Maintaining Your Current CMS & Search Engine Presence
Is your site currently utilizing a Content Management System? Is there a possibility, even a slight one, that a CMS will be employed sometime in the future? If so, please continue reading - maintaining your current search engine presence may depend on it.
There are numerous advantages of Content Management Systems. A CMS allows for separation of content, structure and design, and facilitates the management and updates of thousands of site pages. The convenience of Content Management Systems, combined with the time and cost-saving capabilities they produce, makes them an extremely appealing solution to many webmasters.
From a search engine perspective, however, there are also a number of disadvantages which may result from the employment of Content Management Systems, which include an undesirable internal linking structure, duplicate content issues, limited design capabilities, as well as dynamic, lengthy URLs.
Paul Trotter, CEO of Author-it Software Corp., is a man who knows what he is talking about. If you don’t believe me, just take a look at his bank balance.
He just published a White Paper on the implementation challenges presented by Content Management Systems as a whole. It ought to be required reading for boardroom-types, IT managers, webmasters — just about anyone whose job entails management of digital content.
But for those just waking up to the fact that they need a CMS, and are fretting over the issues involved in getting it up and running, you might want to take a look.
Trotter points out that the problem of enterprise content management systems is that while potential “efficiency” benefits are almost incalculable, the challenges presented by implementing such systems are so daunting and potentially complex that poor decisions at and before implementation can drastically curtail these advantages.
So the initial stages of setting up a CMS architecture are absolutely vital.
The paper breaks down the implementation challenges of CMS into seven categories:
How does your intranet compare with those of other companies? It can be difficult to know, since intranets are typically inaccessible to those outside the company. That's why a recent survey of global intranet use and trends compiled by Intranet Dashboard should find interest with any developer.
Intranet Dashboard timed the Global Intranet Benchmarking Survey to coincide with the 2.0 release of its award-winning intranet creation software. The company surveyed a global audience, with over half of respondents (53 percent) in Australia, where Intranet Dashboard is based. Only 18 percent of respondents were in North America.
Cautious about new features
The Intranet Dashboard survey asked questions about what features companies offered on their intranets, what tools were most useful, what they plan to add, and who at their company controls the intranet. As a whole, the responses suggest that most companies are cautious about adding new features -- even collaboration tools that generate a lot of hype in the press -- until they're certain they makes sense for their business.
Having a supposedly "search engine friendly" website isn't all it's cracked up to be. In fact, it can be quite a disappointment. That's because it's not the same thing as being "search engine optimized." I've seen the words "search engine friendly" bandied about quite a lot, particularly to market and sell blog platforms, shopping carts, and content management systems. But buyer beware: That won't necessarily correlate to high search engine rankings out of the box.
Make no mistake about it—there is a huge difference between implementing a "search engine friendly" platform versus architecting and building your website to be "search engine optimal." Generally speaking, the term "search engine friendly" describes design elements, menus, URLs, content management systems and shopping carts that are easy to optimize, while search engine optimization is all about improving the volume and quality of search-referred traffic to a website.
Sydney-based CMS guru James Robertson, managing director of Step Two Designs, has put together a detailed list of usability principles particular to CMS products. For those in or entering a CMS procurement cycle, come hither, let’s have a usability huddle.
Robertson precludes his principles by noting the two major factors one should consider before making a CMS purchase are the system’s functionality and it’s user friendliness. If a CMS is not suitable for the content contributors and managers, sift it out, no second-guessing. It will not work.
The purpose of the Robertson piece is to help guide notions about functionality and usability so buyers can gauge these merits in a practical manner. Consider these principles in your decision-making process and you’ll be 11 steps ahead of your industry peers.
Of all the site issues that I can get on my clients' case about, the one that is most often met with the most groans (and the most inaction) is duplicate content.
"Is duplicate content really that bad?" they ask me. "Is my site going to get penalized?"
Like all answers in the SEO world, the answer is both yes and no. There is no duplicate content "penalty" per se, but that doesn't mean that duplicate content still can't cause positions to be dampened.
In my mind, there are two types of duplicate content:
1. Internal Duplicate Content - exists within a single domain 2. External Duplicate Content - exists across multiple domains
Internal duplicate content, which exists within a single domain, is most often the result of a Content Management System. For example, a CMS may dynamically add breadcrumb data to the URL, or generate more than one URL for a product description page if that product is listed in more than one category.
IGNEX Technologies, a leading provider of Open Source Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Solutions, announced that they had developed a solution that saved companies licensing and support costs – by ensuring the painless migration of a proprietary content management system to an open source based content management system.
CIGNEX, on behalf of a customer who was locked into a leading proprietary ECM system and wanted to migrate to open source, developed an Alfresco-based content management system that offers a near identical interface to that offered by the leading proprietary ECM vendor, at a substantially lower cost. In fact, when the CIGNEX application began rolling out at the customer site, users hardly felt any pain when they switched applications. They required no re-training whatsoever. The customer had close to zero switching costs, was seamlessly transitioned to an open source system, obtained improved application performance, and dramatically decreased both licensing and support costs.
As part of a promotion to further propel the open source movement, CIGNEX announced “The Alfresco Challenge”– A promotion encouraging content management users to visit www.cignex.com and compare the screenshots of the leading proprietary ECM vendor application to those of the more cost-effective open source solution based on Alfresco technology that CIGNEX developed.
Like the “A” in Alfresco begins the alphabet, open source Enterprise CMS vendor Alfresco Software begins LinuxWorld’s list of Ten Enterprise Software Companies to Watch.
Although Alfresco no doubt benefited from the alphabetical order of LinuxWorld’s list, they prove that they belong by being the only entry from the competitive enterprise content management space. Alfresco tops a diverse list of companies that includes everything from CRM to ERP to data visualization, yet the one trait that all the companies on the list share is the desire to help customers run their businesses more efficiently.
Alfresco is the most recent in a long line of companies whose solution hopes to solve the problem of how to manage the increasingly enormous amounts of content that is generated daily. From contracts to resumes and Office documents to web pages to podcasts, companies of all sizes are generating more content than ever before and the need to manage that content effectively is greater than ever.
