Best Joomla SEO Extensions?
-
My website is a Joomla based website. My designer is good, but I don't think he knows that much about SEO . . . so I doubt if he added any extensions that can assist with SEO. I assume there are some good ones that can help my site.
Does anyone know what/which Joomla extensions are must haves?
-
Thanks! I downloaded the paid version of JoomSEF... the free version includes a link in the footer... kinda tacky for a client's website. The paid version was only $35.57 USD. So... crossing fingers.. here goes nothing!

According to CodeCanyon... the Smart SEO plugin is only valid up to Joomla version 2.5 (as of 1 month ago). Looks like JCH Optimize is for only for speed optimization.
Still looking for a good SEO plugin for Joomla. My client does not want to convert to Wordpress (even though they aren't selling any products, just service based org).

Hey Shivun,
I've been using the "SmartSEO" plugin for ~2 years and I love it. I think it cost like 10 bucks.. It simply gives you frontend access to edit meta data when you're logged in as superadmin. Saved me countless hours.
I also just this week installed "JCH Optimize" plugin which decreased load time nicely, a common problem when you run a Joomla site with bells and whistles.. The standard GZip and other plugins that do this would always break some part of my site, but JCH had enough options that when I tweaked em just right I reduced load time by about 30% without breaking anything.

Hi Everyone
I see this post regarding the best joomla extensions available on the market, As the post is dated now I thought I'd ask the question. Currently what are the best seo extensions for Joomla? Anything anyone can recommend?

Hi!
I work a lot with Joomla and my company also use Joomla CMS. We have tried several SEO components for Joomla and SH404Sef is without a doubt the best choice. SH404Sef gives you a lot of options to work with. It can be a bit hard in the beginning, but when you learn it you will never change.
-
There's a beta version of sh404sef for joomla 1.6 now (if that's what you're using).
Having said that, if you can move to joomla 1.6 you'll find they've made some effort to make it much more sef than 1.5 - though I did have to do some tweaks to get a canonical tag in there. I'll be using the sh404sef when it's out of beta to avoid fiddling around with menus to create clean urls.
Agree with Damon on the components - if you're using them then check compatibility with whatever SEO extension you use (if you use one that is)
-
Hi Damon,
I have experience with two joomla components for SEO
- SH404sef, Its commercial http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-management/sef/10134
- Joomsef its Free http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-management/sef/1063
The most important thing with these components, its to double check compatibility between these components and other components that you have installed. For example Joomsef might not rewrite the urls for Jevents components for example. (this is an example, might not be true)

Page speed in relation to SEO
I cannot seem to find any information about this, so I thought I would try to get a few people's opinion. How do you think pagespeed is measured in terms of Google using it as a ranking factor? Do you think they use their internal Pagespeed app? Something during the crawl? Your GA site speed?

Best SEO service/process to harness the power of quality backlinks?
What/who would you recommend for those looking for a strategy around realizing the benefits of high quality back links? We have tons of earned links from DA 90+ sites, but don't think we are realizing the full benefit due to onsite issues. We have scraper sites outranking us. Would it be a technical on page audit? Any guidance appreciated.

Deindexed site - is it best to start over?
A potential client's website has been deindexed from Google. We'd be completely redesigning his site with all new content. Would it be best to purchase a new url and redirect the old deindexed site to the new one, or try stick with the old domain?

Should I use canonicals? Best practice?
Hi there, I've been working on a pretty dated site. The product pages have tabs that separate the product information, e.g., a tab for specifications, a tab for system essentials, an overview tab that is actually just a copy of the product page. Each tab is actually a link to a completely separate page, so product/main-page is split into product/main-page/specs, product/main-page/resources, etc. Wondering if canonicals would be appropriate in this situation? The information isn't necessarily duplicate (except for the overview tabs) but with each tab as a separate page, I would imagine that's diluting the value of the main page? The information all belongs to the main page, shouldn't it be saying "I'm a version of the main page"?

Which one is the best
Dear Seo experts, 1,5 month ago i started a informative website, i started it with a blank registrated domainname. Now 1 month further I've stacked the website with content and did much linkbuilding. Yesterday i ve bought a domainname from quarantine, its a domainname around 6 years old and has a bunch of backlinks already. What to do next? The first one has good content and good recent linkbuilding done. The second is a better domainname and is old and has old backlinks. And also higher PA and DA then the first one. Should i now go for the first one and 301 redirect the old domainname to the new one. Or should I do it the opposite way, 301 redirect the new website to the old domainname and move all content to the old domainname and try to move all linkbuilding to older domain? Hopefully anyone could give me a great answere, thank you so much! Kind regards, Menno
