I love this plugin - the only requests would be to:
- Add ability to change or turn of the "generator tag" in joomla
- ability to handle double word keywords commar seperated (thats if that is valid seo?

other than that, this rocks, and takes about 3 min to setup. It has got several of my sites to top of google automatically... Love it

If you're missing the UTF-8 support of this extension, just replace line 368 in JoomSEO.php with this code: "$text = mb_strtolower($text,"utf-8");"

Plugin very good but not support utf-8 site and meta decs is format: Content + + Date creat + Author + content is not config.
I think user Jstring in plugign

I installed this in a clean sandbox version using the latest RT template that incorporates VirtueMart and all seemed ok at first. Then all of a sudden an error was produced something about invaild compression being used. That's where we uninstalled but once uninstalled now no matter what we do the plugin manager will not show any new plugins after install. They show in the uninstaller but nowhere in the manager.

I;ve used the non 1.5 version and never had issues, but ever since 1.5 it seems everyone is trying to play cat and mouse to get everything up to the same level, pity we still fight to make what should be simple to install.

Very simple to use and also very powerful!

Just installed and pleased so far.
But i dont like the vertical seperator | in the title, is there a possibility to change it? Just cant find it, not in the settings and i cant find the plugin-folder neither. Pls help.

simple, lightweight and works fine. No complaints here just a request. I wish there is an option to add category and/or section names to the page title. I hope author will add this feature.

I had the specific need for a plugin that would simply create meta titles, meta descriptions and meta keywords. I did not want url rewriting as the sef component standard with joomla 1.5 is quite sufficient. I searched and searched...

Then I found this plugin. It is extremely lighweight and it simply works. It does exactly what I stated, everytime!

This is one of the best plug-in of all the similar products, but after using several weeks unfortunately I found the bad char/word removal feature is NOT for double byte languages (or NOT UTF8 compatible) and was doing harm on the title-bar... If I look into the code the word removal is simply for the Western languages. We need the feature of disabling this.

Waiting for the version-up!!!

Ok tried it and it really creates the URLs in a friendly way. It grabs the alias words and makes the URL of it. wHAT COULD BE SIMPLER?
on the other hand sh404 makes URLs with the component word (at least without configuring it better) and an all bunch of unnecesary numbers.
It's so simple and nice im really happy with it.
Feature request: Grab tags on wrappers if a wrapper is in use. Or check wrapper url and add it to a friendly URL. Have both option available would make this SEO bot even better.

Easy to install and use. But need to experiment to get the required results.

For example, descriptions are taken off the title and first few lines of your article. So by changing this in the article, you can control the description in the meta tags.

Keywords are words that are frequently repeated in the article. You can exclude keywords by adding them in the bad words section. You can include keywords by repeating them in the article.

Thinking about it, this is the exact way search engines gauge your site and decide on what it is all about.

Thanks for a great tool!

I have been looking for this for ages.
Easy to install and VERY flexible.
The blacklist is wonderful because of its flexibility. You can add words that might be keywords for other sites but are not good for your site. It will take some time to get rid of all the keywords I don't want but way less time than if I had to fill in article by article like I used to.
THANK YOU! Keep the good work going! For instance, a little bit mroe flexibility for the description (something like start at line x or paragraph x) would be nice, but as it is I love it :)

What I see on the description tag here is

article title + created date and time + author name + article description

I could not find an option to control the description. In this case for me, the article title, created date and time, and author name is problematic. I wish I could turn the automatic description off.

One of it's best part is 'bad words' which prevents those words appear in the keywords. But it does not work with the description. If it could, it would certainly have been the best SEO plugin of Joomla!.

If the developers take my suggestion, please provide an option to control description tag, as well.

The plug-in does a very good job overall, once it is configured correctly.
The "bad words" option is excellent to filter out the most commonly used words (and, or, the, of, is etc.), so they will not be used as keywords.

It does not, however, support non-english characters at all.
The character "æ", for example, shows up as "æ".

This makes it useless for nearly any site, that is not written in english and that is a real pity.

I've installed it on two sites and it is a one-second install with default parameters that work just fine. Reading the tags it generates gives me good ideas on how to tweak my content for best effect. Thank you so much for this plugin.

I've tried them all and this is the best SEO plugin. If you have not upgraded to JoomSEO 1.5.2, do it now! Any issue I had with JoomSEO has been fixed with the latest update.

The previous versions worked fine except for the frontpage settings. Now that is fixed.

As for proof that it is doing a good job, all I have to do is check my Google webmaster account to see all my Joomla sites moving closer to 1 in the popular searches.

I have to say that the lack of documentation for this plugin makes for a very poor product. I received no response on the forum, have yet to find a way to contact the developer and am not sure that I have configured the plug in to maximize its potential. All the developer needs to do is either include a configuration tutorial with the download or make one available on the site. At that point I could run the plugin through its paces and decide if it's any good or not. For now I am uninstalling it and trying something else. Developers need to remember that people of all skill levels will be trying their products out and need to walk them through the initial configuration so that they can get their web site where they need it to be instead of wasting time.

I loved the old version of JoomSEO but this most recent version seems quite different than the old one I am used to. The old version had a nice, easy to understand control panel with tooltips for each of the settings. This version has only a list of parameters with no descriptions or assistance provided. There is no help file or documentation, and to top it all off when published it makes every page on the site (except my home page) come up with a blank white page with the words: Restricted Access.

The page here at Joomla.org says it is for both 1.5 and 1.0. Considering the other problems and the fact that it would not install (I had to upload the files to the mambot directory manually) I wonder if that is a misprint and this version is for 1.5 only?

Great little plugin. Works great across the site, but cannot seem to get it to work with Mamblog on the title tag. Overall excellent plugin.

The component works great except it includes funny content in the data an I can not get it out. and I can not copy and paste the character into the Bad Characters because it changes into a (ý)?
