Well, you remember the service I told you about that helps you write better SEO copy and has an integrated plug in for Joomla (and for Wordpress, FYI)? Well, they're having a special promo that only lasts to the end of the month, and if you don't take it, you'll be sorry. The professional account usually costs $97/mo, but you can get it for $27/mo if you sign up now.
- Log into their site here: Scribe SEO LLC
- Create an account
- Sign up for a professional account with this promo code: PROMO27
300 reviews a month, $27 - that's dirt cheap for advice and proofing on SEO content creation.

I've always been impressed with the work that Joomlashack does, and so I am pleased to give them kudos for integrating Scribe into Joomla in a comprehensive and easy-to-use component. Frankly, I had never even heard of Scribe until I heard about this little release, but because I like to investigate new components, I gave it a whirl, and I have to tell you, it's pretty nifty. Scribe, in a nutshell, is an online service that will analyze your content for SEO correctness, keyword density, and gives you all sorts of advice on how to improve your SEO standing, and all the while improving your copy for relevance to your readers as well as the search engines.
The only downside is that the Scribe service costs money, and charges by number of monthly reports, which means it can add up to be an expense for smaller sites whose contents change rapidly. However, it's a small fee to pay for the relative benefits it could provide, especially if you do your best to create good SEO copy to begin with, and follow the directions provided by the reports for improvement concisely. It could save you hundreds of dollars in copywriting costs that you might pay out to a professional SEO copywriter, as long as you're willing to put in the time.
So do I advise this component? I think it's a good one, and I'd advise signing up for Scribe's free trial, and hook it up to your Joomla instance. They give you 10 free reports a month, and that's enough to give a good evaluation. I did just this and I like what I see.
