Joomla has powerful SEO tools built and ready right out of the box Metadata and Keywords Mod_rewrite support for SEF URLs Menu creation built with the thought of creating clear and consistent sitemaps Every time you create an article or a menu item, it automatically creates an alias for its default PHP string so that the links to particular pages are both user and search engine friendly.

These features allow you to make the most important parts of your content shine out among other similar websites, giving you the technical edge.
