POWERED by FUSION

That URL issue, is 90% of the reason I use Wordpress. I recently tried about a dozen different CMS’s ranging from Drupal to Mambo to SilverStripe, and there was no simple way to make the URL’s good for SEO or if there was a simple way (like in Drupal) it’s just too high maintenance. When EE produces good-for-SEO URL’s by default or makes it easy to alter the URL structure, I’ll try it. I can’t figure out why so many CMS’s neglect this feature. It’s so crucial for a site.

It should be clarified that the “index.php” in no (proven) way hinders SEO. The reality is that ExpressionEngine’s powerful and flexible URL structure is probably the most search engine-friendly option available.

The reason people request the removal of index.php is mostly aesthetic.
