Typo3 CMS SEO (Part 6): Body Text

Part six of a ten part series: Typo3 SEO

It's what you put in your body that matters. The same is true for search engines. In the real world and in the world of the internet, you are what you eat. And nothing more increases your likelihood of high rankings than your body content. Quality body content will not only get you found, it will keep your visitors coming back.

Fortunately, Typo3 makes it extremely easy to add quality content to your site. Actually, since Typo3 is an advanced content management framework, this is essentially its primary purpose. And unlike many content management systems which limit content generation to only a few select entry points - Typo3 instead allows for virtually any combination of content elements - from simple text fields (like this one), to complex web applications (like the news engine that runs the article archive).

Regular text element
A regular text element with header and bodytext fields.
