New in 0.8RC1,2&3:
- Removed "new admin interface" to maximise compatibility
- Major code refactoring.
- New option to process content plugin prior to generating keywords/description.
- Now supports whitelist for multi-word keyphrases as well as single keywords.
- New option to allow generation of keywords only from whitelist.
- Merged with development AK SEO to allow frontend metadata editing.
- Page title controls.
- Hardened new parameter interface to improve performance in non-English systems
- Improved UTF-8 support.
- Change to regenerate all to relieve server strain on big databases.
- Bugfixes...

To upgrade to v0.6 you need to uninstall v0.5 and then install v0.6 as normal. Requires Joomla 1.5.4 or later.Language fileMini-API allowing use of addkeywords functions for other extensions
Add Keywords works by:
Parsing all the words in the article and ordering them by number of times usedRemoves the most common words in the English language from the list by comparing it against a blacklistAdds the top x number of words into the keywords sectionGenerates a description based on number of characters/words/sentences
Many thanks to James Frank at http://jamesfrank.info for his hard work over the past few years.
You know, this is just one of those plugins that just MAKES SENSE.
The keywords it detects aren't always what I want, but of course, you edit them manually if you like. What this does though is 1) gives me a great starting place grabbing the most relevant keywords or phrases from my article body and 2) allows user-generated content to become semi-SEO ready even without having to do anything.
It's a great tool. It's not a "final" solution for SEO or keyword generation; it's a great time saver and gives you a great starting point in generating your article's SEO metatags without much effort.
Great work!

It works amazingly well for my Joomla content, but does nothing for my K2 articles...am I missing something?
I'm very pleased with what this does. I am using it with FJ Related Article Plus module and it is producing some very good results... I also wanted to mention the first class support I received from Matt - thank you. With 350+ articles on my site and having generated the Meta by hand I am very pleased to have found this plugin for the future. I would highly recommend this plugin.
I have used this and earlier versions for several sites. The latest beta version covers meta descriptions and keywords. One option is to limit descriptions to the first x words of an article. This imposes a good discipline on your writing. A most useful plugin for any site :)
Generating keywords doesn't work with utf8 characters. When non-English characters appear, word is truncated and only part of the word is included as a keyword without this non-English character. This is a serious bug.
Works fine from the moment it's installed on articles you create from that point on, but not on the existing articles. "Regenerate all" function doesn't work on meta description, it works for keywords only. This is not a big deal really, but it would be nice if it would work as expected.
Anyway, I like it, it's a good plugin, with a big minus for not supporting utf8 characters in keywords.

UTF-8 is fully supported as of 0.6.9. However, this will not work properly with versions of PHP older than 5.1.
Thanks for this great extension. Easy to install, works as expected. One feature suggestion: List of keywords which SHOULD be used as a keyword (opposite of the blacklist). This way if such a word exists it will be known to be important. This can be helpful for getting company/product names, technical words, etc. into the list of keywords.

Whitelist functionality has been added from the 0.5 version.
This is a great tool... especially when first launching a website and developing the articles. I would suggest regenerate all when you first launch this tool, then resave any articles that you've created. After you've resaved or created your initial batch of articles, then unclick regenerate all. Then go back to select articles and change the metadata keywords to include some of the key phrases as well.
In essence - This is an awesome word Parsing Tool!!!
What a time saver - thanks a billion!

Good extension. I'm using it (0.3.0 version) on my website though having couple of troubles.
1. In Russian language "Minimum Word Length" option doesn't work (can be partially bypassed by including short words in blacklist)
2. Blacklist doesn't understand words in Russian that begin from uppercase, so some words (beginning from uppercase) are included into keywords though they are in blaclist (written in lowercase). This also can be cured by extending the blacklist with words beginning from uppercase.

What would be ideal is a keyword generator that takes the words NOT FOUND in a dictionary (ie people's names). This extension generated too many words that really had nothing to do with the article and also took some of our scripts and CSS as well.

It sounds like the problem you're having isn't actually with the plugin itself, but with the list of disallowed words. You can edit this in a parameter in the plugin configuration. You should find a list of the most common English (or other language) words and use as many as you want; you could even put the whole dictionary in there.
As far as it grabbing scripts and CSS, I'm not sure exactly what you mean. If it is not stripping out HTML tags, please file a bug report.
Thanks! This is a great extension!
I have build several websites for my clients, and all websites include this extension. My absolute favorite feature is that you can exclude keywords. It is very helpful when the website is on one subject (i.e., science, so you may want to exclude the word "science").
I highly recommend this extension to everyone with English-language website. Too bad it doesn't work with foreign-language sites, but, hey - can't have everything!
Thanks once again, keep up the good work!

Simple and does the job in an instant. More feature suggestions:
APPEND MODE - if some keywords already exist, keep them and append additional keywords up to the maximum. Preserve sequence so writers can identify the ones they entered vs those automatically added.
NO CHANGE MODE - only process if metadata field is empty.
Give stronger weighting to keywords in the title, H1 tags, etc.

These functions are now fully supported.
Hey I like the idea of this plugin, also I would like to give feedback: if you have defined keywords tag, this plugin will replace them after editing an article, so your construct must include an additional if !empty condition do not modify and save.
Other ideas
1. As a special feature, the most popular keywords in article should be placed first.
2. How much black list items support so far? Could it not generate tags because of too much or many?
3. When edit article in fontend, and plugin is enabled, save and cancel buttons error.
