I know there are others who think differently, but I have found that Joomla 2.5/3.1 does not require the SEO extensions that were necessary in Joomla 1.5.
Just using the features built-in to Joomla 2.5/3.1, you can create SEF friendly URLs, unique page title tags, and meta description tags. And it is also possible to re-map URLs. Right now the only "SEO" extension that I use is Xmap. I always try to take advantage of the native features in Joomla before I start looking for third-party extensions. It cuts down on code bloat. As you may have heard, Joomla 3.1 now includes article tags, and there are article tag extensions for Joomla 2.5 if you want to put tags on your site. I have never bothered with article tags, but now that they are part of Joomla 3.1, I have started using them. So far, I have not seen any SEO benefits from tags, but they are helpful for on-site search and organizing articles. As long as the site has good content, good meta descriptions, unique title tags on each pages, and the sitemap XML file has been uploaded to Google and Bing webmaster tools, it should rank well in search. - - - Steve On Fri, Jul 26, 2013 at 10:49 AM, Unitel <unite...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello Everyone!**** > > ** ** > > Joomla 2.5**** > > ** ** > > Is it a good idea to install one of the SEO extensions, such sh404SEO or > MijoSEO.
