"\ndigg_url = 'https://www.seroundtable.com/archives/015268.html';\nI just got my invite to Microsoft's new Live Search Webmaster Portal.  It is currently in a private beta, so I am not even sure if I can blog this, but I read all the privacy pages, and most are returning not found errors, so I am going to post these screen captures for you.\n\n\nAfter you login, the first thing you need to do is set up a profile for a site you want to validate:\n\n\n\n\n\nOnce the profile is set up, Microsoft gives you an option to include a META tag in your header or an XML file in your root directory, so Microsoft can validate you are the owner of the site.  I opted for the XML file and here are the directions below:\n\n\n\n\n\nOnce you are validated, the site goes into your webmaster tools section:\n\n\n\n\n\nBy clicking on the domain, up comes a summary about the site:\n\n\n\n\n\nYou get information like last crawl date, \"domain rank,\" the number of indexed pages, if you are blocking the crawlers, and your top five pages by rank.\n\n\nClicking over the the \"profile\" section gives you the ability to revalidate your site, add an XML site map and update your email address:\n\n\n\n\n\nThere is also a \"Keywords\" link to show you how well you rank for particular keywords.  You enter in a keyword phrase into the box and click search.  Then it shows you the results of that keyword phrase:\n\n\n\n\n\nThere is a simple link tool that shows you your top 10, aka your most valuable, incoming links:\n\n\n\n\n\nThen it shows you your top links outwards to external sites:\n\n\n\n\n\nPlus, here is the page to input your Sitemap address:\n\n\n\n\n\nThey even give you a simple tool to validate your robots.txt file:\n\n\n\n\n\nThat pretty much covers it.\n\n\nThe most interesting piece is the way Microsoft illustrates the importance of your domain and pages by showing green rank bars.\n\n\nWe had a feeling this was coming soon, in fact, I hear others have access to it already, but no one posted any screen captures yet.\n\n\nForum discussion continued at DigitalPoint Forums."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
