Joomla Extension of the Month - March 07

Joomla Extension of the Month - March 07Working with Joomla SEO on a daily basis, I've been through every SEO tool available. There's only one that has proved to be indispensible - the Joomla Search Engine Optimisation Patch from Joomlatwork.com.


What does it allow you to do?

 

  • Have complete control over page metatitles
  • Control whether Google takes a snippet from your page for the results page
  • Easily add "follow" or "nofollow" links to individual pages
  • Add custom meta fields
  • Disable the Joomla meta generator tag

All of these are key factors in giving your site a ranking boost. JPromoter from JoomlaEquipment.com does similar things. The disadvantage there is that you need to run a scan every time you add new content, although it has a major benefit in that unlike Joomlatwork, you don't need to modify core files.


The basic version is free and the expanded verion a mere 8 Euros. Great work Joomlatwork!

... although I consider a SEF URL component equally indispensible. smilies/wink.gif The Joomlatwork SEF patch is dead cheap for the great functionality it offers (that *should* actually be in the core).

JoomSEO seems to offer the same functionality with lots of editable options and no hacking.

Hi Mark

JoomSEO does it automatically which is useful in some situations.

For handcrafting metadata, you need this patch.

Hi,

Thanks for your review of the SEO Patch. I would be interested in seeing a review of the new extended version (also referred to as the Pro version). It looks like it automates the process but I can't tell if it has additional functionality from the free version.

Thanks
