I am running josCommerce and Marketplace
(classified ad component) and both are compleatly
ignored with this application.
There are very few paramters to try to fix
this problem in the component so at first comparison
with opensef would be one on the skimpy side.
My components (mentioned above) are still are using big
ugly long non-friendly URLs. So as far as I can
see this app is doing nothing useful for me.
The other 'normal' content pages on the site do
work well with this component however.

It's definitely an awesome extension though the way i see it, not very different from the previous one. I have three small things id like to see improved: 1. turn www.mysite.com/index.php into www.mysite.com (without the index.php). 2. The newsflash is creating a mass of urls in the administration part. Not sure whether this is damaging, but anyway. 3. If you use pagination, page 1 can't be the same as the menu link.
This is indeed an awesome component. One issue I have with it is that when you leave off the index.php/index.html, you end up with a 404 error. To better illustrate what I am talking about, lets say that the path to your weblinks component ends up as such:
http://www.thisthingrocks.com/links/index.html
and you put the following in your browser:
http://www.thisthingrocks.com/links/
you get a 404. It would ROCK if this was reconciled in a future update.

After working with Open Sef for a couple days and confronting some issues I installed this comp and it worked out of the box. It also has the right fix for the Joomlaboard and tunes perfectly with Community Builder.
I can experience a magnificent difference in speed performance of my site compared to Open Sef or core SEO.
!!! and thx folks....great workship to the Joomla Community

This is the best SEF component around here. Its neither so basic nor so complex.
Michal repsonded very quickly to my question. Easy to install, easy to use and great results.
As you can see, the com_ of ARTIO JoomSEF is continously rated 5 by 8 users including me.
This SEF com_ is the best not only for English language users, but also, or the more important rule, it makes non-English language users like me to enjoy the fun of SEF perfectly.
Suggetions to Chinese, or Korean, or Japanese, or Arabian .... any non-English language users: When you use this SEF com_ , just name your Section/Category Name with your native language and name the Section/Category Title with English, then name your article Title with your Native language and name the article Alias with English.
Now, you can see all those words on the frontend are still in your language but the ARTIO JoomSEF com_ will extract link elements from those English Names you just given.
I want to rate this com_ as 100 if they had set this number.

This is one amazing component. Installed like a dream and works even better. The best part - well there are many.
My two favorites:
1) Turn on or off by COMPONENT - this means it will work with virtuemart for example.
2) 404 to redirect - easily convert 404 errors from the log into SEF with one click.
Man is this hot!
