I just got off of a Skype call with a friend who recently set-up a new web-site based on Joomla. There web designer is unfortunately very unfamiliar with Search Engine Optimization, actually his response to SEO was “What’s that?”!

Although I probably won’t be able to help my friend out much with the Joomla Search Engine Optimization because of my current workload, I did find a helpful little book that could help him, and his web-designer, out.

The book is called “Little Joomla SEO Book“, is 22 pages long and is available as a free download. It covers the follow topics:

Part 1: basic Search Engine Optimization

1. Keywords
2. Titles
3. Content
