Introduction

Title Management, MetaData, Content Optimization, Site Management, SEO & Metadata

SEO-Generator is a SEO extension for Joomla, which automatically generates keywords and description for each article by pulling text from the title and/or the content, to help with SEO. It also gives you the ability to set different title configurations, robots meta tags and google webmaster verification keys. Joomla provides a great system for including metadata keywords and description on articles. When editing an article there is a spot on the right hand side of the page to edit the keywords and description (it’s under “Metadata Information”). This information is used to provide the tags for the page and to connect pages using the standard Related Articles module that comes with Joomla. But what if you don’t want to have to think up and type in keywords and description every time? Wouldn’t it be nice if the related articles plugin could just always work on the full text of the articles? That’s what this plugin solves. It works with every language.


Whenever you create or save an article in Frontend or Backend, this plugin automatically fills in the keywords and description for you.
It does this for the keywords by:
1. Parsing all the words in the article and ordering them by number of times used (you can choose to generate keywords from title, content or both)
2. Removes the most common words in your language from the list by comparing it against a blacklist
3. Adds the top words into the keywords section (Limit keywords by length or number)

After saving the article you can also make some own changes and any words you add to the keyword or description section will not be overwritten when you save. But what is with that many old articles without keywords? This version adds the ability to regenerate keywords for all articles in the database. Simply set the option to “Yes”, reload "Frontpage" and set it back to “No.” All articles in the database will now have keywords. You can save, delete or change the keywords for all articles by changing the options "Regenerate All Keywords and save it" and "Minimum Word Length" or the "Keywords-Blacklist". If you are not using "save by writing" then the description and keywords aren't saved in the article but the searchengine can get it from the sourcetext, because they are also generated "on the fly". There are Keyword-Blacklists in english and in german but you can use google translation to create your own Keyword-Blacklist.

On these websites you can see how it works:

Thats not all here some other options:
* brings back keywords for the frontpage in Joomla 4
* HTML page title configuration. Set your page titles in three different ways
* You can also customize what the separator is (in this ex. it's a pipe, can be any character).
* Additionally, you can customize the front page of your site's title tag to display a custom string.
* You can have one of four different layouts

Nice

Handy and easy to use. Quick reply from developer. I wasn't sure what was meant by "reload home" for the "regenerate keywords for all articles in the database," but it's that simple. Open SEO generator in your plugin manager, select "yes" for that option, visit your website's homepage, refresh it twice, and you have keywords for every page. I did a few articles page by page first and added some more terms to the blacklist in order to get more relevant keywords. Hopefully this will help our Google juice!
This plugin works just as advertised. Took about 2-3 minutes to set up and regenerate all my keywords. The only suggestion I have is to be able to 'blacklist' individual characters such as quotes (") and other symbols of the like. Those popped up attached to a few of my keywords.

Works properly !

Many thanks, the extension is awesome.

The only thing, there is an issue with UTF-8: it generates keywords looking like "?????, ????, ????".

-------------------------

How to solve: I just found the file 'SEOGenerator.php'. In it I replaced functions 'strtolower' to 'mb_strtolower'. And that's all. =)

It does what it says

This works perfect and the feedback of the developer is outstanding. Within 5 minutes answer to my questions.
I've installed this plug in in no time an configured it. The plugin comes with .txt file for black listed keywords so PR doesn't fall due to irrelative keywords. It generated KW for all my articles in a glance.



The developer was really supporting and responded to all my questions on the same day. Keep it up.



If you really seeking better SEO rankings, you should have this plugin, it does what YOU have to do for a very low price.
Hello,



I installed the newest version and with the installation of an other plugin it gave an error report. I contacted the programmer and in no time I received the solution. This support is incredible and the component works perfect!!





Thanks!

Christopher

Perfect!

One of the most tedious tasks as we all know is adding meta data to our sites. For $7.33 USD that just saved me hours of time. I don't know about you but I would like to think my time is worth more that $7.33/hr.! Thanks.
Great plugin, does the job. As far as old articles are concerned it only generates keywords and not their descriptions when one of the options are enabled. But for all new articles it does both keywords and description.



Unfortunately research shows that keywords aren't really utilized anymore, but the descriptions are important. So since it doesn't generate descriptions for all my old articles it wasn't as useful as i hoped, but for all new content it's good. It's too bad about the keywords, if I would have known this I never would have purchased the plugin...
Owner's reply: Hello,

the descriptions for the old articles are also generated - you can see this in the source-text of the articles - but the description for the old articles is not saved to the database because this is not necessary ;o)
the search-engines like google read keywords and descriptions from the source-text and not from the database. some joomla-extensions use the keywords from the database, thats why they are saved but the description is not needed in the database
seo-generator always generates keywords and description in temporary way and put these into the source-text
Based in europe, my website, www.breathwork.be, has some 800+ articles on breathwork. The task of placing good, seo accurate meta data against each article has been a real drag, but, necessary! SEO-Generator has changed all that. This is one plugin that should be part of the standard set of plugins shipped with the basic joomla , installation. It has certainly made my life a great deal easier.



Additionally, Matthias the developer, has provided rapid and professional support with some issues that I had with the plugin. He fixed them up literally by return email. Great, more developers could do with taking a leaf out his book.



Thanks

Good extension

Extension is super easy to install and get running. Support is fantastic from the developer. Only problem is the extension does not support meta tag generation through front end published articles - annoying for sites like myn who rely heavily on staff submitting articles to the front page.



However the extension allows you to generate the tags for every article, which could be done once a week for example to work around this. Recommended
