#12the fact that a multinational organization with revenues in the billions can do SEO is not at all impressive to me. furthermore, you really need to question your belief system and analytical processes if you follow a church founded by a guy who thought he could find treasure by looking at a rock in a hat (he was also a convicted fraudster).
You made a valid argument with your first comment, but your second comment ("furthermore...") has nothing at all to do with the article or SEO. Go troll somewhere else.

I'm having trouble finding any other churches that exhibit good SEO practices. The catholic church doesn't have such a strong presence, the closest I can find is the westboro baptist church.

#14The linked article just states "Yes the mormon church know SEO". Does anyone know what techniques they use? How do you know they "know SEO". Details please!

Moll's comments on his porfolio page:
> While overseeing the redesign of LDS.org, the LDS web team asked me to step in towards the end of the project to add my take on the visuals, resulting in a few comped ideas within a very short timeframe.[1]
That sounds like he did just a bit of work late in the game. (Maybe you meant that, but my first take was "designed the whole site" from reading your "The designer of the LDS website.")

2nd comment is incorrect.

I flagged this for being wholly inappropriate and insulting. Denigrating someone else's belief system is not appreciated here.

It’s quite funny to me that the Catholic Church (of all churches) has a very decentralized internet presence. Every church, every diocese, is responsible for their own website. They each have to find someone who does it and they have to pay. The Vatican’s website doesn’t seem so much like website for the whole Catholic Church, it’s much rather all about the Vatican and only about the Vatican. What you find on the internet is very much patchwork.
This is a church: http://www.st-elisabeth-bonn.de/
A diocese: http://www.bistum-regensburg.de/
The Conference of German Bishops: http://www.dbk.de/
One of the many German Catholic portals: http://www.rpp-katholisch.de/
All German but the content isn’t important here. I think the patchwork is obvious.

#20The UX team at the LDS church is second to none. They made a concerted effort several years ago to hire the best (within certain ecclesiastical constraints) and I think they've succeeded. I would hire any of them.
They have a strongly, user-driven dev process that brings high fidelity mock-ups into the process well before development starts. UX works directly with the customers (different organizations in the church) to make sure they get what that want, leaving the program managers to ensure delivery.
The underlying CMS (which I worked on), on the other hand, is something else. :)
