Hi, wordpress is the best, because is more complete.
You should use Joomla. As I feel it has much more features then WordPress OR Drupal. Joomla is CMS and has components available to extend features on your site.
it depends on what you intend to do with the cms. Generally joomla is very good for magazine/news related sites while wordpress is good for blog or personal sites. Drupal is also lightweight and suited for more generic use.
The best CMS for SEO, for the average user, is Joomla. Out of the box, just like all other dynamic webapps such as WordPress and Drupal, it’s poor. But all these things are fixed with plugins in the world of CMS, so the one with the most and/or the best plugins wins out. That’s Joomla, it has nearly 4,000 plugins right now.
All the apps you quoted are good for SEO, when managed correctly. If you don’t install the right plugins in the right way, they will all be poor. Get good advice or you may not get the best results.
In any case – you may not be asking the right question. Since they are all OK for SEO, you should maybe be asking “Which is best for my particular job?”. Here’s a quick breakdown of the pros and cons:
WordPress: not a true CMS (it’s too limited), it belongs to a class of blog /CMS crossover apps that could be called Micro CMS. It’s absolutely the best choice if you want to get online fast and easy. It is best when you will be creating articles that are done and dusted quickly – finished with after a week or so, and not updated. So news and commentary – ie blog-type material – is the best fit. Also if you want people to comment on your articles, so you can establish a conversation.
Movable Type is the next one up, in this class. It’s more capable than WP because it’s bigger. It is closer to being a real CMS.
Joomla is a true CMS, and in the rich media publishing tool class. In fact it is the king of multimedia publishing. With 4,000 plugins you can do anything. But it’s definitely not a large enterprise CMS. Use the Joomla 1.0.15 version, don’t use the new 1.5 series – too many problems and not enough plugins – basically still in beta+. A CMS like this is used when you have different types of content (eg Flash slideshows, text articles, module items, image galleries, music clips) – and when the articles you write will stay current and be updated. Editing and organisation is far better in a true CMS like this.
Drupal is a good choice if you need ACL, access control for different editor groups. If you have various people who own different sections, this is the one. It’s much harder to use than Joomla though – which itself is much harder to use than WordPress. Drupal’s the one if you have many content owners.
So if I were you I’d work out what job you need to do first. All these are good for SEO but Joomla is the best. I work on SEO for these webapps every day so this is my game, I’m not repeating hearsay.
