A mere online presence won’t serve the purpose of reaching out and impressing your target audience, to beat the competition you need a well designed website with a good search rank and for that you need help of companies which provide complete solutions in website designing and development and search engine optimization.

i have no idea on the seo component.. but installing a component and that component modify all ulr format in the entire cms doesn’t sound nice..

seo should be developed inside out, not outside in.

what started the blog trend first ? seo : blogger uses push cms which is 1001% seo friendly especially google. so does wordpress.. i don’t think blogs could be hot cakes in this amount of time if not because of seo. so does blogs revenue. how would foreigner found about liewcf site ? google.

i guess i am still stuborn to said mambo is still “down” in template/deisgn/layout. besides, i’ve been googling around the mambo “community support” site.. stil, doesn’t make me feel comfortable :p.. especially looking for free available templates.

i hope liewcf could share his result when he implement it..

I much prefer XOOPS or even PostNuke. Mambo is great but looks like the cut-down (read cheap) version of it’s full fledge commercial (read “must pay”) CMS.

XOOPS rocks!!

well, it’s not truly optimized for SE. it only provide SEF url, it’s core is still not friendly to SE. In term of SEO, Drupal do better than Mambo. Although it’s interface is really easy to use, but i think it uses too much javascript :/

Besides Drupal, you may also try exponentCMS (http://www.exponentcms.org). But some shared hosting users maybe cant meet its requirement.

I agree cchiuyi on Wordpress for SEO. You know, I guess there are SEO experts behind WordPress. WP is build for SEO!

Like boringest said, for mambo, you can install some components or tweak your template to be search engine friendly.

There are SEO components/modules that you can install…also if u just want a basic one just use the one under global configuration and rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess, read the manual for more info.

mambo’s my first cms & i find it really easy to use once you’ve read the manual. furthermore, the community’s great and very helpful as well.

i’ve been looking this kind of CMs for a long time. first it was phpnuke, but its not seo friendly and later charges the users.. but phpnuke is not bad lah, ..

then i found mambo “the 1st open source cms”… i found it quite hard at the begining especially the structure and the admin stuff..

but i am not satsified with it for some reasons. first, desiging and free templates is not a simple thing here. second ,if i am not wrong, its still uses “dynamic link” whihc means its not seo friendly. seo friendly element is a very important factor in a website. it affects directly to the revenue.

thne i found that, even wordpress is not a bad thing to become a cms. of coz for a smaller sites that has little products. wordpress offers very good support. its has the themes. and best of all, it has the seo friendly url. e.g. liewcf.com will not be that high rank is not because of this feature, liewcf.com will not be earning usd1k + if not because of this feature.

please correct me if i am wrong about seo friendly factor in mambo. and anone who has a better view or solution please drop a note. thankz.

I am going to try my hands on them. Of course, not the installation but converting my current static (aka dead) looking site to something ‘alive’. Will watch out for more information from you.

I have tried mambo…it seems pretty hard to use…I don’t know why…….maybe I am quite lousy in this stuff……but I think using a CMS to run your company is a good way and could be easily customizes once it is done….and there is a lot of support out there.

Make your own template is not hard. just some photoshop works and a mambo extension for dreamweaver, it’s done! But it is not W3C CSS/XHTML validated as drupal
