and developers working on them. They all rank fine. Wordpress is the best all around one though imo, its the best cms ever built I think.
