My PHP installation is not working? I am not able to run my PHP scripts? A simple PHPINFO page is not loading in my browser? These are typical questions I hear from users in the forum.

One of my favorites features in the IIS Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Toolkit is what we called Report Comparison.

This is a really convenient way to track not only changes in terms of SEO violations but also to be able to compare any attributes on the pages such as Title, Heading, Description, Links, Violations, etc. How to access the feature There...( read more ) Read More...
