In the new version of the IIS SEO Toolkit we added two new reports that are very interesting, both from an SEO perspective as well as from user experience and site organization. These reports are located in the Links category of the reports Redirects This report shows a summary of all the redirects that were found while crawling the Web site. The first column (Linking-URL) is the URL that was visited that resulted in redirection to the Linked-URL (second column). The third column (Linking-Status...( read more ) Read More...

The Web Deployment Tool provides a way to delegate application creation to non-Administrator Windows users or IIS users. This blog covers how to configure this particular delegated setting. If you have not yet set up some users, or are not familiar with remote administration, I highly recommend going through this walkthrough: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/159/configuring-remote-administration-and-feature-delegation-in-iis-70/ before trying out these steps. Server Admin Steps 1. Install the Web Deployment Tool (MSDeploy) Use the Web Platform Installer (can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx ) Run and choose Web Deployment Tool 1.0 and click Install. This will also pull in any dependencies you don’t already have on your system. NOTE: This might take a while if you are missing a lot of dependencies (particularly the Windows Installer 4.5 – as this may require a restart) 2. Launch Inetmgr Click Start and type inetmgr. Press Enter. 3. Open Management Service...
One of my favorites features in the IIS Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Toolkit is what we called Report Comparison. Report Comparison basically allows you to compare two different versions of the results of crawling the same site to see what changed in between. 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...
This blog outlines the basic steps for setting up IIS Manager accounts so that they may be used for Web Deployment Tool delegation. Most of the steps particular to using IIS Manager users for delegation are required for connecting remotely using the Windows Management service, so if there are already accounts set up for remote management, that work has already been done. The following steps will allow IIS Manager accounts to be used for management service delegation. Step-by-step instructions with screen shots may be found for steps 1 through 4 on this page, with their section title added in parenthesis : http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/159/configuring-remote-administration-and-feature-delegation-in-iis-70/ 1. Make sure that Windows Management Service is installed ( Configuring Remote Connections in IIS Manager ) 2. Enable remote connections for IIS users ( Enable Remote Connections and Configure Identity Credentials ) The previous steps only need to be performed once, however the following...
Today somebody ask in the IIS.net Forums how could they automate the process of adding IIS Manager Users and their Permissions using a script or a command line and I thought it would be useful to post something that hopefully will be easy to find and refer to. One way they found to do it through configuration however they were not getting the password encrypted. The first thing that I would like to highlight is that the password is not encrypted, it is actually stored as a hash which means just entering...( read more ) Read More...

A lot of sites today have the ability for users to sign in to show them some sort of personalized content, whether its a forum, a news reader, or some e-commerce application. To simplify their users life they usually want to give them the ability to log on from any page of the Site they are currently looking at. Similarly, in an effort to keep a simple navigation for users Web Sites usually generate dynamic links to have a way to go back to the page where they were before visiting the login page...( read more ) Read More...
The other day a friend of mine who owns a Web site asked me to look at his Web site to see if I could spot anything weird since according to his Web Hosting provider it was being flagged as malware infected by Google. My friend (who is not technical at all) talked to his Web site designer and mentioned the problem. He downloaded the HTML pages and tried looking for anything suspicious on them, however he was not able to find anything. My friend then went back to his Hosting provider and mentioned...( read more ) Read More...
The other day somebody ask me if there was a way to limit the amount of work that Site Analysis in IIS SEO Toolkit would cause to the server. This is interesting for a couple of reasons, You might want to reduce the load that Site Analysis cause to your server at any given time You might have a Denial-of-service detection system such as our Dynamic IP Restrictions IIS module that will start failing requests based on number of requests in a certain amount of time Or If you like me have to go through...( read more ) Read More...
