Preface

Drupal is one of the most popular web content management systems. It powers a number of today's websites and is a solid choice for many businesses that want to create a compelling online presence. On today's Web, when noise and competition are at their highest levels ever, simply having a great site isn't enough. If you want to be competitive online, you have to have an appreciation for search marketing and you need fluency with the skills and strategy behind search engine optimization.

Drupal provides only limited SEO functionality straight out of the box. In this book, we look at how you can create a search engine optimized Drupal site using a combination of the default Drupal tools together with a set of popular extensions for the CMS. We also explore in depth the strategy behind SEO and how to set up and prosecute a successful SEO campaign.

Search marketing is a very competitive area, and one that is constantly changing and evolving. SEO skills are in high demand. Use this book to build a solid foundation in SEO and make your Drupal sites perform to the best of their ability.
