I keep hearing/reading references to Content Management Software having SEO issues. I had been looking at "Article Manager," and I ran across this post in search of Google. Supposedly, it contains info from an email from Google to a guy using Article Manager....or something like it.
Some of it was shocking to me...some I did not really understand. The post was a year old. I would be interested in comments from SEO types and CMS types, please.
I am getting dizzy trying to understand all this stuff. Just when I think I have found something great, I come across negatives.

I too have been looking for the Holy Grail of cmss. I own several licenses of Article Manager but have none deployed. There are issues with AM and SEO. A user posted this response from Google in the AM Forums:
"We cannot include your site in Google News at this time because your articles are set up as posts or threads.
1. Set up your site in standard HTML format.
2. Each page that displays an article's full text needs a unique, static URL. We cannot include sites in Google News that display multiple articles from the same URL.
3. The URL for each article must contain a unique number consisting of at least three digits.
For example, our news crawler would not crawl these URLs: http://www.google.com/lemurs_in_the_mist.html
http://www.google.com/news/article23.html
It would crawl these pages: http://www.google.com/news/08112003/article.html
http://www.google.com/news/lemurs_in_the_mist/23467.html
4. Don't include a date in the URL. These URLs often change regularly. Since we're unable to detect the most current URL, we can't crawl the site for new content. 5. Create an HTML, text-based link structure. We are unable to crawl links pointing from graphics or embedded in JavaScript."
