I have several clients that I had build .NET extensions to and the experience I had was terrible and tiresome. In fact if you create a site based on .NET technology, you get way better solution than the other one.

If you want to create a forum, or newsroom or membership area, then Joomla can be useful, because you create the whole system easy. Creating the navigation structure is effortless. In one condition that you understand and know how it works and have some knowledge of HTML.
You can put articles to expire after a time, activate dates, breadcrumbs, author name and so on. However there are some major seo problems with Joomla.

For those who do not have knowledge of web design and HTML, joomla has a big learning curve. The Javascript and CSS can get bulky. The load time is way too slow which does not match with Google’s standards today. As we all know Google emphasizes on speed and Joomla is not your choice if you want to get ranking. Joomla cost you money. The programming and development is clumsy and if you want to change you layout, you are in trouble. If you want to implement some plug ins you have to pay money.

The complexity of Joomla is its strong point and weakness. I wrote an article earlier about Joomla and its drawbacks which was published worldwide. I received many responses from people who have been using Joomla and admitted that the facts I pointed out were so true. As some of you may know Joomla was presented a few years ago back in 2005 and the developers of Joomla were able to make some decent money.

Although they are aware of the drawbacks of Joomla and present some plugins to correct the dysfunctionalities, but the problem are still there. Many who own joomla website were outranked because of the SEO problems. I know of the fact that some who received nice rage rank, with the changes that Google has done lately, these websites dropped their ranking. Some of those SEO-ers who have been working on Joomla websites know that ranking for a Joomla site may not be as easy as any other sites. In fact getting top ranking for these types of CMS sites is not easy.

I recommend the Joomla designers find way to enrich and optimize Joomla so that people who have built a website on Joomla can enjoy ranking as well.
For the time being WordPress sites can be the best choice, don’t you think so?

Joomla is basically the new, competing version of Mambo. Several months ago the open source software development group split, with several of the original developers leaving Mambo to join the Joomla development system. As of now, Joomla and Mambo are very similar; in fact, almost identical. Most modules and components and templates that work with Mambo work almost perfectly with Joomla.
Joomla works well for medium to larger websites and is one of the best content management systems out there. It competes against the best, thus it is one of the best.

Advantages:

If you have used Mambo in the past, an advantage of using Joomla now is that you will basically not have to learn anything. Because Mambo and Joomla are so similar, little learning is needed in the translation. For non-Mambo users, Joomla has the same advantages that Mambo has; modules, components, and user accounts, as well as many other things. With these features you can set up allowances and restrictions to your users; ultimately, this gives you a very strict amount of control over your website. If you set it up this way, everything works as you’d like, and nothing will happen or be published that you don’t approve.

Disadvantages:

One possible disadvantage of Joomla is that it will be so different than Mambo. In a few years, Mambo and Joomla will continue to evolve, and one or the other will turn out to be the dominate one. However, we cannot know which one that will be at this time, so you must weigh both the risk and the advantages. Another disadvantage of Joomla is that it can be hard to get the hang of if you are new to the Joomla-Mambo software. In addition to this, Joomla, like Mambo, can be difficult to learn how to work when you are just starting. It’s hard to get it to work right in the beginning, disable certain features, and to make a template you like.

Best Uses:

Like Mambo, Joomla is bested use with moderate to larger websites. It does fine for smaller ones, but it can be a hassle to set up. It takes a long time to get the hang of using the software and configuring it to exactly what you want. It can be effective for certain tasks,

Platform:

Joomla is run on web hosting with PHP and a MySQL database.

Templates and Modification:

There are a decent amount of pre-made Joomla templates one can use from a stock website or customize. In addition to this, virtually every Mambo template that is out there will work almost perfectly with Joomla.

* you don’t care about server resources
* you’re running (or planning to to run) only one or max a couple of sites
* you don’t need one log-in to several sites
* you don’t need user groups & permissions
* you don’t run membership site(s)

Use Drupal when:
* you want a rock solid & high quality platform for your sites
* you want or need a real multi-site-feature (only one installation for several sites)
* you need any kind of user groups & user permissions
* you need to run also membership- and community sites, not only CMS etc
* you want a Powerful templating system
* you’re ready to invest a bit of your time in order to realize all the huge possibilities of Drupal
* you understand the meaning of clear, high quality code and API (easy to integrate with other solutions etc)
* you want flexibility and don’t like limitations

Another TopSEO’s tips when optimizing one’s site is to go for links that have high quality. Concentrating on getting links from those sites that have good standing in search engines can produce a more positive result. Avoid using link farms as well as link partnering schemes as search engines do not like links with low value. Creating and publishing well written scripts about what the company or website is offering and submitting those articles to article submission sites can also help in achieving a higher ranking in search engines. Including the author’s short details can guarantee readers that the write up is accurate and informative.

Unfortunately, not all people in a company or organization can create good web design. For such company or organizations, i suggest you to contact web design service provider company. The company specializes on planning, designing, developing, and also giving maintenance service for website development. You must pay with reasonable price according to complexity of website you order.

In recent days, outsourcing is the best way to reduce cost and to get best result. For companies which core business is not website design, usually they do not have enough man power in website development. If this company develops website internally, the result tends to be low quality but with much effort. In order to get high quality and less effort, i recommend them to call web design company. I am sure you will get the best result with less effort.

Starting from zero, i read book about getting $1000 a month. I did what the book said. Firstly, i bought internet domain. This domain had PR3. I developed this domain using good layout, nice posts and pictures so it looks professional.

I began to do my marketing actions to get buyers. Nobody was interested with my site, so there was no income for three months.  Wondering why there were not buyers, i read online guide of internet marketing, and then SEO tools gave me one of methods to increase my site value.

I installed SEOQuake, Rank Checker and SEO for Firefox in my site. About 2 weeks later, there was improvement in my site parameter, such as alexa rank and backlinks. If you are in the same field as me, you can try those SEO tools. 

Search engine optimization is a way for companies to maximize website traffic. Websites can only be effective if it is visited by potential clients. Selling a product or service on a company website is challenging as it is but getting the target market or consumers to visit the site is also equally tasking. So by increasing website traffic a company will also increase its possibilities to eventually make a sale or gain a customer. To explain this in simpler terms, more visits or hits equal more chances to present and more chances to sell. The more traffic the more profit.

Being considered by search engines as an authority in specific key word searches will land a website’s link high on its result list. If a company’s website high on the list or at least on the front page it is most likely to be visited and have the opportunity to make a profit, websites that have low ranks on the list have very slim chances of being visited and it follows that would be less profitable. In order to achieve this, a company’s website has to have a significant number of back links that are of relevance to the topic or keywords used in a particular search.

A way or an option to increase back links is by using automatic directory submitter software. This software is able to generate back links for a website thus increasing its page rating. The software is capable of submitting articles or blogs as back links to hundreds and thousands of directories for the search engine’s perusal. There are different criteria in the search engines assessment of a websites rank but increasing the number of back links of a site is a significant part of the decision making process. This software is very useful and companies who would like to boost the success of its website should look into using it.

First of all, for anyone who doesn’t know what PageRank is – it is a value used by Google to determine how important a domain is based on analysis of link on the internet. Web pages that don’t have any PageRank are often referred to as having N/A PageRank. Also, pages that have a lot of low PageRank and PageRank N/A links pointing to them can have their PageRank lowered as a result.

A website can have a high PageRank with relatively few links pointing to it if those links are of a high PageRank.PageRank is generally not assigned to a web page higher than the pages that link to it. Probably the most important factor in the distribution of PageRank to a web page is the PageRank of the web pages linking to it. So, if a page has 4 PageRank 4 and 3 PageRank 3 links pointing at it, it will probably be assigned a PageRank of 4. The sheer quantity of links does not help to increase PageRank. The higher the PageRank of pages linking to a given page, the higher its PageRank is likely to be. Some people suggest that the text content of the page affects PageRank assignment, but this doesn’t seem to be the case. There is no substantiated evidence that text affects PageRank other than pages that have been spammed often have their PageRank reduced. When it come to sub-pages, time is a factor in PageRank assignment. When new sites first get assigned PageRank their sub-pages often remain without any PageRank. In general, sub-pages are a little slow to get assigned PageRank. Google is generally less trusting of sub-pages unless they belong to a trusted domain. In particular websites with a lot of sub-pages and even more so sites that link to a lot of internal pages (like directories) can really struggle to pass their PageRank to internal pages. The structure of the site has a major role to play in the distribution of PageRank. Google uses what is known as block level analysis to pick apart web pages. They use their vast knowledge of the structure of the web to decide what links on a page are probably the most trustworthy and the pages these links point to are more likely to be assigned PageRank. Google can and do manipulate websites’ PageRank. This is generally as a penalty for sites that have used unhonest methods. This can often cause all the site’s sub-pages to loose their PageRank. It has also been claimed that in the past Google has made mistakes in PageRank distribution. Finally, the PageRank of a web page may change even when there has been no change in the links pointing to that page. This is either due to changes in the structure of links between all websites or modifications made by Google.
