If you have a new site, you want to get traffic. The 800 lb gorilla for this is of course Google.

So how can you get indexed as quickly as possible in Google and start to get that great free organic SEO traffic.

I came across a few great tips from IdeaPro.com as I was trying to answer this question myself!

Yes indeedy....

Does Wordpress have better out of the box SEO than Joomla Joomla?

Discuss.. :)

Update:

There has been an "easter egg" of sorts in the title of this blog post. Some have found it, some haven't :)

One of the most important things for a successful website is traffic. That might sound like an obvious point, but alot of people get lost in the technology and don't see the forest for the trees. Just traffic isn't good enough, it has to be defensible traffic. Something that doesn't dry up overnight just because you lost your top ten spot in Google.

There are four basic strategies to defensible traffic.

Over at Copyblogger, Sonia Simone made a recent post about Getting Naked. No, it wasn't a college party, but rather the concept of being honest, sometimes painfully so in your blog. Current wisdom among bloggers is that this is a good standard to follow, you'll see popular bloggers ranging from Dooce, SEOMoz and even Joomla Joomla's Alledia sharing things that traditionally would be thought of as perhaps private. In each case, the sharing has been well received, and all importantly, worthy of traffic.

Back in October there was a brief discussion about the all important page title tag in Joomla Joomla 1.5 and its importance for SEO. Essentially, in 1.0 your page titles would always get appended (unless you had a SEF component) leading to potentially long titles. In 1.5, the behavior was changed so that if there was a page/article title, the global site title would be ignored.

That's all well and good, but the reality of SEO is not so clear cut.

Its been while since I have done much blogging about Joomla Joomla SEO, almost a year in fact. I thought I would do some research and see how the collective wisdom of the industry has changed with what matter to get a page search engine optimized (SEO). Use this top ten list if you already have a site ranked and want to see what you can implement to get your ranking higher.
