Top 10 Drupal Modules for SEO

Tue, 06/19/2007 - 02:48 — cactus

Here are my favorite Top 10 Drupal Modules for SEO. Most are self-explanatory and can be found at the official Drupal site. Drupal.org. Here we go...

10. Service Links
Enable bookmarking sites such as del.icio.us, Digg, Reddit, ma.gnolia.com, Newsvine, Furl, Google, Yahoo, Technorati and IceRocket.

9. XML Sitemap (gsitemap)
Creates an xml sitemap.

8. Global Redirect
Checks to see if the current url has an alias set and does a 301 redirect to it.

7. Find Path
Helps find particular URL aliases.

6. PathAuto
This automatically generates path aliases.

5. Taxonomy (built in!)
Organize your content into categories and subcategories.

4. Search404
Executes a search instead of redirecting to 404 error page, but DO NOT use the "jump directly to the search result when there is only one result" feature. It will result in 302 redirects.

3. Page Title
Get complete control over each page's tag</p> <p>2. <a href="http://drupal.org/project/nodewords" target="_blank">Nodewords</a> (meta tags)<br /> Create custom meta tags for any page.</p> <p>1. <a href="http://drupal.org/project/backup" target="_blank">Backup</a><br /> If your site tanks you will know why you had this.</p> <div class="service-links"><div class="service-label">Bookmark and/or
