    Hi

    Just a quick question.

    How does mambo, joomla, etc.. stand up againts a simple html webpage in terms of Search Engine Optimisation?

    So if i want my site to get the highest google ranking possible would I be better to create my own html site instead of using a cms??

    Cheers

    B2

    Search engines can index anything these days, however, you can use a htaccess file to use mod_rewrite and have your pages come up as Search Engine Friendly. You can also add an SEF component to the CMS's you mentioned above so the pages will be indexed as .html

    I have found the above effective with Google and MSN

    with the Joomla etc and teh SEF coms you can event rename the urls so instead of having
    www.gooo.com/products.html
    you can have
    www.gooo.com/wow_come_and_get_me_products.html

    Exactly, on a shameless plug, my site (In my sig) is using Joomla and the SEF module.

    Alternatively, you can use your .htaccess to make one as custom as you like.
