What is the best SEO friendly CMS platform?
-
Would like to build some content sites and would appreciate some guidance on what you believe to be the most SEO friendly CMS platform. I'm also hoping to find something that doesn't require much HTML and is pretty easy to jump into.

Totally Agree and Yoast have recently updated this plugin.

Agree with Ryan - it sounds like Wordpress.org would be the right fit. I've used that on some personal sites and I've worked with Drupal on larger corporate sites. You would definitely need someone with intermediate, or higher, development skills to use a platform such as Drupal.
There are any number of plugins that you could use for Wordpress that will help manage key SEO fundamentals. I've found All In One SEO to be a pretty decent Wordpress plugin, FWIW. Good luck!

Great. Thanks.

You are fast! I had just edited my reply and I think you read it before I made the change.
There is wordpress.com where your site is hosted by wordpress, and wordpress.org where you host your own site. Wordpress is a blog platform and, as such, it meets the definition of a Content Management System.
Some sites have extended the functionality of the software far beyond blogs, but you are right. At it's core it is a blog platform.

Thanks. I always thought of WordPress is more of a blog platform.
Are there differemt types of WordPress platforms to work with?

Based on your description I would recommend WordPress. It is the most popular CMS in the world, has a few good SEO plugins, and requires less knowledge to get going with then other software. As with any software, the more you know the more you can do with it.
I should also add WordPress is primarily blog software but you can do other things with it. Other CMS software such as Joomla and Drupal offers more functionality, but they are significantly more complex.

How Progressive Enhancement Will be Helpful for SEO?
We have bundle of webpages where we load the content dynamically with the help of Ajax. Since we, need to implement Ajax crawl scheme for making Google to read those Ajax dynamic content we planned to go with hashbang URL's (!#) by creating HTMl snapshots. But last week Google withdrawn their support on crawling the Ajax crawling scheme we are planning to go with progressive enhancement approach as stated by Google in a press release. So, I just want to know what is meant by progressive enhancement and how we can implement in the case of webpages where we load the content dynamically with the help of Ajax? Please advice me on this.

Multi-page articles, pagination, best practice...
A couple months ago we mitigated a 12-year-old site -- about 2,000 pages -- to WordPress.
Web Design | | jmueller0823
The transition was smooth (301 redirects), we haven't lost much search juice. We have about 75 multi-page articles (posts); we're using a plugin (Organize Series) to manage the pagination. On the old site, all of the pages in the series had the same title. I've since heard this is not a good SEO practice (duplicate titles). The url's were the same too, with a 'number' (designating the page number) appended to the title text. Here's my question: 1. Is there a best practice for titles & url's of multi-page articles? Let's say we have an article named: 'This is an Article' ... What if I name the pages like this:
-- This is an Article, Page 1
-- This is an Article, Page 2
-- This is an Article, Page 3 Is that a good idea? Or, should each page have a completely different title? Does it matter?
** I think for usability, the examples above are best; they give the reader context. What about url's ? Are these a good idea? /this-is-an-article-01, /this-is-an-article-02, and so on...
Does it matter? 2. I've read that maybe multi-page articles are not such a good idea -- from usability and SEO standpoints. We tend to limit our articles to about 800 words per page. So, is it better to publish 'long' articles instead of multi-page? Does it matter? I think I'm seeing a trend on content sites toward long, one-page articles. 3. Any other gotchas we should be aware of, related to SEO/ multi-page? Long post... we've gone back-and-forth on this a couple times and need to get this settled.
Thanks much! Jim0 -
What is the best tool to view your page as Googlebot?
Our site was done with asp.net and a lot of scripting. I want to see what Google can see and what it can't. What is the best tool that duplicates Googlebot? I have found several but they seem old or inaccurate.

I've set up my own site which is still fairly new but I'm a bit concerned that there is a bloackage SEO wise somewhere because when I try to crawl the site on SEOmoz it only crawls one page.
I'm really baffled and none of my research has shed much light on it. My url is www.emporiumofmanliness.co.uk I'd really appreciate any help! Thanks
