Hello,

I have a site that has about 80,000 indexed (when should only have about 10,000) due to an error in a post-back coding (programmer created individual url for each post-back vs. adding an id?= )... Anyway, going to fix the problem but in the mean time there will be some significant 404's coming in... thought about using this software:

SiteDirector .NET from NC Software

to try and ease the problem... any thoughts, experiance with this software and especially... how will the SE's react to it?

I'd stick with something that is highly recommended by other people such as ISAPI rewrite or ASP rewrite rather than chancing it on an unknown piece of kit.

They provide very little information about what the product actually does. They have plenty of sales jargon but no technical details. This is usually a sign of a product with little or no substance.

Their web site is tediously slow. I clocked it at 8 seconds to generate their home page. That should set off alarm bells regarding their ability to write good computer code.

It's also ridiculously expensive for what it does.
