ARTIO JoomSEF
 Spam in your tags and duplicate URLs makes it a SEO disaster, March 29, 2008
3 of 3 people find this review helpful:

ARTIO JoomSEF This software is not worth installing. It does a good job, apparently, but all trouble it brings with it makes it not worth it.

If you're looking for something to boost your Google ranking stay away from this.

At first I was happy, thinking that my visits at Google Analytics were going down just because of the change. Than I decided to buy and install Joomla Tags with it. Well, for the tags to work it was necessary to disable the JoomSEF. Joomla Tags is also another terrible software with an even more terrible support, and worse: you have to pay for the software.

Then I looked up for support at Artio's page and voilá: nobody answers.

In the support forum I found a way to remove the spam, a tip another user. However, spam is really bad for your SEO, it comes in the tags. It's something the Google bot sees and you can only see it in the code (see source code of you page in the browser and you will find links to a hotel in Prague!).

Then I noticed how many duplicates of the same page Joomsef generates. It's a disaster, because visits go to different URLs for the same page, so you'll naver know the real number. It also scrambled my static links to the inside pages, awful!!!!!!

Don't use this, find another software.

Bad support (I'd say actually NO SUPPORT AT ALL), and if you are putting this to improve your ranking at Google than just stay away because it does exactly the opposite.

Phil Taylor's Tags for Joomla 1.0.x/1.5.x
 DISASTER, March 28, 2008

Phil Taylor's Tags for Joomla 1.0.x/1.5.x Joomla Tags broke all my templates - links to stories had code that should be hidden and this code was breaking the templates and going over the written text.

After installing the software the developer said it had a conflict with Joomsef. But that was not the whole problem. It was breaking my template.

The developer said he couldn't understand me, he couldn't see the problem and my English is bad.

Problems got even worse when I tried to unpublish the extension. The code kept breaking the template, preventing users to read the stories of the website, even when I unpublished the mambot. I had to uninstall the component completely.
