Search Optimized CMS
What is your favorite SEO friendly content management tool? What plugins do you recommend?

Back in 2005 I launched out ZeppOS (http://zeppospro.com/) which was a very search optimized CMS. After I sold it, I had a lot of hesitation in switching to anything else but I am now a self-proclaimed WordPress (http://WordPress.org/) evangelist! I have had a great deal of success with WordPress as a CMS, GoDaddy (http://GoDaddy.com/) offers very good rates on their WordPress hosting, or you can host multiple sites for USD 7/month on their Deluxe plan. There are several plugins that I recommend, but in regards to SEO, the best out there is the "All in one SEO Pack" (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/) by Michael Torbert (http://michaeltorbert.com/) This plugin allows you to easily control the site wide and individual post/page title and meta descriptions as well as a lot of useful WordPress hacks.

Yes, I love WP as well, check out the recommendations from Yoast http://yoast.com/articles/wordpress-seo/ I have not tried all his methods as I also use All in one, but I might check out this methods on his new installs.
