One of the most important things that people consider when looking at content management systems (CMS) is their viability in the SEO market.
In fact, it’s becoming so important that people are sometimes afraid to choose a CMS on the basis that it may not be optimized enough for their needs.
To help fend off the confusion, we’ve put together a list of what we feel are some of the most SEO friendly content management systems on the market today.
Elxis, with it’s built in SEO Pro capabilities, is incredibly search engine friendly and definitely deserves its place on this list. Not only that, but in comparison to Joomla and Mambo, it far surpasses them.
There is also an SEO Book for Elxis.<!–more–>
More about SEO Pro:
“Elxis 2008 CMS has a powerful mechanism that produces search-engine and human friendly URLs. SEO PRO is not a component or some sort of additional software, it is an integral part of the Elxis core. Plus, it demands no additional settings other than its activation!
The URLs are automatically produced from Elxis, based on your SEO titles, that you type during the creation of an article, the addition of a link, the addition of a category, e.t.c. SEO PRO is equipped with an automatic suggestion and validation mechanism for SEO titles, that uses AJAX technology.
The internal functions of this mechanism allow the romanization of any word, in any language, in order to make it appropriate to use in a URL. SEO PRO is created especially for Elxis CMS and is exceptionally quick, because the whole front-end part has been optimized for the fastest creation of SEF URLs.
Finally, the backward compatibility has been maintained in order to use the classic 2006.x. SEO or to install a new software from a third party developer.
An additional range of features optimizes the website for search engines. During the creation of articles, and in case the meta data are not filled in, then they are automatically filled in by Elxis. Elxis also produces automatic multilingual meta data in dynamic pages like blogs, user profiles, links, e.t.c.
These data derive from the requested content. Elxis HTML code emphasizes important words or phrases of the content, and relates it with suitable HTML elements. For example, it uses h1 tags for the titles of the articles, h3 for the headers of the modules, e.t.c. In the end, all the links contain title tags, the images contain alt text, the form fields contain labels, e.t.c.
