DISC, Inc - “Making Web Sites Make Money” www.2disc.com - Rob@2disc.com - 413.584.6500 - 123 Bay Rd., Hadley, MA 01035 What is CMS-SEO? • CMS (content management system) & database SEO entails having your CMS pull keywords and phrases from your product or information database into all web-page parts relevant to SEO, except for the body copy. Although it does not apply to static sites without database-driven content, many of the CMS SEO rules below can be applied to such sites manually. Because CMS SEO performs a lot of SEO automatically and can treat thousands of pages, it is the most cost-effective SEO tactic.
