Editor's Note
- This extension places a link back to the developer's site into your website's metadata.

I hope this gets updated more often - Seeing bad reviews by people that don't do research just irks me thinking the developer will not continue working on this great component!
RSS "fix" is found here: http://www.joomseo.com/forums/5189.html?Itemid=13
This is great specially if you are managing a website with tons of old content that was not tagged with keywords. Using this plugin makes all those pages have relevant keywords and descriptions real easy, right away. You just need to fine tune it so it doesnt use keywords you repeat a lot on your, but that is a website-to-website setting.
For those complaining about the keywords it extracts from your content - it is NOT MAGICAL, it will not make up keywords your content doesn't include.
You have to include the keywords you want to be found for in your content. If your content does not have the keywords you want to show for... well, good look trying to make google like you by just using the keywords you want on the meta.

I just discover after days and days of search and forum help post this plugin generate issue with RSS Feed. I use default joomla SEF (with the 3 option enabled that mean Search Engine Friendly URLs + Use Apache mod_rewrite + Add suffix to URLs) the feed displayed by module mod_syndicate don't work. If I disable option "Add suffix to URLs" the feed work...but normally if you decide to enable SEF is better to enable also "Add suffix" if not the SEF is purely useless. You can see the discussion about this issue in Joomla Bug Tracker here:
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=18815
Conclusion...if your website require to have SEF enabled with Add Suffix enabled and if you want propose to your visitors to subscribe to your Feed using a syndication link don't use this plugin. Another point is probably also the fact the development of this plugin is no more active and absolutely no support is provided... Too bad because I will be happy to pay for a working plugin without this issue...

I have installed this plugin on my site seo-gnome.com to see if it would be a good addition to the already long list of extensions that I install standard on all my client's websites.
I mean no disrespect to the author of this plugin with the following review. It is just my honest observation.
The long and the short of it is this plugin does not do the job. You are MUCH better off handling your own meta tags.
Here is the actual meta tag that this plugin set for my site:
Out of 25 "Keywords" only 2 were sort of relevant and none were what I would consider to be good keywords.
I would not recommend this plugin to anyone at any time. It is simply garbage.
With regards,
Ron

Ive been trying SEOSimple, SEOMeta, Artio JoomSEF, and think this one is the best so far. Simple and effective and plenty of options too.
Thanks a lot!

I does not work for me.
I installed it, read the docs, such as there are and nothing. It does nothing at all. I explained my problem on their forum, and no support at all.
I am looking for an alternative, if you try it and it doesn't work out the box move on, because I have really tried to get this working and nothing.

I really like this plugin i have been using it years. Just lately i find out that it work in most component only some components it does not work at all ( blank title and description ) and some component repeated description.
The developer seem MIA so 0 support i hope someone can take over and continue refine this.

Easily configured.
Automatically inserts:
* Page titles for each page
* Meta contents for each page

Plenty of options.

Excellent Plugin, works as expected. Easyly to parameterize.

Can't go without it, excellent plugin, exactly what i was looking for.
bydpitalia on July 14, 2009
Very good plugin but I have a problem with it: I can't make title appear as h1. Can anybody help me?
bykspoddar on July 10, 2009
This is an awesome plugin and I would love to use it. Unfortunately, it creates a major issue if you are using this with the JA Purity template.
Instead of showing the meta data description it shows time, date, author and other irrelevant information.
This problem is ONLY with JA purity template

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");"
bytme_power on April 21, 2009
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.

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.
byShowMeCreative on January 6, 2009
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!!!
