I think many owners haven’t yet figured out knowing the basics of SEO is as important as understanding a balance sheet!

Great video. We have used this CMS on the last three projects and the 4th is about to drop. This 4th project will give us a much better idea on SS and its SEO capability as it is over 1000 pages. We are/were a bit concerned about everything being off the base url so I guess we will see if that is really an issue. Keep your fingers crossed!

Sigurd,

Thanks for dropping by again. I’m glad you enjoyed the video, and I’m glad you corrected me about the MetaTags function and how that works. On the title aspect, I definitely prefer page-name / site-title or just page-name from an SEO perspective. Since you’ve got a limited amount of space where the title of a page shows up in Google search, it’s definitely a good idea to push the content of the specific article into the area search results can see.

I hope that this one and the next couple of screencasts I have planned will work as quick feature overviews to help people see the benefits of SS easily.

Sigurd here from SilverStripe! Thanks for the video, I'm happy to hear you like SilverStripe. In your video you made some questions, and I'll answer them here. You asked why page.ss needs changing to allow the meta title to come through. Because we made a mistake. Thanks for pointing this out! This will be fixed in SilverStripe 2.3.1, which will come out in coming days. (You can test this release now - pre-release is at http://groups.google.com/group/silverstripe-announce/browse_thread/thread/ffff0cac4cb796b7?hl=en ) I added a bug report on your behalf at http://open.silverstripe.com/ticket/3705 - in the future feel free to do the same. The we we fixed this is to change "$Title" to "$MetaTitle". FYI "$MetaTags(false)" still shows $MetaTags. However the (false) just excludes the $MetaTitle, which is a little magic. (You might expect that it doesn't show $MetaTags at all, but this is not the case.) We personally prefer "page title - site name" order rather than "site name - page title" because your browser history lists are generally more human readable. If the phase is long, the right hand gets chopped off, and we'd rather not chop off page title. It's a small thing. So, out of the box in v2.3.1, the default template will work fine (but if you wish to change the order of site-name/page-title, then you can easily update the template, as in this video, and frankly, the whole point of having template freedom is to do these sorts of things.) Finally, yes, we will in the future support nested aka hierarchical URLS, but you will be able to choose to have this on or off. You're right, this is a subjective thing. We wouldn't want to force you one way or the other. Thanks for the video! :)
