As the title suggests, JoomSEO is a customisable mambot that allows modification of the title.
Dynamically creates the title, meta keywords and meta description for content items.

The download and extension information can be found here
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/ ... Itemid,35/

This is currently still in alpha stage, but I will be adding more features shortly.

Enjoy


edit (change of title)

I have had a day off so have added some new features :D.

0.3
Addition of Pre Title and Append Title fields

0.4
JoomSEO now checks its published state
JoomSEO now includes defaults in botJoomSEO.php so a mambot save is no longer required

0.5
Minimum title length option now added to stop description stopping at very short sentences.
Added the ability to disable the bot from functioning on the front page.
Added the ability to override the title when disabled

0.6
Added heading tags support.  This adds the tag of your choice (

contentheading

componentheading

etc) around content titles.

I believe people will like the Heading Tags as this will help SEO and Accessability.

Phill

I had a sleepless night so have added many more features and cleaned the title up so check it out.

http://www.bathurstwireless.org/
This uses Site Name | Content Heading | First Paragraph
the order of items is adjustable.  This site is also using the added heading tags.

Now have a new home for JoomSEO being http://www.joomseo.com/

:(

Thanks for sharing your work..in my case I can't use it with Virtuemart, or better say i can but this is not the way i want. For example, all products from a category start with category name subcategory then product (and variations depend on what i select in admin area).

What i would like to have is to keep my original product name and just add meta tag keywords and description in code. About description, i use html code and some code appear on description ( // '); //]]> 65.) ?? i don't understand what is it

For example, this are meta tags for one product:

meta name="description" content="Memorii Memorii telefon-aparate foto-camere video Card memorie Kingston Compact Flash 1 GB Elite-Pro // '); //]]> 65." />


Romanian peoples can observe that some words are wrong (Arataascunde should be Arata, ascunde, Telefonaparate should be Telefon, aparate etc)

Also, i cannot use it with adsmanager, linkdirectory and joomlaboard, description and keywords are still those from configuration.

Thanks

At this point in time JoomSEO only works with content items.  I am still looking for a way to link into joomla without modifying any core files.
It is not looking to promising atm.  Still waiting for some hope here
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,143769.0.html

When browsing virtuemart it is using the joomla default keywords and and description.

// '); //]]> 65." /> is joomla converting characters to html entities.

When JoomSEO is running and generating you will see a generator tag in the section.
http://www.joomseo.com)." />

I will be making a plugin or modification of virtuemart to include the generation shortly.

Is the generator running when you get these words and are any of the characters in the bad characters?
Romanian peoples can observe that some words are wrong (Arataascunde should be Arata, ascunde, Telefonaparate should be Telefon, aparate etc)

Cheers
Philll

The generatos was running when i get these words (i have to unpublish now) and no, should be not included in bad characters list because this words mean something, the only problem is missing spaces or comma to split them

Please let me know abot any modification for virtuemart (and/or any other modules from my previous post), i will be glad to test it

Thanks

The bad characters currently includes the comma in the list.  Did you take it out?.
Can you send the link to the page that is having this problem?

I will keep you up to date :D.

Thanks

I have now released JoomSEO 0.9.
This release has more fixes, updates and more configuration options.  JoomSEO is coming along nicely.
JoomSEO is now much cleaner and nicer to work with.

I just discovered that when people copy and paste their content (probably from MS Word) it is adding in non standard characters causing spaces to dissappear and other bizare things.  This is now my priority so I should have it complete ASAP.

Cheers
Phill

What do they mean by it only works with content items?  Also, how do you optimise it.  I have got installed on my website and it is generating words for headings that search engines just won't look at.  Have a look at the link to see what I'm talking about.

Options under "Frontpage Specific Activation" don't work as expected - they affect whole site instead home page only  >:(

JoomSEO seems to just generate single keywords... does it have an option/ability to generate keyphrases?

JoomSEO would be great if it gave you the opportunity of creating a description for each individual page, however it doesn't, it only creates keywords which is not all bad if you want something that is simple and fairly quick to set up, and it does work very well, the icing on the cake would be to add your own descriptions. If you don't mind forking out less than £10 and spending up to an hour changing files then Joomla SeF is probably one of the best search engine optimisation tools you can have. The free version will allow you to add descriptions to each page, the paid extension gives you much more control over your meta-tags such as headings which are incredibly important in my opinion. You are able to create individual headings and description for each page. I have implemented on various sites and working through other sites. It's quite amazing how much difference it does make on the search engines.

The only drawback if you can call it that with Joomla SEF (the paid version) is you have to make writable nearly 30 files on installation and of course you've got to make them unwritable again. Once you get used to it, you can do this task in about half an hour.

Hi,

Thanks for a great plugin JoomSEO :) . Some suggestions to make it even better:

1) How do we include Category (and Section) into the <title> tag? i.e. <title>title words, category</title>

2) How do we save the auto generated Desc and Keywords into the article itself?
- So that it reduces CPU (don't need to re-generate everything again when that article is displayed the next time)
- A switch to auto generate and SAVE Desc and Keywords into all old articles
- Articles now work correctly with the Related Items module because the Keywords are now stored in the articles

Thanks and have a great day! 8)

A suggestion to implement this.

At the article's Metadata Information > Keywords field, the data is stored as:
manual_kw1, manual_kw2,, auto_kw1, auto_kw2, auto_kw3

The ",," double commas is the delimiter where the JoomSEO auto keywords are inserted after.

We can also use the same idea for the Description field.

This will reduce CPU resource usage, as the meta Keywords and Description data are generated once, a flag is set (",,"), and the data is retrieved from DB instead of re-generating the next time the article is displayed.

This also allows other extensions (like Related Items and many others, some used in surprising and innovative ways) to unleash the power of the data stored in the article's meta Keywords and Description fields. Other extensions are now able to share, and even change, the data stored in the Keywords and Description fields.

Thanks,
Derrick :pop
