Search Engine Optimize WordPress or use SEOTOASTER ?
WordPress is the most popular blogging software in the world. It also gradually became a popular platform used to build corporate web sites. Lots of folks, website developers included, believe WordPress is among the easiest to use and friendliest SEO CMS out there.
We are often being asked to compare seotoaster SEO CMS features with WordPress' SEO features.
As one would expect, we're part of a small but growing number of web marketers believing that seotoaster is not only a better SEO CMS option than trying to SEO WordPress, but it is also much easier to use than WordPress for regular end-users, and a lot more scalable as well (more of this later on). In a nutshell, our opinion is that if you're building a blog, WordPress might still be the way to go, but if you're building a small business or e-commerce website then SEOTOASTER is definitely your best option.
In order to make our point, we've compiled a list of the plug-ins you would need to install, patch, configure and troubleshoot to match what's available with a basic seotoaster install out of the box, starting with SEO plug-ins. Note that in order to install some of these plug-ins you would need to upgrade the PhP version of your server, and do a lot many more fun tasks around these lines. Note also that some SEOTOASTER default functionalities are just not available with a SEO WordPress plug-in, much less with a default WordPress install;
- WordPress Duplicate Content Plugin
- WordPress Sitemaps Plugin
- WordPress Meta tags Plugin
- All in one SEO pack WordPress plugin
- WordPress nofollow plugin
- Meta robots WordPress plugin
- Free SEO WordPress theme
- SEO WordPress template

Friendly & Intuitive User Interface
We also like to compare their respective merits when it comes to intuitiveness, user friendliness, content management, how easy to design websites with, and overall scalability.
As far as intuitiveness user friendliness, the in-line seotoaster edition system is just so clearly superior to the back-end administration offered by WordPress that we don't think much explanation is required in that area. Actually, one thing we've noticed is how hard WordPress users look for some sort of admin area when first confronted with the seotoaster side panel. It seems these die-hard WordPress fans just can't believe how easy it is to edit their website with seotoaster. It allows you to move your web pages and whole categories simply by clicking and dropping pages around. It also allows you to modify keywords, and H1 titles at a glance across your entire website. In-line editing has also the advantage of allowing you to edit dynamic elements such as a Jquery slider right on the page as opposed as meddling with code. See below for a short fun video:
Easy Content Management & Web Site Design
As far as content management, seotoaster taxonomy (that's the fancy word for it) has nothing to envy to WordPress, much to the contrary, but there's no point in getting too much into a technical (and quite boring) debate about it.
As far as web design is concerned, seotoaster is also very intuitive. It features a theming system composed of only 4 HTML and 2 CSS templates, and uses standard HTML and CSS code enhanced by system widgets and tokens for navigation and meta & header fields inserts. When it comes to the actual pages design, we've identified the following list of plug-ins you would need to load with your WordPress install in order to match what comes with seotoaster out-of-the-box:
- WordPress php plugin
- WordPress multiple content areas
- WordPress Super Transition Slideshow
- WordPress Fast and Secure Contact Form
- WordPress Gallery Plus
- WordPress Picasa Express
- WordPress Import HTML pages
- WordPress Checkout
- WPsearch
