what is the best SEO extension for joomla?

Hi Kian20,

Good question. Based on my experience i think two extensions as bellow enough for SEO on joomla.

1. SH404SEF
NEW: Joomla 2.5.0 stable ready
New: sh404SEF goes social!
- Create and insert Open Graph data
- Insert Facebook, Tweeter, G+ and G+ pages icons
- track all likes, shares, tweets, pluses clicks in Analytics dashboard in your site backend.

And still with:
- Built-in Google Analytics support, including reporting right in your site backend
- your own tiny urls: shUrls
- Full urls and meta data management
- QR codes
- and HTML 5 tags to improve SEO of paginated elements, canonical headers for pdf, etc

Multi-lingual support
Easily redirect 404s to suggested SEF URLS
Use Joomsef or AceSEF extensions for increased compatibility

sh404SEF rewrites Joomla URL to user-friendly format (SEF URL or URL rewriting): mysite.com/index.php?option=com_content&Itemid=69&id=34... becomes mysite.com/en/sh404SEF-and-url-rewriting/list-of-available-plugins.html).
It is also a security component. Page title and meta tags manager for every page. With or without .htaccess file. Joomfish compatible. Caching system for high speed and very small DB queries overhead.
Support many components natively: VirtueMart, K2, FlexiContent, Kunena, Jomsocial, Community Builder, mosetsTree, Sobi2, myBlog and more. SSL switch, automatic 301 redirection from non-sef to sef, insert Google news style numerical ID,.. Many backend parameters to control URL construction behavior.
Since 2.1: mobile visitor detection and template switcher

2. ZT Autolinks a must seo component for joomla
ZT Autolink - SEO and Internal, External Links Management + Keyword Advertising Extension.

ZT Autolinks automatically detect the keywords and phrases in site content and replace them with the links that managed in administrator. ZT Autolinks provides automatic SEO benefits for your site in addition to custom keyword lists, nofollow and much more. It's a MUST HAVE SEO component for Joomla.
