Community and social software sites are actively updated with fresh content and are magnets for search traffic. However, the architecture of a social software platform needs to take into consideration all the search engine optimization best practices and built them into the software to ensure its SEO friendly. With all the right ingredients there is no better way to draw visitors and search traffic.
The Communifire platform integrates numerous components into its structure to ensure its Search Engine optimized. Aside from the ability for users to set meta descriptions and tag articles, photos, videos and just about every content contribution within the site, the Admin Panel offers an SEO settings section to optimize and tweak the SEO settings for each main section of the website. SEO Settings can be found under the General Settings of the admin panel. From here administrators can fill in and alter the Meta Title, Meta Descriptions and Meta Keywords for the photo section, blogs, articles, files, videos and other sections on the site. By having complete control over the main components which are crawled by search engines and being able to adjust them on the fly from a single page, SEO administration which is a critical part of every site can be done from a single location.
SEO has been woven into every component of the Communifire platform both at the user level as well as the admin level and rest assured your site will be search friendly.
