nice, I was looking to see the difference. I have had a lot of issue with Ultimate, and was looking to switch over to simple.
How well does this work with an already exsisting site with 5000 items? will i need to manually create SEO friendly links or will it genorator automatically??
You should have no prob at all with 5000 products
I am currently using ultimate seo, if i change this module will my current urls be redirected to the new format? i.e. will changing hurt my google rankings in the short term?
If you are happy with USU, you may want to stick with it. Currently SSU doesnt convert USU urls so there might be small different between 2 types of urls generated by SSU and USU
