      Hi there,

      I am planning to use UMBRACO to manage my existing website, so my question to Seomozzers out there is what should I be aware of, how safe is it to have UMBRACO in terms of SEO.

      By using this software, would it be possible to get a positive or negative impact on my keyword rankings?

      Thanks!

          Hi there

          Umbraco is a solid CMS and a good choice.  It may not be as user-friendly out of the box as something like Wordpress, but it's certainly capable of being very SEO friendly.  No CMS has one SEO 'advantage' over the other, Umbraco is as customisable as Wordpress and Joomla, for example.  The problem would be how the CMS creates content for your site.

          The one thing I would always consider is: if you're planning on using category/tag pages etc. for your blog content, make sure those pages are noindexed.  You don't want Google to flag the pages as duplicate content.

          Take a good look at how Umbraco generates pages, folders and categories - right down the architecture of your site for all URLs.  Make sure none of those URLs could be seen as duplicate content.  If they do, follow this guide to help remove the problem.

          Here are some other useful links to get you going:

            On-page SEO

            onpage

            This is a question for the organic SEO experts, once you added the main keyword that you want to rank for in the homepage title, meta title plus meta description, perhaps once or twice in the text on the homepage. How often do you then write it in the content marketing, say blog posts, we want to rank higher on Google for "SEO agencies Cardiff" however if you mention this in the blog posts too much say once a week, this could lead to over optimisation issues?

            Homepage SEO optimization

            Hello, I’m almost ready to lunch my new website https://thetravelhoop.com , I just need to create the content of the product page and put all the images. I would like to know what you think in terms of SEO of the home page (is the content that I want to rank the most). My doubt is that since it is a landing page, there is not a lot of text but mostly <h>. It’s not a styling decision of course (I know is bad practice) but mostly because they are supposed to be title/headings.</h> Do you think I’m doing something wrong, or do you have any suggestions? Thank you, Daniele

            Does Bolding Text Have Any Impact on SEO?

            Someone told me it does but I thought that was old school way of thinking.  Any thoughts?

            Do Parent Categories Hurt SEO?

            I have parent categories and subcategories. Will it be harder for the subcategories to rank well because they have a parent category? The URL is longer, for one. I am just wondering if I should not have parent categories. I have one category page doing really well and I am trying to boost the others (most of which are subcategories) and this is a concern for me. Thanks! Edit: I also have a category that has 2 parent categories. I want it automatically in those 2 categories and one of its own. By itself it is very important keyword. Is this ok or should I have it be a parent category?

            What is the most SEO friendly Shopping Cart?

            What is the most SEO friendly shopping cart?  I have been using zen-cart for 6 years.  Seems Google doesn't like it as much as other carts.  I started a new site about 6 months ago using Magento.  When I build links to this site the terms move.  The terms are very similar.  So I would imagine the competition is the same.  I am curious if anybody has tried with different carts and found anyone to be better than the others.  Also the new site has about one tenth the amount of products but has a lot more pages indexed.
