OpenSEF alternatives for Joomla SEO

I wrote some time ago that OpenSEF development has been taken over by new maintainers.
Because I don’t know yet how and when a new release is planned I thought I would start looking at alternatives to some of the most used features in OpenSEF.
Now, don’t take this the wrong way, OpenSEF is still a great component that has many great features and you can still Download OpenSEF
So here is a short list of the items you could work with to get the best options for Joomla SEO in Place:

• sh404SEF – The best free SEF Component at this moment
  I even provides a function to edit you 404 page and give you a proper Joomla 404 Header!
• iJoomla Metatag Generator – Getting an overview of the Fields you still have to fill with Metatag Descriptions and Keywords (you can even do it automatically.. not recommend for best results)
• Sef Service Map , this was the hardest one.. because you can give Google, Yahoo, Ask and Live a sitemap file to make sure they can find all the content on your website.
  OpenSEF has a great part in it that creates a sitemap.xml file with the SEF URL in it…
  I tried Joomap and encountered the same problems as Joemar and tried the new version of Sef Service Map, and that worked out fine!
  It even updates the file automatically after the cache time, so this on it a set and forget it… an improvement over OpenSEF.

You can use these separate components and get even better SEO work done, but the installation and configuration takes a little more time, but that is well worth the effort!!
