What I love with wordpress is that you get lots of plugins for free and that it is always updated frequently. It is very easy to use and gives you great quality.

I understand it’s not just a blogging platform. I just think too many people try to use WP where other things are a much better fit. As the adage goes … when the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

I personally think it’s a great piece of software. But anything over a small handful of well known plugins, it’s far too risky, IMO. When you start to get an excessive amount of code from various sources, you wind up with either a) a serious maintenance headache, or b) unpatched, vulnerable code. Neither is a good scenario.

You can do pretty much whatever you want with WordPress. It’s not just a blogging platform.

Good article. I’m actually amazed at the lack of SEO support in many of the big name CMS products. I’ve tried quite a few, but usually wind up going with a managed solution (my managed cms or similar) to avoid the the install/upgrade/hosting overhead.

On a side note, I’m not sure WordPress can be considered a CMS, per se. WordPress is awesome if you’re running a blog, with a few accompanying pages. Just kinda seems like it doesn’t fit since the other CMSes you listed are more for non-blog-centric websites that *may* have a blog.

Thanks for the concise summary of those SEO friendly CMS packages and blogging platforms, we found your article helpful. For transparency, I need to state that I am the President & CEO of an SEO friendly CMS company called Pixelsilk. Similar to what you stated above, you can get out of Pixelsilk what you put in. You have FULL control of the HTML and the architecture has SEO best practices built in from the ground up. Some of the most well known names in the SEO industry had their hand in the requirements planning from the beginning of the project. After its release in February 2009, they have publicly endorsed Pixelsilk. It does have a multi-tenant control panel if you manage multiple sites and you can easily levergage your work from one project to the next with the use of tokens. The interface is easy, clean, and simple but, then again, I am biased . If you have any interest, there is a short product tour video on our site at http://www.pixelsilk.com.
