Yes, you are right it is a minor detail, some might want different ways of displaying the links, ie category names instead of numbers, or just a completely different way of doing the links:

instead of:
listings/new.html

they might wish to make it:
newlistings.html

instead of:
categories/9.html

maybe:
categories/9/categoryname.html

I haven't ever used SMF, but it does look better than a few others I have tried. Is it easy to skin?

How would one SEO the script differently? You mean just using different keywords in the links and such? Seems a small detail really. The only thing keeping me from the purchase of 68 is that these mods are another $30-50 each on top of the hefty $200 cost of the software. I need the dev version because I have some code change I will need to make. I suppose, I shouldn't complain because if I do get 68, I plan on trying to sell my classified ad broadcast system as a mod.

Maybe the SMF usershare as well.

Well, one could argue that any module or change should be free and part of the script, but sometimes features are requested and these get incorporated as extra features to spread the cost of the development.

I understand where you are coming from, in the web environment the SEO of websites is very important. However, some people might want to SEO their script differently and I'm guessing this is why it isn't built in.

Why aren't these included with the stock software? It seems some modules would really increase sales of 68 classifieds if they were just included. Heck, all of them really. I think the software is expensive enough as it is without charging extra for modules like this one.
