regarding SEO, joomla is a nightmare right now and not for the faint of heart. Look for major seo improvements in Joomla 1.6 but until then…you need either the patches or a number of plugins. (probably not both).

I suspect Joomla has way more plugins than those others, but yea, it can get out of hand easily if you install too many. Backup frequently along the way (both files AND db). Joomla is the one for complex portals, and for ease of operation on the admin side (for your clients). Every plugin is a PROJECT in progress, some are active with frequent updates (ie: Fabrik, Community Builder) , some are abandoned projects unfortunately (rsGallery). Those other 2 CMS are not really in the same league, except for basic blog sites, but that’s just my humble opinion, forgive me don’t flame me. The Joomla community is just HUGE and very active, with some amazing programmers for sure. I plan on trying out the other 2 soon as I get a chance, or a project that calls for a blog site, but I don’t see any comparison for portal dev.

Corephp requires all plug-ins to be modded to work so that ruled that out as an option. I am sure I can just add a rewrite rule to my Wordpress .htaccess file which is installed in my root directory to remove /joomla from the URL.

@Mike Law: I read about the corephp component several weeks ago. The yearly license is a drawback for me to start using it, but the component itself does seem to integrate well with Joomla!

At the moment I see more and more templates for Joomla! getting more optimized for loading times and web standards as a year ago so it seems the developers are growing just as Joomla! itself.

By the way I found this product which although expensive and you can only get a yearly license, seems to do what I need. Have just contacted support to clarify a couple of things. http://www.corephp.com

I stumbled across this post as I am looking to see if it is possible to run both Joomla and Wordpress from the root directory. As Tracy stated, the htaccess files conflict therefore I am not sure if it is possible. Unless you can tell both CMS’s to ignore the others code in the htaccess file somehow?

In regards to your post, I can only compare Joomla with Wordpress as I have only dabbled with Drupal. Both are just as good as each other out of the box however once you start plugging components into Joomla it can get a bit messy.

Also in my experience it is harder to find attractive templates for Joomla which are also well optimized. You seem to get on or the other.

Great article, for SEO CMS, I’d like WordPress because his code source is more nicely than Joomla. Excerpt option is great for avoid duplicated content in category. Howerver I don’t like the category type of WordPress, but we can use the plugin in “no base catagory”
For Drupal, like it’s difficult to change the title and the meta tags and their hiearchive, then I don’t care much abour this CMS.
Thank for your great article

@Tracy Phaup: I use WordPress in a seperate directory and have setup a subdomain for this blog.

In the root directory of Joomla you should use the .htaccess file that comes with the SEF extension you are using.
In the subdirectory you have to make sure that the WordPress .htaccess is created and that the file contains the /blog/ path as the Rewritebase.

You can find more information on my other site http://www.pathos-seo.com/joomla-seo-optimization/joomla-seo-and-htaccess-files.html

As it seems that you are using MojoBlog on your site, you might want to check out my article on using sh404SEF with MojoBlog on http://joomlablogging.wordpress.com/2008/05/08/using-sh404sef-improve-mojoblog-sef-seo/

I hope these will help you sotring things out.

I’m trying to get Joomla and Wordpress set up to work together, both having SEF urls, but I haven’t been able to do it. I realize that both want to use the htaccess and the commands are conflicting, but I haven’t been able to resolve it.

How do you do it?

TIA,
Tracy
