The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

Hi. I was looking for a pluging to change the canonical path of only a few articles and Tag Meta solved the problem, but to keep Joomla canonical by default and change only a few articles, you have to buy the "Enterprise version". No problem, 9 euros is cheap, and it solved the problem. Thanks!

This is a necessary addition for any Joomla website. It gives you complete control over the metas and canonical URLs for each and every page on your site. It's very easy to use and is the best SEO extension available for Joomla.

Hello.
Few day before i instal this extension, after traying some more popular, and witaut any results. :S
So i tray this then, and after some mistake (on my side) i send messages on forum, and after admin answer we two check all right, and now is solved my problems with meta tag. I use one component which are not make with Joomla 100% compatible, and because that i can add meta tagg in menu for link which that component make. So its hard to make on page SEO optimization. Now i can put meta tags for that link, and my page is now on the way. :) Thanx on help, and this great extensions.

Implemented & made effective within minutes. A must have for any serious Joomla! webmaster, specifically for section & category layouts. Also liking the look of the Authorship function.

Just found this extension and already I can see that within 5 mins I am going to save so much time with my meta tags and SEO. Already I have managed in a few seconds to change the meta author tag which was a real pain before. It is going to make my life so much easier ... THANK YOU!!

This is an excellent extension, I have a jomsocial site and it was a complete mess (SEO wise), using this I was finally able to do things right, very smart! and works perfectly!

This is really excellent.. I first wasn't sure about multilingual, but it's so easy, i figured it out.. For my site i needed two entries, that's it. Really cool, thanks.

This is a very nice piece of work! You will need some basic knowledge of SEO to configure it. I lack that experience, but the support was excellent, and less than two hours from my forum entry the developer had personally entered my site and set the configuration perfectly! And now it works like a charm, this far in two languages, more is coming! Thank you!

I highly recommend this for improving your Joomla! SEO. Works perfectly, really flexible, and scalable and supports noindex, rel=canonical, nofollow etc... and does a really good job of it.

It took me a while to get the hang of targeting the URLs properly but this was my fault not the extensions. It is really well documented and I had no trouble finding the info to help me.

Being able to create a hierarchy of rules is also really handy.

This extension can help solve a lot of duplicate content issues. Great Extension.

Tag Meta really helped me close the gap in my SEO. It was easy to install and use. When I had a question, their support was there to help right away.

I couldn't be happier with the product.

The component is really good but, unfortunatily i cant say excellent.

I have use it for my site there is tree view menu like
main category
sub category
article

The problem is once i set meta, keyword, title for main category it apply to all of sub category and article also even i have add in sub category and article link but it's not affect only parent item meta, keyword and title get.

all other is working fine.

Thanks
Developer

Very usefull extension. I'm using it on all my sites. Thank you

Does exactly what it says. Very easy to use even with no experience. Well worth installing. Cheers for a great extension.

I used it to add different keywords to individual products in a Virtuemart Shop.

With Joomla Core SEF, the keywords on each product are always the same (the ones chosen for the site), but thanks to Tag Meta, I managed to modify that.

N more needs to hack Joomla core to remove the tag "generator"(for security reasons!) and allows you to customize every page title at will. Long life to this component!
Recommended extension.

If you have some knowledge of regular expressions this plugin makes anything possible to add individual META-informations to any of your pages, that otherwise would show the default site METAs. I just made 2 small 1-minute-hacks to have a TEXTAREA instead of a limited INPUT field for META-descriptions.
But that's no reason to vote worse than 5 stars!
I have to copy many pages from an old internet site with very good SE rankings (incl. category, section, sitemap views) to Joomla. This component helps us to retain our rankings and additional informations for users and bots on ANY page.
Thank you, developer!

Thank you for this wonderful tool. It's absolutely necessary to cover the lack of Joomla native section and category meta description availability. Sections and categories must have their own meta in order to avoid that google detects duplicate titles and descriptions!

What a great extension!

It puts pay to the annoying missing META tags in section and category blog views. This is something I keep trying to improve on. I have tried virtually all the tools available, to beat this problem while sticking with the core sef. Even numerous combinations of tool at times and all had a weak point.

What I have been trying to achieve is a low/no maintenance automated solution to this poor SEO behaviour.

This extension doesn't fully automate the process but it dramatically reduces the time required maintaining it. Unless you are regularly creating new section and category blogs, in which case you will need to put in some effort.

The new Pro version released today, extends the options available in the community version.

For many users the community version maybe enough as it is an extremely powerful meta tool with it's feature set. However the cost of the Pro version, comes to little more than buying the developer a couple of beers, upgrading to pro is a no brainer!

The power of this tool is in the application of regular expression to control the actions of the plugin.

The developer has applied sound logic to this problem. Less is more with this extension! The developer has designed this tool to work in harmony with the core SEF/SEO. What this means is, content rendered in article view needs no extra intervention from this meta tool, Joomlas core manages it just fine.

At the most basic level you just need to apply this extension to menu items for section and category blogs.

The beauty of this product is that you can get more involved when and where you chose.

The developer also offers a url redirect tool called ReDj, available as a community or Pro version with the same pricing policy. The tool uses the same regular expression and macro techniques to redirect incoming urls.

The combination of these two extensions provides amazing control of meta data and urls.

Now here is the deal closer, you can use it to apply meta data to components, which don't allow for inclusion of meta data and with ReDj you can control the url, the pro version allows this to be done using server side redirection (nice).

All for the price of a few beers!

Other commercial solutions have a hefty annual fee, require a reasonable amount of maintenance and in some cases additional plug-in support, for other joomla extensions and they still have their own little quirks.

I hope I have done justice to the genius behind this solution.

If you are worried about the thought of regular expression rules don't panic! The documentation explains in more than enough detail, how to manage your urls for everyday use.

I would like to make one suggestion to the developer. I think it would be nice to have an input field with a radio on/off, which allows for a pre-append to the end of the site url. This would allow for site development on sites in subdirectories.
i.e http://domain.not/dev {siteroot} (as far as I can work out) doesn't allow a rule to be applied like so ^/section/blog.html$ the rule required would be ^/dev/section/blog.html$ in which case, moving to a live server in public root or a subdirectory of a different name, would require a change to /dev or its removal. I hope that makes sense.

Sorry for such a protracted review. With so many extensions available on here gems like this are easily overlooked by old and new hands at joomla. IMHO the combination of these two products, will give many old faithful SEO/SEF extensions a run for their money.

Great work, and thank you for making the price point of the pro versions accessible to all.

I just installed Tag Meta and it works right away. It's easy to figure out how to do things with it, even without reading the manual. Recommended extension.

Did exactly what it said it would do, I needed a seo component that would allow meta tags in multiple pages. Took me awhile to find one that offered the capability...

Thanks
