Re: Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)
Just stumbled upon this new mod. Is this another SEO Url mod? Your name of the mod confused me a bit.
Could you elaborate on what is different compared to Ultimate SEO and Simple SEO?
Thank you.

I'm afraid that I haven't used those mods so I can't give an exact comparison. I've encountered Ultimate SEO when working on other people's sites and I don't like the way it adds product IDs and category IDs to the URIs it generates.
Our (Ceon's) SEO module is called "URI Mappings" because it allows you to map whatever URI you want to a particular product/category/EZ-Page.
The URIs aren't generated "live" like Ultimate SEO, they have to be generated or specified in the Admin. This is easily done though.
The main advantages of Ceon's URI Mapping module is that you get clean URIs and that you can use whatever URIs you want.
This is good news for anyone who wants to advertise URIs anywhere as they don't have to have "random-looking" formats (with IDs etc.) which results in URIs that look so much more professional and are much easier for people to read and/or remember.
Also, anyone moving from an old site that already has specific URIs for their products etc. can keep using the olds ones and everything will still work perfectly.
A good read of the feature list should show you the other advantages of the module.
I hope that helps!
All the best...

Very nice!!! Always good to have choices. You can do the same thing with Simple Seo Url through link-alias though.
Re: Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)
Thank you for explaining. Seems an alternative if somebody just wants the mapping and no automatic url rewrite.
Otherwise, SSEO from yellow would be at hand.

It features "auto-generation" so it's ideally placed for new stores.. by default a full URI will be auto-generated for a new product/category/EZ-page.
It will also be auto-generated if you are editing a product/category/EZ-page which doesn't yet have a URI mapping.
Instead of generating a URI when the customer looks at a product/category/EZ-Page, the store admin user(s) create the URI when adding/editing products/categories/EZ-pages...
so it is automatic, but in a "different" way. :)

I just took a look at the website for that module and its code and it seems to be a good module also.. however it adds product IDs etc. by default which I find ugly. The new alias feature is great but that didn't exist when I wrote this module and it requires more work for the admin user(s) than the auto-generation features of this new module (for products/categories and EZ-pages but not for other pages, it's easier for them!).
As yellow says, it does no harm to have a choice! (Thanks for the nice comment yellow1912) :)
Hope that makes things clearer still!
All the best...

Yup, thanks to this zencart users no longer have to buy commercial seo module any more.
For current SSU users: new version of SSU will come with a nice link alias table using jquery grid as well as the fully automatic url mapping as well, so no need to worry ^_^
