Hello,

Just wondering, is Serendipity search engine friendly?

I'm going to be developing some sites and I want those sites to be as search engine friendly as they can be.


Thanks,
Matt.

I've been using it for a couple of weeks and have have it pretty google friendly.

Would suggest make use of the sitemap plugin (and make sure to referance it in the robots.txt). It works well with google...

Just to go a little bit further into detail (not that I'm a SEO expert, but): It might help to activate URL rewriting (I'm not sure whether it's active by default, as far as I remember it's not) and use a content first template.

Hi Matt

one other thing you can do which helps a lot is to register your site on the DMOZ register.

cheers

Yep DMOZ is a good idea.

Thanks Dave.
