Recently I decided to start answering commonly asked questions on Drupal SEO via blog posts, and I hope this is the place where I can share them with you. The first one talks about usage of pathauto, pathredirect, globalredirect, pagetitle, nodewords modules. Screen shots of modules are provided. Link to first article: Making your site SEO friendly: Part 1

I think the article needs
I think the article needs some updates to give better pointers.
You don't even mention the fact that screenshots 1 and 3 reference screens provided by the Pathauto module. Users will go looking for those screens and have no idea where to find them.
You then advise on making the "page title" different but don't explain that you need something like Page title module to do that.
In all cases you should say "navigate to X, Y, Z to find this setting."

Hi inservioweb,
You may or may not have seen http://store.lullabot.com/products/drupal-seo by Ben Finklea of Volacci.com? Ben is recognized as the foremost expert in Drupal SEO tuning, through his brilliant and simple SEO checklist module. All it does is give you a checklist of the other Drupal modules that need to be enabled and configured. The URL here actually points to a book that goes over everything in detail. Non-technical people can put themselves on the Google map, if they follow the instructions using Drupal with the SEO checklist. When I've shown people, they don't believe that it's true at first. I always get a big laugh when they see the results for themselves. The look on their faces is so much fun. You should consider using it as a general guide for your SEO series.
Best wishes,

greggles, sorry for not being
greggles, sorry for not being clear but the blog post is written for non technical people. I don't want to write about installing and configuring a bunch of modules. This is my way of telling people they should go with Drupal.

Redirect module
Hi,
I am pretty new to Drupal and was wondering what redirection module you would recommend for redirecting an old domain that has variables in the URL's. I keep getting trouble with dynamic filters that appear in the URL when redirecting through .htacess. Hope you can give me some insight on this matter as what would work best for SEO, as I really need to maintain my current rankings.
