Abstract

Before we start optimizing Joomla for search engines, let’s quickly go through some of the basics of how Google ranks a web site. Feel free to skip this chapter, if this is already familiar to you. I will only discuss the basics here; more advanced search engine optimization (SEO) topics will be discussed as we go, while we are configuring Joomla.
