Best .net cms and ecommerce platform for seo?
-
Hi and thanks for looking.
Due to internal constraints we are looking at a .net cms and ecommerce solution, I would have preferred a magento and wordpress solution but we have to work within our constraints.
Can anyone share their experiences or thoughts on what cms they would use with seo in mind and what eCommerce platform, again with seo in mind.
thanks again for looking and all replies gratefully received.

I believe with Kentico, you "SHOULD" be able to modify the UI to have a better feel, and sorta streamline it, that way only one person has to suffer, that person being the one doing all the set up.
I'm going through that right now. I'm building out a program that is a total nightmare. For everybody else, it should be pretty nice though... in theory...

Thanks Hashtags, that's a fantastic answer.
We were actually looking at kentico, umbraco, sitecore and ucommerce.
Kentico sounds good on paper but the ui and interface is really dated and not user friendly. Again on paper it does things like a/b testing, email marketing etc but in practice its very crude and basic.
Thanks against for your input and please keep the opinions coming fellow mozzers!

Good Morning,
Well, much like the world of Windows, .Net is so open ended I don't know where to begin. Now, I will preface this with I am more experienced with the Wordpress/Joomla side of things, however I might be able throw a little knowledge your way.
You already know that Wordpress is the easiest solution, so we don't need to go over how you should take everybody out to dinner, get them super drunk, and have them sign a document that states they will "only use wordpress".
Ubmraco is prob the most similar to Wordpress, its free, simple (for .net land) and in the long run, SEO will come down to your own ability to understand HTML and content editing.
Kentico may be the best solution depending on the size of your site, incredibly versatile, however, the free version is slightly limiting and the the enterprise solutions begin to get expensive quickly.
My best suggestion however would be to check out cmsmatrix I queried some results on that link with a shopping cart, web-based template management, etc and .net so take a look. Its pretty cool!

Affect of ™ and ® in title for SEO
I am looking at adding the trademark and rights reserved symbols to some of my titles. I think this might help with click through rate. From what I have found, this shouldn't have an affect on SEO unless it makes the title too long. Is this correct? Stephen

HTML Site SEO (NO CMS)
I have got a client site, which is dated (2007) and has not been shifted to any recognised CMS yet. It is HTML based. Is it possible to SEO on such a site? Is it even worth it? If it is possible to do SEO on this, any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Local on-page SEO
If it feels like you are doing something wrong, then you 'probably' are... Local on-page SEO When optimising a page for local SEO, and trying tick all the usuals boxes, you find yourself adding words like 'golf clubs leeds' which sounds awful when part of a natural paragraph of text. Does Google recognise this poor use of grammar? We try to be as creative as possible, as not to offend the visitor, but it feels wrong... any advice? Thanks

SEOmoz and Wordpress SEO plugin
I made a lot of changes with Wordpress SEO by Yoast before I signed up with SEOmoz. But SEOmoz doesn't seem to see those changes. I am still being told I have multiple meta descriptions. I don't know why but SEOmoz is seeing the default meta description and not the one I wrote using the Yoast plugin. How can I get SEOmoz to see those changes? Edit: Google has not updated all the changes I made with Wordpress SEO.
