SEO Toolkit not visible in IIS Manager

  1. I want to use the MS SEO Toolkit.

    At http://community.discountasp.net/showthread.php?t=9433 I see Eric saying that this ought to be run from the client side.

    I installed the SEO toolkit on my machine, from http://www.microsoft.com/web/spotlight/seo.aspx

    Installing it should have created a new "Search Engine Optimization" group within the IIS Manager on my machine, as illustrated at http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/06/03/iis-search-engine-optimization-toolkit.aspx

    However, I don't see a "Search Engine Optimization" group within the IIS Manager on my machine.

    [I have successfully used the IIS Manager on my machine for other things, e.g. to specify URL rewriting.]

    Why isn't it visible? Is it because Discount.ASP is a shared host environment? Or can you tell me how to see it so that I can use it?
     
  2. Problem solved: the trick is to use IIS Manager to connect to my own IIS instance running on my own localhost (which I am allowed to connect to). I can then see SEO Tools in SEO Manager, and can use them to analyze the site on the shared host.

    SEO toolkit is purely a client side tool (in the IIS manager). As long as you have it installed on your computer, you can use it on every website.
