Blurb by Shaun Anderson (Hobo)
So Joomla week ends on the Hobo blog, and we’ve created a beginners guide to Joomla SEO.
If you’re creating a Joomla site, apart from creating useful content, intelligent website structure and getting links to your site with your primary keywords in them, consider these 7 on-page / on-site seo tips for Joomla;
- Turn On Joomla Search Engine Friendly URLS (SEF)
- Install The sh404SEF Component
- Make Joomla URLS SEO Friendly
- Good Page Titles & Clean URLs in Joomla
- Insert H1 Tags In Joomla
- Create A Unique Home Page Title In Joomla
- Prevent Duplicate Content Problems in Joomla
Hope you found these tips useful…
Did you know when you link to a Hobo SEO post we have search engine friendly links back to your site if approved? Our comments are also search engine friendly you know (once you've commented on a few posts)! Do you need any more encouragement to get involved in the conversation ;)
Really nice tutorial.. It helped me a lot.
Oi Shaun. Was just doing some Joomla stuff and remembered you had posted some things to make my life easier.
Though when I get here, your bloody links don’t work! Number 1,2 and 3 are missing.
I only needed the name of that component though so I will let you off this time.
Hmmm – they defo used to work – I remember testing them. Fixed the issue now – don’t know what happened!
Actually, can you explain more detail about how to use Joomla, i tried to use it, while i really could not know how to take advantage if it.
Interesting stuff. Been working in conjuction with developer who created a site with joomla alowing a novice like myself to help create and develop the site
nice. thanx the main set is 404sef component right?
Good stuff. As ever Hobo-Web share their knowledge and make it clear.
I just dove into the Joomla pool, having a personal website made into one. I do like Wordpress but Joomla has a more professional look in a lot of cases.
