There is a free version of this, called WPMU. However, you WILL need some help with getting it set up and working right. I attempted to do it about 2 years ago.

 SEO Book |
I would like to make a couple of recommendations.
1- If you still use another Internet Browser like Internet Explorer, I suggest that you make a switch to Firefox. There are alot of reasons for this, and someday I’ll go in depth and list them, but for now, there are several extentions or plugins that are SEO tools at your disposal. You can download it from SEO for Firefox.
2- If you want to learn more about SEO, go to SEO Book and look around at the many articles that Aaron has that will help you with SEO. If you can afford it, buy his book, SEO Book.
As Aaron puts it,
“How Much is a #1 Google Ranking Worth to Your Business?”
This will help you to get FREE traffic to your website by getting it to rank well in the search engines.
