There’s an interesting article by Brian Chappell in the latest Search Marketing Standard about Drupal and SEO. (Unfortunately you can’t read it online, so you’ll have to take my word for it!)
If you are thinking about onsite optimization for a Drupal web site, there’s one module you really must install, SEO Checklist. Although it doesn’t do very much in itself (it really is just a checklist, with some added smarts in that it does check which other modules you have installed against its list of recommendations), it provides an essential baseline.
My experience has been that those who commission and build Drupal sites are not always focussed on SEO, so the science is not quite as advanced as it is with WordPress, for example. There’s a prejudice in some parts of the industry against SEO which I suspect may also be partly responsible for the slight lag in this regard. Still, articles such as the one I mentioned above may help to shift the balance as SEO practitioners become more aware of the many fantastic possibilities that Drupal can offer.

Hello Alfred,
Glad you enjoyed the article. I have run across the all in one checklist, and it does exactly what you said, creates a great baseline to follow for folks.
Today I posted a new release (Beta) of the Drupal SEO Checklist Module for Drupal 6: Drupal SEO Checklist It’s completely updated with more modules and dropped a few as well. Don’t be afraid of the beta – it’s actually pretty stable. Let me know what you think.
