Why is Joomla SEO Component Important? How to SEF URLs in Joomla?
Nowadays, SEO (search engine optimization) is a magic formula everyone uses. And there is a reason. Having clean, human readable and understandable URLs and suitable metadata will help you to attract more visitors to your site. Optimized URLs and metas are better evaluated by search engines and will help your website to appear at higher positions.
Even when Joomla is very advanced CMS, due to its openess and expandibility, core Joomla SEO capabilities are limited. Goal of JoomSEF is to help Joomla users overcome this and improve their Joomla site SEO rating and make their site search engine friendly (SEF).
