The methods for making Joomla SEO friendly are roughly the same as making any other website SEO friendly - you need to make it findable for those crawlers. I’ll dispense with the insect/food talk because it was beginning to creep me out, which means it has probably done the same to you. In short, you want to be tight with those spiders so by the time they come sniffing around your website it looks like a giant tasty morsel. They do precisely what their name implies - devour the contents of the web with innumerable legs to categorize every website in existence, rank it against every other website in existence, and then present that information to you in a reasonable way all in under a second. These algorithms are also known as spiders, crawlers or bots. Search engine giants like Google and Bing use algorithms to find the best content on the web. Today it takes time, sweat, blood, and years, and then a healthy dose of research to make your website SEO friendly. It maybe was, once, in the late ’90’s, if you were on your game. You already know you can’t throw your site up and expect the traffic to come to you - the Internet is no longer a “Field of Dreams”.
