IIS SEO Toolkit

Joe,

Have you tried running the IIS SEO Toolkit against www.mojoportal.com? You have to point it to the sitemap.ashx for it to find all the links, which is fine. The issue is every single page it finds says it does not have a title tag in the header, description meta tag, and no h1 tag. The funny part is the toolkit allows you to see the content of the pages found with these errors and you can see all three items it says it is missing. I' m just curious why it reports this way against mojoPortal websites. I know it is just a tool to assist with SEO, but seeing how Scott Gu and company are pushing it in there blog posts, etc. it might be worth understanding why it is reporting these violations as I could see it potentially turning some people away from using mojo. Just curious.

Re: IIS SEO Toolkit

Hi Ryan,

It seems a bug in the IIS SEO Toolkit, it doesn't seem to be able to handle the html 5 doctype.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

With this doctype it stops crawling after just the home page and reports violations that do not exist.

When I change the doctype to xhtml it crawls the site as it should and reports true violations only and no false violations.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >

doctype is controlled at the skin level in the layout.master file.

I will report this issue to Microsoft.

Best,

Joe
