If you really want to create a lot of sites, I suggest you stick to WordPress.

Joomla has many SEO functions already built in, but the setup just takes a bit more time. You have to really think about the structure of your website etc.

I can't speak for Drupal, though, maybe that's easier.

Since you're already familiar with Wordpress I too would recommend to keep using wordpress. Another option is if you create (or have someone create for you) an automated site cloning script to automate the install process.

This will be helpful if you plan to keep making clones of the same setup over and over as it can turn the installation/cloning progress into a one form for the site, ftp & db information and then once submitted the script will automatically create the whole site for you.

Thanks

You definitely will want to stick with Wordpress. This is by far the best CMS for all website creations. I have been using Wordpress for all my profitable niche sites ever since I first started my Internet business. Many successful online marketers use Wordpress too.

Warmest Regards,

Right now I use plugins for wordpress for SEO, RSS, Pinging, Sitemap etc. I also select certain settings everytime I set up the site (url changes, summary articles instead of the whole thing etc)

I want to try and automate this process. Is there themes out there for wordpress that automate most of this or am I stuck with activating 3+ plugins for each site.

Would Drupal or Joomla be better automation?

The learning curve with drupal or joomla is probably too steep if you don't have much experience with them. It could take you months to learn your way around using them.

If you have already been using wordpress... that would logically be the answer since you are already familiar with it!

I definitely prefer Wordpress over Joomla / Drupal.. its a lot more user-friendly, you don't really have to read a guide just to get started and its pretty flexible in regards to customisation

Wordpress is an easiest to use CMS. It would be difficult curve in learning Joomla from scratch. When you are familiar with Wordpress, it is recommended to stick with that only. Wordpress too have so many plugins which are SEO-friendly.

If you wanna create more then 150 pages for your website then go for Drupal or Joomla. Anything below that, stick with Wordpress

i would stick to wordpress. do not use plugings for seo. re-code your theme to have unique disripton and title meta tag for each page, and canonical tag using wordpress custom field.

If you want to have lots of website.. Stick with wordpress. Not sure about the the themes that automatically set for Sitemap, but most of premium themes can set the SEO atoumatically.. you have to configure it first though. like just one-lick

WordPress is no.1 for SEO and design specialty. You can do a google search and see how many people use each platform of the CMS software.

Also there are many free templates for the wordpress platform than the others ones.
