Best Joomla SEO extension?

Anyone know the best / easiest Joomla SEO extension?

The SH404SEF site offers a 30-day money back guarantee if that is a concern. Also they host forums and in my experience they reply quite promptly to questions. The site also offers user guides, FAQ and more: http://anything-digital.com/sh404sef/user-manual.html

Down here, we use RSSeo since it's almost an all-inclusive plugin for Joomla!
Now, initially I thought it would pre-populate the meta description with unique content as well as change the titles to pick up some relevant page info, but no dice there.
After tweaking with it, it turns out that it will completely create a separate index (hence the index.php prefix when using K2 and RSSeo) which could possibly pull some link juice away.
However, it seems that all that needed to be done there was just utilize the RSSeo redirects (also included under the Extend option) and all duplicated pages in the K2 index were 301'd over to the index.php portion.
RSSeo gives much more manageability (IMHO) because you can uniquely attribute appropriate meta titles, description and even add keywords (not really big on that, but hey, I'm old-fashioned).
Whatever your choice is make sure that before you install your SEO plugin, be sure that your page was already indexed (if you are not familiar with the plugin so that you won't be penalized by the SE's in case you make a mistake) or if you are familiar with it, plug it in and wait for the clicks to roll on through!
CHEERS!

SH404SEF and AceSEF seem to be the two most favored SEO extensions for Joomla.
SH404SEF is a pure SEO extension. It focuses on core SEO and the author is a SEOmoz reader.
AceSEF offers a lot of extra functionality outside of the core SEO. The extra functionality is useful such as internal linking, site maps, etc. but those features can also be obtained from other extensions.

I used AceSEF for a few joomla sites I have built, does the job but can't really comment how good it is compared to the others. The free version puts backlinks/ads on your page, but since it GPL you can go in and remove the links from the code.... if you know where to look
edit: the real problem is finding if its compatible with the other extensions you are using, or if the seo mod you use has an add on for that extensions, and how much that cost.

What are the SEO implications of URLs that use a # in them?
I have several clients who have begun to ask questions about sites that are designed to look like a single page. When you click on a link, the URL changes but it uses a # before (i.e. http://www.kelloggs.com/teamusa**/#**/teamusa/athletes/kerri-walsh.html. What are the SEO implications of having a page set up this way? I noticed that Google has indexed this page but the indexed URL does not include a #. Is Google indexing a separate version of this page? Any insights would be really helpful! Thanks

Global SEO Targeting
Hi, I have a website currently on the domain example.co.uk (.com is not available) I'm looking to enter other markets such as Brazil, Russia - obviously content will need to change to suit the desired market / language. I'm looking for some information on the best practice to enter foreign markets. I was thinking maybe to create individual sites for each location eg: example.br example.ru This way I could localise each site in terms of business directories, content, language etc. Or have my example.co.uk with various languages on it Experience, suggestions are welcomed - thanks.

301 Redirects - SEO Benefit?
Hello, Years ago, our company started out as a Yahoo store. We've since moved onto another website with its own shopping cart but since the Yahoo store is almost 10 years old, there's a lot of history there and it still exists with the occasional order. We currently use it for reputation management purposes with links to our real ecommerce site but we're thinking of just redirecting the Yahoo store to our ecommerce site. Is there any SEO benefit in doing this? We were also kind of penalized by Panda. Would this help us out at all (the descriptions on both sites could be considered duplicate content).
