[jimmy0225]

Hi,

I was just curious what website builder, example: intuit, sitepro, yahoo site builder, website builder - created by Godaddy, etc... would be considered good for SEO?

Any comments or thoughts would be appreciated.

Happy New Year!

_Do not take it otherwise, personally I would prefer to hire a website designer because when you are using website builder chances are there it may lack the professional touches. _

If you are not a programmer I will highly recommend using Wordpress for your site independently of whether you want to use it for a business or a blog. It has a nice out of the box admin interface and a great support from the community.You can hire a web designer and get a template or buy a custom one online. Be careful with free templates as they will inject links to other sites.  Also, you can integrate a blog into your business website and provide useful, valuable content to your community. Keep in mind that you are building a website for the people and not search engines.

Any website builder that gives you almost full control will be fine. Even better if you have full control over the URLs. Most systems now seem to be aware of being 'search-friendly' so play around with them. Watch your internal linking structure and provide great content then if you build a page then use SEOmoz's on-page optimisation tool to check on-site SEO. The only thing I would say is try to get a host and software package which lets you use your own domain then you can build your own domain authority rather than a subdomain or sub-URL of another company.
