Want to have a Top-Performing Website?
To The Internet Novice Who Wants
A Good-Looking, Top-Performing Web Site
Friday, January 21, 2004
Dear Internet Friend:
My name is Miroslav Chodak and I am the owner of Mikino.com. I run a successful consulting practice and my web site is among the top 1% most visited sites on the Net.
Few years ago, I came across a product that promised to be the all-in-one site-building, web hosting, and marketing solution for anyone who wants to build a popular and profitable online business. The product is called Site Build It!.
What they said — in one sentence — was:
You don't need to know a thing about HTML, web site promotion, or search engine optimization… and you can still build a professionally-looking web site that drives 100's, even 1,000's of free visitors from Google, Yahoo!, MSN and other search engines.
Hmmm… a promise like this warrants further exploration. So, I looked into the matter a bit further…
I found that some of the best-known and most-respected internet marketing experts, including Ralph Wilson and Allan Gardyne, wrote very positively about the product and the company selling it.
I dealt with both Ralph and Allan before and I knew they wouldn't promote a product which they wouldn't be absolutely sure about. That was a good sign.
But, I didn't want to spend — what seemed like a quite a lot of money — for a product before I was 100% certain that it will work for ME. After all, I already knew how to build a successful web site. Why would I need Site Build It!?
At the same time, I was intrigued… It's not everyday you hear from recognized experts about a product, which confidently promises that even the most inexperienced Internet novice can build a professionally-designed, top-performing web site that would rank well in the search engines and be among the most visited web sites on the Net.
So, over the next 18 months, I spent quite a lot of hours painstakingly verifying almost every statement made about Site Build It!. I have read studies, analyzed traffic rankings, looked up over 200 SBI! web sites, and interviewed over 20 SBI! users about their experience.
Here're the things that striked me most:
No Other Web Host
Delivers Better Traffic Results
Everybody knows that web site traffic is the blood of the Internet. Without traffic your web site is dead. It's as simple as that.
Yet, most web hosting companies do nothing to help their clients attract more traffic to their web sites. Therefore, it is no surprise that they give you zero (or only very vague) information about their clients' traffic rankings — one of the most important criteria to measure a web site's success.
Site Build It! is VERY different. Their whole focus in on helping you generate more traffic. And, boy, are they successful:
- A study of randomly selected SBI! client web sites found that 51% of them rank among the top 6% most visited web sites on the Net (click here for details about this study).
- Sitesell — the company behind Site Build It! — proudly displays a categorized listing of some 300 SBI! client web sites — complete with their traffic ranking information supplied by an independent, third-party service. Many of them are among the top 1% most visited web sites on the Net, and ALL of them are within the top 3% (click here to see the traffic rankings).
- They recently promised $5,000 in cash to anyone who can show them a web hosting service with better (or even comparable) traffic ranking results for their clients' web sites. Needless to say, nobody won the challenge and Sitesell kept their money.
- To verify the superiority of Site Build It! I searched for SBI! client web sites on Google (and found over 200 of them), then checked their traffic rankings with Alexa, a recognized third-party traffic ranking service. My findings were practically identical to the above mentioned study (click here to see my list of SBI! client web sites; click here to perform your own traffic-test).
Clearly, Site Build It! clients seemed to be getting far more traffic to their web sites than clients of any other web hosting service out there, bar none.
Better And Cheaper (!)
Than Big-Name Competitors
Next, I wanted to see how Site Build It! compares to its competitors.
Yahoo! Web Hosting Pro… Verisign Web Business Expert… Microsoft bCentral Professional… — all well-known names in the web hosting industry, particularly popular among the small businesses.
You would think that their products offer better value for money than their competitors'.
Not so…
First of all, the price of Site Build It! is the lowest among the four. Although, you would kind of expect it — given the big and recognized brand names.
However, when comparing the list of features, neither Yahoo!, Verisign, nor Microsoft come even close to the functionality of Site Build It!.
This IS surprising!
Many of the important features are simply NOT AVAILABLE in the big-name products! For others, you would have to pay additional fee to get it. On the other hand, Site Build It! has all the features included in one, low price. No additional monthly fees. No surprises.
At this point, I was almost ready to purchase Site Build It!, but I still wanted to talk to some of the actual users.
Complete Beginners
Report Excellent Results
I personally interviewed more than 20 SBI! clients about their experience. Having previously researched Site Build It!, I kind of expected glowing reviews, but I have to admit I was stunned by the results these people were getting.
The most amazing was the fact that it didn't seem to matter whether the person had prior experience with web site building, web promotion, or search engine optimization… or not.
The first group of SBI! users are complete Internet novices — people who have never built a web site before, had no prior knowledge of HTML, web site promotion, or search engine optimization.
As you will see from the below interviews, Site Build It! seems to be ideally suited for them:
A newbie drives 5,000 visitors per month
Thanks to SBI!, Tony Burtt went from not knowing anything about web design to having a fully functioning successful website in two months.
At the top of the Web in under 9 months
Larry DuLude wanted to share his futures and stocks trading knowledge with others. Thanks to SBI! it took less than 9 months for his web site to get to the top 1-2% of the Web and generate enough of income to pay for itself.
Generating leads for your offline business
Jerry Mack is using SBI! to generate customers for his medical imaging business. His SBI! website is now getting ten times more visitors than his company's main website.
New website grows fast with SBI!
It took only two months for Richard Gorham's website to reach 1,000 visitors a month and rank well in the search engines.
Home-based business on autopilot
Knowing nothing about HTML or web design, Jim Lehane built a successful online business with SBI!. He calls it an entrepreneur's dream come true.
Getting out of a 9-5 job
A bass-guitar player, Matt Haller, uses SBI! to grow a popular lyrics website that will one day supplement his daily job income, allowing him to spend more time with his band.
Making money at one hour per day
Retired radio professional, Robert Aycock, uses SBI! to successfully supplement his monthly income spending just one hour per day.
Mixing the drinks on the Web
George Courtney uses SBI! to happily share with the world his 27 years of experience in bartending and mixing drinks.
From Obscurity
To The Top Of The Web
Another group of SBI! users are people who have some prior web experience, but were never able to get the results they wanted.
My interviews with this group show that once they discover the power of Site Build It!, their Internet business takes off in the right direction very quickly:
Keyword optimization the easy way
A keyword optimization expert, Henrik Flensborg, used SBI! to get his website to a #1 spot in five major search engines for 71 keywords.
130 first page search engine rankings
Italian teacher, Carlo Callone, uses SBI! to supplement his income by selling affiliate products. His two websites get, respectively, 130 and 70 first page rankings in the major search engines.
Take care of your customers and profit
Erwin Steneker teaches others good customer service. Thanks to SBI!, the traffic to his web site is three times his original expectations.
Succeeding online in a small market
Karen Copeland is running a niche website for golfers in South Africa. She is at the top of search engines for her small market and loving every minute of it.
There is gold in your hobby
SBI! is helping Michael Boyter turn his hobby into a money making Internet business, so that he can spend more time with his wife and five kids.
Doubling the traffic every second month
Thanks to SBI! marketing expert, Kenneth Doyle, is making a full-time living on the Internet. He now wouldn't have it any other way.
Do what you love and they will come
Thanks to SBI!, Gary Goodworth now does and profits from what he loves most — writing about the world of the paranormal from a biblical perspective.
The secret is "find your own niche"
Jim Nelson's website focuses on a very small niche, "juggling supplies." Thanks to Site Build It! it now gets 3,000 unique visitors each month and ranks among the top 30,000 web sites worldwide.
Young mother sells on the Internet
A mother of a baby boy, Claire Bowes, uses the power of SBI! to successfully sell unique baby gifts from home.
Good content gets top search rankings
High quality content and SBI! tools is what gets Rupert Farrow top 10 positions in search engines for all of his keywords, plus keywords he didn't even want.
Web Professionals Use It, Too!
Perhaps the biggest compliment, and an acknowledgment of the power of Site Build It! comes from people who earn full-time living on the Internet — web designers, internet marketers, search engine optimization experts, super-affiliates and other web professionals.
The amount of time and money they can save with Site Build It! is simply irresistible:
More traffic with less time and money
Before SBI!, Ian Mc Allister used to spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours on his websites only to get a handful of visitors per month. Not any more...
Professional web designer impressed with SBI!
Professional web designer and Internet marketer Steve Nash was so impressed with SBI! that he is now going to use it to build his next money-making website.
SBI! beats professional web design firm
Francis Plummer fired his professional web design firm when they couldn't do what he wanted. He bought SBI! instead and created his investment website by himself.
A super-affiliate's dream come true
A full-time netrepreneur, Sabin Simard, uses SBI! to drive highly targeted traffic to his network of affiliate websites.
Everybody Else Uses It…
Why Not YOU?!
That was exactly what I thought after I finished interviewing the SBI! users.
After all I heard and read, there was really no excuse for not giving Site Build It! a try.
So, I purchased two copies and quickly built two web sites. Suffice it to say that after a few short months of testing, I was so impressed that I purchased two more copies!
Is Site Build It! right for YOU? All I can say is:
So far, I have never met anybody who followed the SBI! Action Guide and didn't succeed.
The way I see it, you have two choices:
- Continue procrastinating and never get anywhere with your Internet dreams.
Or…
- Give Site Build It! a try. Either your wildest Internet dreams finally become reality, or you gain an useful experience and get your money back. Either way you look at it, you cannot loose!
I have made my choice and so did thousands of other people like you and me. What will YOU do?
Go for it!
