Best Joomla SEO extension?

Anyone know the best / easiest Joomla SEO extension?

The SH404SEF site offers a 30-day money back guarantee if that is a concern. Also they host forums and in my experience they reply quite promptly to questions. The site also offers user guides, FAQ and more: http://anything-digital.com/sh404sef/user-manual.html

Any user guides / videos on sh404sef plugin that you know of besides random youtube videos?

we use SH404SEF as well

Down here, we use RSSeo since it's almost an all-inclusive plugin for Joomla!
Now, initially I thought it would pre-populate the meta description with unique content as well as change the titles to pick up some relevant page info, but no dice there.
After tweaking with it, it turns out that it will completely create a separate index (hence the index.php prefix when using K2 and RSSeo) which could possibly pull some link juice away.
However, it seems that all that needed to be done there was just utilize the RSSeo redirects (also included under the Extend option) and all duplicated pages in the K2 index were 301'd over to the index.php portion.
RSSeo gives much more manageability (IMHO) because you can uniquely attribute appropriate meta titles, description and even add keywords (not really big on that, but hey, I'm old-fashioned).
Whatever your choice is make sure that before you install your SEO plugin, be sure that your page was already indexed (if you are not familiar with the plugin so that you won't be penalized by the SE's in case you make a mistake) or if you are familiar with it, plug it in and wait for the clicks to roll on through!
CHEERS!

SH404SEF and AceSEF seem to be the two most favored SEO extensions for Joomla.
SH404SEF is a pure SEO extension. It focuses on core SEO and the author is a SEOmoz reader.
AceSEF offers a lot of extra functionality outside of the core SEO. The extra functionality is useful such as internal linking, site maps, etc. but those features can also be obtained from other extensions.

I used AceSEF for a few joomla sites I have built, does the job but can't really comment how good it is compared to the others. The free version puts backlinks/ads on your page, but since it GPL you can go in and remove the links from the code.... if you know where to look
edit: the real problem is finding if its compatible with the other extensions you are using, or if the seo mod you use has an add on for that extensions, and how much that cost.

Some SEO 2016 questions
Hello MOZ Community, I have some questions where the following is still working for seo in 2016: Is an exact keyword in the domain still a good start? If a domain contains the most important keyword does one still need subfolders with that keyword in the url? Do you need multiple subpages so the main url becomes stronger? Is linkbuilding still the number one factor? Thank you for your thoughts!

SEO for Interspire Relic
Hi All, Does anyone know of optimization best practices for the now largely defunct Interspire Web Publisher? Specifically, I'm looking for a canonical plugin or workaround to try and get rid of a few duplicate content issues (most importantly root vs. index.php). I'd like to just redo the site with a cms that has better support...unfortunately client budget constraints are a little tight at the moment. Thanks!

International Seo - Canada
Our organization is currently only operating in the USA but will soon be entering the Canadian market. We did a lot of research and decided that for our needs it would be best to use a subfolder for Canada. Initially we will be targeting the english speaking community but eventually we will want to expand to the french speaking Canadians as well. The question is - is there a preferred version in setting up the subfolders: www.website.org/ca/ -- default will be english www.website.org/ca/fr/ - french www.website.org/en-ca/ - english www.website.org/fr-ca/ - french www.website.org/ca/en/ -english www.website.org/ca/fr/ - french Thanks

Help With Joomla Duplicate Content
Need another set of eyes on my site from someone with Joomla experience. I'm running Joomla 2.5 (latest version) and SEOmoz is giving my duplicate content errors on a lot of my pages. I checked my sitemap, I checked my menus, and I checked my links, and I can't figure out how SEOmoz is finding the alternate paths to my content. Home page is: http://www.vipfishingcharters.com/ There's only one menu at the top. Take the first link "Dania Beach" under fishing charters for example. This generates the SEF url: http://www.vipfishingcharters.com/fishing-charters/broward-county/dania-beach-fishing-charters-and-fishing-boats.html Somehow SEOmoz (and presumably all other robots) are finding duplicate content at: http://www.vipfishingcharters.com/broward-county/dania-beach-fishing-charters-and-fishing-boats.html SEOmoz says the referrer is the homepage/root. The first URL is constructed using the menu aliases. The second one is constructed using the Joomla category and article alias. Where is it getting this and how can I stop it? <colgroup><col width="601"></colgroup>

Advice on SEO for videos on a streaming server
I am looking for some advice on video SEO when the video file is housed on a streaming server. An example page is below. The onlyvideo element on the page is a script reading in the filepath to the streaming server so I am not sure what the best course of action is. Currently, none of our videos are indexed. http://www.sei.cmu.edu/library/abstracts/webinars/Making-Agile-Work-for-You.cfm

Best SEO strategy for a site that has been down
Because of hosting problems we're trying to work out, our domain was down all weekend, and we have lost all of our rankings. Doe anyone have any experience with this kind of thing in terms of how long it takes to figure out where you stand once you have the site back up? what the best SEO strategy is for immediately addressing this problem? Besides just plugging away at getting links like normal, is there anything specific we should do right away when the site goes back up? Resubmit a site map, etc? Thanks!
