Search Engine Optimization of CMS

freedomfries - May 1, 2009 - 20:21

Once Drupal is installed and running on your web site host (the Internet), how do you perform search engine optimization (SEO)?

Is there a way in Drupal 6.XX to have a search engine index its pages? Is there a way to export pages so that a search engine can index your pages? It seems to me that I missed asking this question before I installed Drupal but after reading some on the subject of indexing CMS systems, most, if not all CMS systems fall short in this category.

Since pages are created on the fly, it seems to me that all search engines would have trouble indexing your pages unless there is a way to export your web content for indexing? Is that possible with Drupal? If so, can anyone tell me how to do that? If not, what do you guys and gals use to get your web pages listed in the search engines and increase your search rankings? I am not talking about keywords here. I am talking about indexing pages that are only returned on the fly.

Thanks for your help!

Not true. Not a problem.
