We have Search Engine Optimization built-in

I’ve been investigating content management systems and templated based web programs lately. On just about every product I see is the popular phrase Search Engine Optimization enabled. Better yet, our product is SEO friendly.

SEO is very important to your website. Let’s remember why SEO is so important. Google is a search engine that reads web pages. Everybody wants top listings in the search engine results page. The important word here is web pages. The Search Engine Optimization should be for the design of the web pages, not the website. What I’m seeing is SEO for the entire web site. Every page with the same title, the same keywords and the same description. Kinda like how WordPress does it right out of the box, with no plug-ins.

Is it Site-Wide, or Per Page? So if your a business owner, and investigating CMS or Template systems BEWARE. Find out if they are search engine optimization for the entire site, or for each page on your web site.

You want per page SEO capabilities NOT site wide capabilities.

When working with WordPress, I recommend the All-IN-One SEO Plug-In and Courtney Tuttle’s Theme Keyword Sniper 1.0.

    What I’m noticing is that people don’t realize that Google doesn’t rank websites. Google ranks pages. The biggest hint is that their rating system is called Page Rank. Not Site Rank.

    So true vinny. some sites have higher PR pages inside their site, versus their index page. Thanks for the comment.

    By the way, my BLOG ranks, not my index, for now anyway.

    Some great points on the per page and not site wide. Site SEO is important, but it needs to be brought down to the page level.

    I personally love WP, with a couple of plugins, has great SEO
