Joomla All the Way

Web Hosting SEO and the New Paradigm
Part Five: Joomla All the Way

In our ongoing series of special reports on how your web hosting decisions tend to influence your web site's standing in the results of the search engines, we now shift focus from the back end to the front end to tell you why using a powerful content management system (CMs) like Joomla is not only good for SEO but also well-suited to your underlying mission to increase targeted web traffic to your site.

What is Joomla?

Has your web hosting company told you about Joomla? Probably not. This is because it is not their place to recommend content management systems or to get involved with either your front end or your user interface. Moreover, since Joomla is an open source CMS which essentially means that it is a community-based initiative reflecting both the individual and combined efforts of millions of highly qualified developers, consultants and users, there is no commercial model to support advertising initiatives. Like Wikipedia, Open Office and generic Linux, Joomla has arrived at the forefront of web-based content management systems because of sheer power, functionality and a small dose of goodwill.

Remember, Microsoft won't send you a bill to visit the site or to download Joomla!
