ISAPI Rewrite

   I installed the EI Seo mods and they were easy to install (just like Greg said) and have worked flawlessly since then (jan 2, 2009)  Whether they increased by SERP is hard to know, as I have kept chipping away at on-site and off-site SEO things, so our pages are getting higher on Google.
So good job to EI on this one and thanks Greg for telling me how easy it was to put in.

	Hi Curt, You're welcome. BTW, Sean and I go back many years. We met when we were both Storefront developers. As a point of interest, Sean authored a 404-based SEO mod for Storefront 5 several years ago which has worked successfully for many moons. The big improvement of EI's approach over Sean's is how EI's adds the category and product ID in the new URL. That helps resolve problems with duplicate product titles. But Sean speaks from a background of significant depth. I'm in the middle of upgrading a store to v3.51 which was altered by another team to support ISAPI and I have to tell you it's a bear. They made several mods which are far more difficult to manage than simply using the SEO mod, and I can't possibly disagree with Sean's remarks. ISAPI does not appear to be worth the effort for SEO. I love it, however, for mapping "old store" to "new store" URLs, and have it running on all of our servers.
