SEO For Joomla Sites

Today various platforms are available for web design. Like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla or any other CMS. Here I am going to discuss about SEO with Joomla platform.

As per my point of view, Joomla is not Search Engine friendly. Its default URL creation it’s really horrible. It might create duplicate content in several ways.

Default URLs of Joomla can be reframed as Search engine friendly Urls. Below is one of the plug-ins which will convert Joomla’s complicated and non search engine friendly URLs into static search engine friendly URls.

Above URL plug-in will solve the main problems that Joomla creates by pointing so many URLs at the same content.

Default structure of Joomla page title is: “SiteName – PageName”

This crates problem when there is long site name and long page name. Crawler can count only few characters while displaying results in SERP. Because of that sometimes it may happen your important world don’t get chance to get visibility or to get priority in SERP.

To resolve this problem, just do one required change in the joomla.php file (which is located at includes/joomla.php).

Change below code

$this->_head['title'] = $title ? $GLOBALS['mosConfig_sitename'] . ' - '. $title : $GLOBALS['mosConfig_sitename'];

Into

$this->_head['title'] = $title && $title != "Home" ? $title : $GLOBALS['mosConfig_sitename'];

I got this solution from one of the forum, just try it once, it will definitely help you.

Why SEO is Important for Website?

Many of you might have question, why SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is important for website? What does it make difference if site doesn’t follow search engine algorithms? And what benefits we will have if site is search engine friendly? These are the common questions when some one is not aware about the importance of SEO.

Today, one can find any damn information about any thing they wish on internet. One can find lots of resulting pages for any query. Market is highly competitive and to be stable in this internet world one should follow search engine algorithms. Let’s say one has business related online shopping. Building and attractive user friendly site is not enough to get quality business on internet. To get quality business there are some important task to follow, like:

• The site must be popular among users.
• When user type any query to shop any stuff from online, site must come on first page of search engine result page, so that users come to know about site.
  

To stay strongly in competitive world of internet, SEO services play very important role. To keep the business stable and to see further growth of it, I would strongly recommend for SEO of website.

Now what if site is not optimized? We all know normally users can surf maximum 5 SERP (search engine result pages). One page contains 10 results that means at maximum top 50 results or I can say top 50 sites can get chance to be noticed. Rest of the sites never get chance to be noticed. So, to get high quality traffic on any particular site, it must be in top 3 SERP. To get position in SE, site optimization is the key factor.

This is what I said about the importance of SEO. Below is the list of advantages of SEO friendly site.

• Top position in search engine.
• High quality traffic.
• Traffic form particular region.
• Increasing business popularity.
• Business Promotion.
  

To get good business through internet without search engine optimization is as tough as money without working hard or I can say next to impossible until and unless site becomes very popular through mouth publicity and that takes too long time and we all know TIME IS MONEY.
