Microsoft Releases SEO Toolkit


Offers small businesses help ranking on Bing, Yahoo, and Google

Even if you've already accepted the importance of SEO, think hard for a moment: when was the last time you clicked past the first page of search results?  Odds are, your answer confirms the need for optimization, and Microsoft wants to help with an SEO toolkit.

Microsoft LogoA post on the Small Business Blog from Microsoft announced this morning, "Microsoft has released a free SEO toolkit that can help you improve how search engines see, index and point to your site. . . .  [I]t processes your site in a similar manner and provides a report of the items and potential solutions to optimize a site's organic search results (regardless of search engine)."

That's a pretty nice offer.  The lack of a price is always a great starting point, of course, and it's also helpful that the toolkit is supposed to provide more than Bing-related suggestions.

Small business owners shouldn't stand to lose much more than a bit of time by trying Microsoft's SEO toolkit, then.  Which is a pretty reasonable risk given how rare it is for people to click past the first page of search results (or even scroll down a little ways).

One last semi-endorsement: the toolkit is the most popular offering on the Bing Toolbox site.

No love for the XP users?

I just tried installing this after watching the demo video, and it told me that my OS wasn't supported.  Did some digging, and it only supports XP Professional Edition (or Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server, etc).

That blows..

bait & switch to sell Win upgrades?

My laptop came with "Home" Edition, and I've yet to install a program that wouldn't run on it! (MUCH better than that quirky Vista!) Aren't most computers sold that way nowadays (with the less-than-premium version OS) to keep the total price reasonable?

Microsoft claims the program is free...but you have to buy an OS upgrade before you can run it??? I got free stuff f/Google, and I didn't have to upgrade anything! Is this just a way for them to coax people into upgrading to increase their sales?

I attempted to review the

I attempted to review the SEO toolkit, but it went "strange" on me.  Not sure what happened, so I left the site. 

That being said, SEO is vital to anyone running an online business, so hopefully someone can access this toolkit with success.
