Hello Everyone,

I am looking for an SEO-friendly CMS program. Until now I have built my sites the old traditional way. (Plain HTML editor).
The new site I am about to launch will be massive and cannot be managed without a decent CMS program.

I am not looking for a free CMS, but rather a company that has an SEO-friendly CMS and that provides support if needed.

Your feedback will be highly appreciated.

Drupal is relatively seo friendly and is open source. It can be heavily modded to suit your needs.

The best option for you would be to get a CMS developed for yourself, according to your SEO expectations and the functionality required.
The article CMS in my signature is a custom development.

Some free ones available are wordpress, which can be made quite seo friendly with the use of additional plugins and there's a forum available for support. Plus many other designers and users can provide you help with it.

Joomla, mambo are other popular ones. Support via forum.

You will also be able to find some good ones at hotscripts.com
Bye

I'd recommend Drupal

Wordpress

Any cms with a mod_rewrite, and a couple of well thought out code stragedies...

The SEO community seem to like Drupal.

I have been using PHPNuke for a long time. Yeah, it sucks for SEO. But, i did notice with Nuke that google loves the survey pages. If you put a survey in the left blocks it helps your homepage.

I say Wordpress also, very good seo urls (see my blog for an example) and its easy to use.

Ugh...Another one of those XRumer spammers. The typical 3 posts with very vague general questions, and links in his signature. (See...)

Wow!!! I'm amazed that these are the best CMS options that the world has to offer ...Free or paid! None of these options are very robust.

If I could find a reasonably priced CMS system that had the SEO friendlyness of Django Ellington (ellingtoncms.com) with the cross-linking of inform.com, I would be a very happy man.

I think I see my next business idea ;-)

I just posted a followup thread.
