Actually is not only a mather of search engine robots, its also for you user and it gives a higher clickthhought rate on the search engine resultspage. And even thoud the robots can handle parameters like &? etc in your URL, theru still prefer clean urls over the ones with parameters.
So if you want better performance in Bing, Google and Yahoo so have to active the SEF options in Joomla! as a standard, and they are much better know than they used to be.

thanks, In fact, SEF is not necessary because current search engine is good enough to know SEF or non-SEF, so both of them will be the same from search engine views

I am sad that it is difficult to upgrade 1.5 to 1.6 or later. 1.6 looks better, and 1.7 coming. but on the other hand, joomla runs slow that it will bad for SEO, google doesn’t like slow website .

Comment on Using Metatags in Joomla for getting more visitors by Herbert-Jan van Dinther

@Sandandart: First thing you need to do is to use SEF urls, currently there are a lot of paramaters like ? and & in jouw links. Make a small investment into the SEF404 component and set the url extension to .html Then look at the SEO Patch from http://www.joomlatwork.com that will enable you to create better HTML Titles. Implement the two and wait until Google revisits your site, you could use and sitemap.xml generator to speed up that process.

I have almost exclusively used WordPress to build all of my sites initially. However, after a friend of mine who only uses Joomla showed me how he sets up his sites I definitely can see some of the benefits versus WordPress.

Luckily, I found this site to help me out with my new application.

Can anybody that has some SEO experience as well as WordPress comment on the ease or difficulty you may have had in getting sites to rank for specific keywords using these two platforms? That would be very helpful to a Joomla Newb!

Thanks Guys and Gals in advance.

If possible try and register a domain name which includes one of your primary keywords. The benefits of doing this is that you can increase your click through rates from the SERPs plus it will help you build upon your keyword rich inbound links from other web sites.

@conq ty quang cao: Try to run it through Googles Feedburner system and see if that works.
If you use Firefox and click on the RSS feed button in the addres bar the feed works fine.

So from a technical point of view the Feed works as it should, be the persentation is not correct, by using Feedburner you can overcome that problem.

We used the exact same process and it has worked out great for us! Well done! We had a NYC plumbing company that wanted to be on the first page of Google. Obviously, NYC has several plumbing companies, so this was quite the task. A combination of good workers and this process, made it happen!
