SEO is a game of taking chances. We all have tried those tricks that would get us rewarded by Google and rank our sites on the first search page.
However, the keyword stuffing activities are long dead and no more get you to the top of the SERP ranks. In this age of smart algorithms, Google is looking at the content quality and thus, content is the real king. Only informative, attractive and value creating content pieces make their way to the peak.
How Drupal came into the picture?
Drupal, an open source Content Management System, is specially designed keeping all these factors in mind. It plays a vital role in bridging the gap and helping you reach your SEO dream. It assists you in practices like adding metadata, tags and optimizing the keywords.
Drupal 8 – the latest version of Drupal – has further brought new functionalities and a robust way of creating and marketing your website.
Drupal has proven to be a great CMS for building search engine optimized websites for major brands like NASA, Entertainment Weekly, ABS-CBN News and more.
