If you’ve ever created content on a website and wondered what you could do to make it appear higher in search results, you’re not alone. In fact, there is an entire industry is dedicated to search engine optimization (SEO).

EPiServer, a provider of web content management (WCM) and engagement products, has announced the availability of a new add-on for their WCM platform. The new component, Social Reach, provides a single interface for users to personalize and communicate content across multiple social networks.

Sometimes, a partnership is just meant to be. Building on many successful integrations since 2009, EPiServer acquires Mediachase and makes Mediachase's eCommerce engine a permanent component of the EPiServer Commerce solution.

Context first. This is what Bob Egner, VP of Product Management and Global Marketing for Web CMS vendor EPiServer is excited about.

In an exclusive CMSWire interview Egner and CMSWire staff dug into the fundamentals of Customer Experience Management, how Web CMS vendors differentiate -- or don't, the cloud and PaaS vs. SaaS, how to go mobile more simply and the big challenges facing vendors in 2012.

Let's have a look:

We've long considered Web CMS vendors like Sitecore and Ektron to be mid-market players. And to some extent they still are. But with the evolution of web content management towards customer experience management has come a shift in the .NET Web CMS vendor landscape. Here's a look at where the players are today.

Why should you have to build two separate versions of your website to satisfy mobile users?

Amazon's stability troubles may be dominating the headlines, but that's not stopping the momentum of cloud-based offerings. EPiServer (news, site) is the latest to fall in line offering a "Platform-as-a-Service" version of its content management system.

After a failed attempt to go public, EPiServer's (news, site) future possible routes included either trying the IPO again or selling to someone. They chose the latter. The buyer is IK Investment Partners, a European private equity firm, with a surprising business focus.

Mobile is huge, in case you haven’t heard. More and more Web CMS vendors are embracing the mobile channel. EPiServer (news, site) is one of them with the latest release of MobileCenter App for iPhone and iPad.

Forward Search (news, site) 2.0 release aims to increase the amount of website and enterprise data you can search to better mine results and improve business intelligence.

The big Initial Public Offering (IPO) party we anticipated is not going to happen. EPiServer's (news, site) plans for going public fell through.

Recently, the Real Story Group identified mid-market Microsoft .NET-based content management systems as the biggest Web CMS trend for Q3.

I was inspired to explore this topic a bit more, as industry anecdotes of organizations selecting one CMS vendor over the other based on the "We're a 100% .NET" claim sprang to mind.
