Kristen,

Thanks for taking the time to put together this list.

You might also want to check out the Content Analysis module and its SEO and keyword analyzers and tools.

I think http://drupal.org/project/seowatcher would be a great addition to the list. It helps you monitor if the SEO modules you have used and how you use them are indeed effective. :)

Thanks

Wow. I'll be working on a drupal site that needs SEO and this list just made my module crawling so much easier! Thanks! :D

Table too large

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 05/04/2010 - 08:14.

Hey, wtf is this shit? Your table is too big for this body content and I can't reach those links in the right column. Try to move all blocks from righ_sidebar to the left_sidebar for this page only so the content could be accessible.

Browser?

Submitted by kristen on Tue, 05/04/2010 - 15:11.

It would be helpful if you would leave the information about your browser in your comment.

Being more polite would be nice too. This is all free information and I make *very* little on the Google ads (only pays for hosting with very cheap GoDaddy).

It works fine in my Firefox browser.

Chrome

Submitted by kristen on Mon, 05/31/2010 - 18:23.

Someone was nice enough to email me directly (thanks Sean!) and notify me that the problem was seen on Chrome. So I was able to reproduce and fix.

Nodewords Disable the module in themodules page.
The feature implemented in Meta Tags by Path is now included in Nodewords; there is not need to use Meta Tags by Path, and the module should be disabled to avoid possible conflicts.

Combined

Submitted by kristen on Fri, 02/19/2010 - 15:52.

Yes, the nodewords authors have been rolling in the nodewords by path functionality, so newer versions of nodewords are all you need instead of installing both.

I would also add the

I would also add the canonical URL module (http://drupal.org/project/canonical_url) as this is really a big advantage from an SEO perspective

Deprecated

Submitted by kristen on Sun, 01/31/2010 - 17:41.

According to their project page, it's deprecated since the functionality has been rolled into the newer version of nodewords:


"Starting from version 1.2, nodewords module has full support for canonical URLs. I strongly encourage everyone to use nodewords module instead of standalone canonical_url.
After release of nodewords 6.x-1.2, canonical_url is considered deprecated module and will be shut down after reasonable period of time."

Node Breadcrumbs

Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 10/11/2009 - 20:09.

This is a great module for creating breadcrumbs. Easier to work with than Custom Breadcrumbs.

http://drupal.org/project/node_breadcrumb

Great list, I shall be looking into a few of those you mentioned.

Glossify Internal Links Auto SEO

Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 08/30/2009 - 11:00.

Check out and also add in the above list the module called:
Glossify Internal Links Auto SEO

It autolinks your site's content pages to one another - wonderful for SEO automation. Thus you can boost the Google PR of one page from PR-s of another pages.
