What you need for this book

This book describes how to improve a Joomla! 1.5 web site for search engine rankings. You need to have a Joomla! 1.5 web site installed and hosted on a publicly accessible server where internet users can have free access to it.

You need to know how to install Joomla! components and you need to have access to the administration panel on a super administrator level to make some changes in the configuration of your web site.

You also need to have access to the root of your Joomla! installation, preferably using FTP to install the SEF patch and to change your robots.txt and .htaccess files.
