Curious…a friend asked if I had SEO insights in to choosing among Drupal, Joomla, and Wordpress to build a dozen sites.

Wordpress has nice seo plugins for page and site optimization, and it has xml sitemap functionality. And the easy integration with Google Analytics makes a difference over the long haul if you are optimizing a site for search.

(I have worked a bit in DotNetNuke…the newer versions do support meta-tagging well and have an xml sitemap builder built in. That said, my experience in getting the xml sitemap to include all the pages, or event the majority of the pages, has been mixed…am trying a new module this week.)

Haven’t worked much in either Drupal or Joomla, though. Would be grateful to hear comments related to SEO strengths and challenges related to working in either of these very powerful CMS’s.
