Best .net cms and ecommerce platform for seo?
-
Hi and thanks for looking.
Due to internal constraints we are looking at a .net cms and ecommerce solution, I would have preferred a magento and wordpress solution but we have to work within our constraints.
Can anyone share their experiences or thoughts on what cms they would use with seo in mind and what eCommerce platform, again with seo in mind.
thanks again for looking and all replies gratefully received.

I believe with Kentico, you "SHOULD" be able to modify the UI to have a better feel, and sorta streamline it, that way only one person has to suffer, that person being the one doing all the set up.
I'm going through that right now. I'm building out a program that is a total nightmare. For everybody else, it should be pretty nice though... in theory...

Thanks Hashtags, that's a fantastic answer.
We were actually looking at kentico, umbraco, sitecore and ucommerce.
Kentico sounds good on paper but the ui and interface is really dated and not user friendly. Again on paper it does things like a/b testing, email marketing etc but in practice its very crude and basic.
Thanks against for your input and please keep the opinions coming fellow mozzers!

Good Morning,
Well, much like the world of Windows, .Net is so open ended I don't know where to begin. Now, I will preface this with I am more experienced with the Wordpress/Joomla side of things, however I might be able throw a little knowledge your way.
You already know that Wordpress is the easiest solution, so we don't need to go over how you should take everybody out to dinner, get them super drunk, and have them sign a document that states they will "only use wordpress".
Ubmraco is prob the most similar to Wordpress, its free, simple (for .net land) and in the long run, SEO will come down to your own ability to understand HTML and content editing.
Kentico may be the best solution depending on the size of your site, incredibly versatile, however, the free version is slightly limiting and the the enterprise solutions begin to get expensive quickly.
My best suggestion however would be to check out cmsmatrix I queried some results on that link with a shopping cart, web-based template management, etc and .net so take a look. Its pretty cool!

International SEO - differentiating Meta data
Hi, We are developing a website for a company based in the US, but that also distributes to the UK. After careful thought, we decided to go with adding subdirectories for the UK pages on the site rather than creating content on a new ccTLD (though they own that domain). 1. How much of the Title Tags, H1, content, needs to be different for UK versions of the same page. Is it enough to simply Geo tag the EN subdirectory in Webmaster Tools? Or do the Title tags and content need to be different in order to avoid keyword cannibalization? 2. Would it be better to create a Landing Page using the ccTLD .co.uk version with information that links to the .com/en version? This would allow the users to see the .co.uk version for trust-building purposes. Or, would it just be better to 301 redirect the .co.uk version to the .com/en? Thanks for your help! Erin

What is the best out-of-the-box optimized WordPress Theme?
I've reviewed other answers on this forum and searched the web. Still looking for a good answer that's actually specific and can explain why. I've looked at studiopress.com themes, pagelines.com which I love but doesn't appear to have much optimization out of the box, http://themeforest.net/item/udesign-wordpress-theme/253220 http://www.vklabx.com/wordpress-themes/wordpress-theme-ad-flex-niche.php PS - not looking for answers that involve the use of SEO plugins, but if there's a theme you know of that takes minimal editing to improve optimization I'd be interested as well. Thanks in advance, hope this can help someone else as well

Do you ever forget the SEO basics?
We all get a little sloppy at times. Just yesterday , someone pointed out that I accidentally blocked the robots from one of our primary pages, because it was being included in a wildcard match on one of the disallow commands in robots.txt. Sometimes the mistakes are very basic. The one below is just too funny. I thought I would share the love. Search Google for "MD care" MD Care Inc. - Welcome<a id="LXPLSS_979677678U1">
On-Page Optimization | | irvingw</a> <cite>www.mdcarehealthplan.com/</cite> This is an SEO description that will be seen by the search engines and used in the search results. The meta keywords tag is even funnier: <meta name="keywords" content="spam,the,keywords,here,like,this,and this,good" />
