    Greetings,

     

    Our problem is authentication problem. We have XML in our root folder as LiveSearchAuth.xml and we also have META tags in our pages. We have no redirections beyond Rewrite mods only for certain pages, we have no restrictions to keep bots away etc. Nope, no luck...

     

    Web site is: www.chip.com.tr hosted outside of North America (unbelievable isnt it?)

     

    Both authentication methods fail...

     

    How can we solve this problem?

     

    PS: Is there support for sitemap indexes?

    @JohnS:

     

    Unfortunately, due to the reformating of the meta tags, we don't provide support for blogger currently.

    Hello,

    I also can't get authenticated. However, I think I know what the problem is but I don't have a solution. I am copying and pasting the meta tag, as provided by Live, just above </head>:

    <meta name="msvalidate.01" content="C06F7221A2D53A576F8CD7B25727611D" />


    Once Blogger has saved the code (I am using Blogger to host a very simple website), Blogger "reformats it" and it ends up looking like this:

    <meta content='C06F7221A2D53A576F8CD7B25727611D' name='msvalidate.01'/>


    and I think that's why the Live validation can't find the meta tag in my site.

    Any ideas .... anyone?

    I'm also having problems with the authentication. I have not added the meta tags, opting for the LiveSearchSiteAuth.xml method, but both return 500 Server errors to the Webmaster agent.

     

    I got past the issue I had with the "Site isn't valid" by using the full default URL: http://www.wtfolomgbbq.com/Default.aspx (Just host name wasn't working), and I've tested it with various user agents using Fiddler 2 (thanks to the "Cookieless" authentication/Browser/HtmlTextWriter issue, Google, Yahoo, and other bots were unable to retrieve my RewritePath permalinked URLs, but now they can), including using agent string "msnbot/1.1 (Live Search Webmaster Tool)" and I get 200s all day long, along with full text from the server.

     

    Needless to say, this is a bit frustrating. Is this an internal issue?

     

    Also, I've been getting a lot of crashes on this site from your server today.
