Looks interesting. I will have to try it. Then I guess I will have to fix all the problems. Darn. More work. What happened to the "get rich in 10 days on the internet" dream I am still clinging to from 2001?
Thanks for this!

Well, considering that 10 days in Internet years is about 2 decades in people years...

It says Windows XP Pro SP2 is an OS it'll work on. After installation when trying to run it says it doesn't work with this OS. That's MS for you. But thanks for the link, engine.

^ are you using it on a computer with IIS installed?

You need to install iis. It was bundled with xp pro, not home edition. It wasn't installed by default. You need to install it from the install disk. Mack.

Strange, I mentioned the SEO Toolkit back in June [webmasterworld.com] and nobody seemed to care, the only reply I got shot me down in flames... ;) I've been using it since about May and have been very pleased with it, the only gripe I have is that it doesn't always play well with the URL rewriting module, flagging some rewritten links as invalid.

You'll need to fix that issue because internal server rewrites shouldn't affect the response codes returned for URL requests. Use Live HTTP Headers to check the response codes. This sounds like a server issue.

That is because you were ahead of your time and not on the front page. :)

XP Pro SP3 and I got the "not supported OS" bit too. Then I manually turned IIS on and I still don't see anything in the installer about Bing. Gee, sure would be nice if it worked. - John

In theory this is a cool tool to have but it strikes out with me. Strike 1 - forcing me to install IIS when I have no other use for it.
Strike 2 - missing some important SEO features.
Strike 3 - I found one recommendation I consider Google unfriendly.

Thanks, I'll give that a try, as the links look fine to me, and copying the links (and clicking on them in the source pages) results in the expected page being shown. | Not working. facing problems with OS. I am using XP SP2. |

AFAIK, the SEO toolkit only works on IIS7 (which is not available on XP). The Web Platform Installer can be installed in XP, but not the SEO toolkit.

That was because in June, Microsoft sucked. Isn't it amazing how much can change in a few month? (Actually, I don't think MS has changed at all...)

just like some programs force you to install java when you have no other use for it.

As noted in other threads we should be caring LESS about what we think the goog likes.

It requires IIS7 which requires Windows Server 2008/Vista.

With Goog bringing in 70% of my search visitors and Yahoo/Bing splitting most of the rest I'm still inclined to follow G's doctrine first. I'm not about to make my site friendly for Bing at the expense of Google, they are still in different leagues, so I was disappointed to be advised(though not surprised) by this tool to make one such change. edit: I'd post the exact advice if it wasn't probable that doing so would send the thread into an SEO debate. I'm just stating why my personal decision is to pass on this, for now.

Ah, does not work with XP so not worth my time then. Vista and 7 got rid of the good elements of Windows that had been with us since 95. On an unrelated note I've been spending more time of late messing around with various Linux distributions. - John

Exactly; MS is still the same crap it has always been. Bing is just useless to me, I'm not sure why people rave so much about it when it can't compete with Google, IMHO.

Never mind the Google fanboys... Even when Google tanks and goes bankrupt and asks them for their first born so they can again save the world, fanboys will gladly blindly follow them.
Nothing will ever change that.
