Get a Leg Up with Search Engine Friendly Features

Static URL's. Many other article management systems rely on complex, long query strings in their URL's that can look something like: http://www.yourdomain.com/articles.php?category=21&articleid=12&page=2. PublishCommunity uses static URL's that look like this: http://www.myarticlesite.com/articles/3/2/Writing-for-the-Web. This makes it infinitly easier to read for both search engines and humans alike, and will increase your search engine rankings dramatically.
Keyword rich URL's. Along with static URL's, PublishCommunity includes the title of the article in the URL, increasing your pages relevance to the keywords in the article title.
Keyword rich titles. The title of a HTML page is rated highly for relevance with search terms used on the search engines, in particular Google and Yahoo. By combining the keyword rich URL's as well as automatically inserting the article title into your pages title, your keyword density improves dramatically.
Automatically generated site map. A sitemap is an integral part of any search engine optimized website. It helps the search spiders crawl and find any new pages added to the site; even those hidden below several layers of links. PublishCommunity automatically generates this sitemap for you, so any new content added to your site is found quicker and easier.
Unlimited article pages. Breaking articles into multiple pages not only makes for easier online reading, but also increases the number of total pages on your site. It's a well known search engine optomization fact that the more pages your website has, the better its ranking in the search engines.
Allow others to submit content. Content is truly king for increasing your traffic effectively using search engines. By allowing others to submit content to your website, you increase your pages as well as content therefore improving your search engine listings exponentially. PublishCommunity makes it a breeze for your visitors to register and submit content, which you can approve to be posted on your site in seconds.
Archived content. Content in PublishCommunity is never removed from the site unless you specifically delete it. Old news and blogs are automatically archived and articles are always accessible from their respective categories. This means your content is always easily accessible to the search engines.
Google site map support. By introducing the Google SiteMaps feature, Google has offered web masters a way to tell the giant search engine instantly when new content is added or updated. PublishCommunity can automatically generate the required sitemap code for you, so Google is notified as soon as you've added new content. PublishCommunity is the first product of it's kind to implement automated Google SiteMap support and will continue to implement search optimization strategies as soon as they become apparent.
Meta keywords and descriptions. Whilst Google doesn't care much for meta tags, other smaller search engines do. PublishCommunity gives you the ability to painlessly add site wide meta descriptions and keywords as well meta tags specific to each article.
Automated syndication. Links, links, links. No doubt you know the biggest determining factor alongside those mentioned earlier in increasing your search engine rankings is the number of links found pointing to your site from other sites.

Whilst PublishCommunity's templating system makes for an attractive, professional looking website increasing your likelihood of getting linked to, it also features an RSS syndicate option, allowing other webmasters to link directly to your top 10 articles or category specific articles in seconds. The list is updated on their site as soon as any content is added on your site instantly.

While most article driven content management systems look similar on the outside, it really is what's inside that counts. PublishCommunity was written from the ground up with dozens of search engine optimized features to help you excel with your online endevours.
