SEF DebateThe user in question claims there is little to do with SEF and page ranking. I disagree completely and thought you might find the debate useful for forming your own opinion. -- USER SAID: SERR.BIZ SAID: Sady, I disagree with you about SEF and page ranking. GOOD SEF kills two birds with one stone. It should INCREASE Keyword Density within the URL, and make the page more palatable to humans. If you are concerned about search engine optimization (SEO), your website should speak to HUMANS and SEARCH ENGINES equally. We have conducted hundreds of SEO audits over the years and constantly dynamic sites with SEF out rank sites without SEF. To that point, let’s do a search now and see. Search "Joomla SEF" in Google. This is what I see (I'm in the USA. Results may vary according to your location.) --Google Results 10/02/07 -- Joomla!

I've used them in the past, and am building an addon for SerrBizSEF, but have experience a lack of "google bot" activity because the site map is not updated enough. My recommendation is to use Google Site Maps if you can update it regularly. If your content is not changing that much, you might be better served just "verifying" you site with Google Webmaster Tools and letting Google find you often through RLP. -- If you have an opinion, please do leave a comment.
