I like Joomla, Drupal, WordPress and Typo3, all Open Source Content Management Systems. But which ones are Search Engine Friendly? Or are they Search Engine Optimized? To be honest, Joomla in the latest version 1.0.12 is not Search Engine Friendly, the new Beta 1.5 version is much more Friendly from a Search Engine Point of view.

Getting into Speed with your Website
I wrote some articles lately on using a Cache Component for your Joomla based website. Now why do you want to use caching if you are Optimizing your website for Search Engines?
