Add-on A Look At The Upcoming Public Release of SEO & Index Tools

A good idea and sensible business. As a small non-profit we would have to opt for low price, not out of being mean but purely because we are non profit and would continue to be so even if traffic increases.

But for big sites making big money I can see it worth them paying more.

I like the way Ampxf has a lower price for non profits.

Yep this is a model that works well and is a good compromise that will get your addon into most hands. Segment based on traffic as it's a solid indicator of revenue.

This will be happening but not on initial release. The problem is that doing so adds another layer of accountability, and the first month or so is going to require a lot of constant development attention with suggestions/ideas coming in.
 
Yes, it was released, but it’s currently unavailable.
Can you tell us about the current status of the addon? Such as...

*Is it being fixed for a new release?
*Are you able to re-release it currently or is there still a conflict of ownership?
*Or is there just a lack of interest, perhaps for a different addon to replace it?

I already saw that post and it's been quite a long time since that post.
 
Thanks for your opinion but people inquiring about something shows that there is still interest and would like to know about certain things.
By now, any conflicts could or should have been resolved, hence my asking.
 
As of now we have no plans to resurrect this addon.
If you ever do plan to, I'd be more than willing to help test it. I was an original purchaser (via their original website, not this thread), but with the addon being abandoned, that sucks.

What's planned but not in development?​

There's some cool ideas for later:
  • Front-end scanner for images - detect images with missing SEO attributes, alt text etc
  • Front-end scanner for links - detect broken links, missing SEO attributes etc
  • Google Analytics or Search Console integration (Admin charts/previews)
  • Rule conflict detection
  • Live keyword/topic system - add site keywords and show/recommend them when creating new content (Think Yoast SEO Wordpress plugin)

FAQ​


Q: Why is the addon taking so long?
A: Simply by looking at the features, this may be easy to see. The biggest issue is that this addon extends all functionality across all of the major addons and systems for Xenforo, in being a comprehensive solution. As Xenforo and addons change, development has to stay caught up.

Q: Is it close to release? What's the ETA?
A: The single issue holding public release right now, is finishing extending the new index system. Xenforo 2.2 changed the way threads are indexed, by adding its own criteria and toggles in the Admin. This immediately made similar functionality in the addon irrelevant, so that functionality had to be dropped and morphed around Xenforo's new method. Once this was complete, it had to be extended to all other addons and systems!

Q: Can you release it now and just patch those in?
A: No, as the addon's indexing method makes changes to the database, and I don't feel comfortable implementing the legacy methods for some content, and then making even more database changes later when features are caught up.

Q: Will it include AMP?
A: Unlikely no. For the simple reason that I've worked with @AddonsLab AMPXF, and it's a fantastic product. I don't see competing in mind and marketshare against an existing solution as a good route, and in fact a true AMP solution (such as AddonsLab's) would be far outside the scope of this addon (and price range!)

Q: What versions of Xenforo will it support?
A: This addon is one of my few that will only develop on a running current version of Xenforo, due to the many and rapid changes. It would be impossible to support this addon on older or legacy Xenforo, so a very recent margin of versions will be officially supported at any time (at least for addon updates).

Q: Will it actually improve my site's SEO rank?
A: If you configure it correctly, yes.

Q: Will there be documentation?
A: Yes, full documentation at public release will at least cover the major features. Various settings in the admin have very detailed explanations. Further, option sections for the addon in Admin have handy links to relevant articles and blogs from authoritative sources for the settings at hand.

Q: How much will it cost?
A: Tbd. I am torn between possibly a lot (to justify the insane development needs), or very cheap, out of my desire for everyone possible to have this addon. That is a tough call.

Q: Will it work with X addon or style?
A: There's already comprehensive addon support, and more will of course be implemented with requests. Styles are more tricky, as customizations to templates in a style can cause the addon's automatic Template Modifications to fail. However, this can also be patched.
