Drupal Module: SEO Checklist

SEO Checklist is a must have Drupal Module for all Drupal sites. It creates a checklist with handy links to the modules/settings that help make your Drupal installation as SEO friendly as possible.
Now I know what you might be saying... "I'm a Drupal expert, I don't need a module to tell me what modules I should be running." Well, I don't believe you. Even the most grizzled developer can forget to add a module or *gasp* not know every Drupal module in existence.
In this (19 part, gasp!) series I'll be covering the individual modules that SEO Checklist recommends and the why behind them (Disclamer: I'll be talking about what the module does, not the SEO methodology behind it. If you want background check out http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/ and http://www.sprydev.com/why-links-help-seo). I'll also provide step by step screenshots of how to configure the modules since some of them aren't the easiest to figure out.

Andrew, Today I posted a new

Andrew,
Today I posted a new release (Beta) of the Drupal SEO Checklist Module for Drupal 6: Drupal SEO Checklist It's completely updated with more modules and dropped a few as well. Don't be afraid of the beta - it's actually pretty stable. I reviewed a bunch of people's opinions and checklists for SEO as well as the experience we have at Volacci. We've done SEO for 8 years and about 50 Drupal SEO projects. Let me know what you think.
