Search Engine Optimisation

Post by jameshontishar »

:)

Hi all.

I have just found CMSMS and absolutley love it!!!!

I have a question with reagrds to Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).

So far i have just built a site with just a few pages, added a few mods, but not really done anything else with it.

I was thinking of buying a SEO package from Fasthosts  http://www.fasthosts.co.uk/hosting/webs ... marketing/


Is it worth it or can i do the same sort of thing within cmsms with little or no knowledge

don't spend money on that one mate. CMSMS is built from the ground up to be se-friendly. All my sites built with CMSMS are scoring high in Google, especially with the clean url's switched on.

Yes, you don't need money.
You need true content. Have a look at Google webmaster's guidelines.

See "Pretty URLs" on the wiki

RTFM -;)
what do you mean by true content
I mean : don't try to lure bots to get traffic. Make a good site, with interesting content, so people will like it and come back. And other webmasters will link to it. And your ranking will improve.
