Hi All,
I became confused after getting an inquiry "Do you have experience in SEO for Drupal websites?"

For me the confusion is - does it create difference of using particular CMS, I have never read any document saying that particular CMS can increase or decrease your visibility.
Can you give me any idea about it, if such things exist then what should be the way to handle, what points should be considered?

    When it comes to SEO, it doesn't really make a great deal of difference what CMS you use.

    You get loads of people parrot the old line that "Google loves WordPress", which isn't true.

    However, for most people, WordPress tends to make onpage SEO a little easier compared to other CMS's like Drupal or Joomla.

    I'm not a Drupal user, so I don't know what in built or addon SEO features it has, but a good bulk of SEO simply comes down to your content and internal linking structure.

    The Wordpress CMS is quite helpful for SEO as it has some useful plug-in that help your site becoming optimized in various search engines.
    As for other CMSs like Drupal, they have no effect on the SEO of a site

    CMS has no much importance as your content have . Just submit the Unique Content to your blog and also put the natural link on your blog and get your keyword rank on top.

      Well, CMS doesn't really matter for SEO, it rather matters how good you're at the keyword research and how well you optimise and promote your site. Still, I often hear that WORDpRESS is better indexed since it's fit for blogging... What's your opinion?

    As long as your CMS provides:

    * a way to customize page titles & meta description
    * categories
    * tags
    * breadcrumbs for easier navigation
    * fast load time (possibly caching mechanisms)
    * sitemaps

    ... you're good to go. You're not going to have better rankings just because you're using Wordpress over Joomla or PyroCMS, but having all the things above is a must for any CMS you're using.

    First Google doesn't read CMS (Content Management System), a CMS is server side (PHP, MySQL, etc...), since a CMS is server side Google doesn't see what's going on (on the server).

    Google knows HTML, which is what a CMS generates, the finished live web page.

    The answer to OPs question is No, a CMS has no effect on SEO. How you handle a CMS could affect the SEO, example, If you have a MySQL database with a billion tables chances are it could be slow at pulling data with a large traffic load which would create a slow loading web page (HTML) which isn't a good idea for SEO.

    The CMS isn't the problem, it's what you do with the CMS.

    One point to consider is speed. Drupal, like many other CMS uses tables in a database to store content and configuration information. IF you have a quality hosting package that can really serve up the queries rapidly on the database side of things then you are good to go. If you put that on a cheapie shared hosting program where the CPU and memory usage is throttled so that 300 other users can share the server, then you might find Drupal so unresponsive at times that the pages struggle to load and you lose users and perhaps ranking.
