SiteBuildIt Background Story:

Before we review more on SiteBuildIt, let's deviate our topic a little bit and read about the stem story that caused the birth of SiteBuildIt. We will Return to SiteBuildIt review after the story.


The key technologies of SiteBuildIt stemmed from Ken Evoy's early adventure in marketing his own software tool PennyGold back in 1997 (Ken Evoy is the founder and President of SiteSell.com. PennyGold is a software tool specialized for penny stocks investment. PennyGold is no longer being sold on market today since Ken promised only to sell 1000 copies). Click here to read about Ken Evoy's background and PennyGold (open a new window. So that you can come back to continue this page after you read about PennyGold.).

With the outstanding success of PennyGold, Ken Evoy put together what he has learned and packed them into an ebook, "Make Your Site Sell (MYSS)". This ebook described basically all the key techniques and key components to the success of online business, such as "create products that over-deliver the promise", "targeted traffic is the blood for your business", "make search engines love your site". The ebook is available at the price of US$29.95 at http://myss.sitesell.com/sbihome.html.

The ebook MYSS (1,500 pages) is actually much under-priced. The reason that MYSS is selling at so low a price is that they use MYSS to pre-sell their core product - "Site Build It". SiteBuildIt fully integrates all major key techniques described in MYSS into one single package.

If you have some web-building experience already, I recommend that you check out MYSS first before you go for SiteBuildIt. MYSS main page: http://myss.sitesell.com/sbihome.html. Or read the related review: Make Your Site Sell Review
 

SiteBuildIt Review (By Bing W. Lu):

So, that's all about the background story of SiteBuildIt and MYSS. Now let's continue our SiteBuildIt review. We will review the key features and components that come in the package.

SiteBuildIt Website Building Features:

SiteBuildIt has built-in webpage templates for your site. So you can build a website, without knowing HTML and program. All you have to do is to create content - something that you probably know about.

 For example, if you are planning to open an online store for clothes and shoes, I guess you might know quite a lot about the clothes and shoes that you want to sell, and those things will be your content.

SiteBuildIt takes care of the programming part for you. It provides the entire interface for you to input your content so that you don't need to know about those coding stuffs.

SiteBuildIt has built in graphics tools as well, so that you can modify to make your site look customized. And when you change the graphics (on your logo or master template) ALL the pages are changed. This is a big time-saver.

SiteBuildIt Marketing Tool Features:

SiteBuildIt has a Keyword Research Tool that helps you the profitable keywords in your niche. This tool is very helpful, no matter you are a novice website designer or experienced webmaster.

The basics of keyword research are described in MYSS. You can do the keyword research manually, it usually will take days of work. Using SiteBuildIt, same or better results can be achieved within minutes (better in the same that SiteBuildIt also tells you the profitability potentials of each keyword).

The Keyword Research Tool might cost well above $200 alone by itself.

Sit Build It package includes an electronic newsletter publishing system, so that your visitors can join your mailing list. You can e-mail your visitors/clients regularly and stay in touch.

Paying for a newsletter publishing system alone could cost you about $300 per year if you buy it somewhere else as a stand-alone tool.

The autoresponder system is also included such that if someone commit a purchase on your site, she/he will get an automatic response.

SiteBuildIt Traffic Building Features:

After you set up your site, SiteBuildIt will submit your site to major search engines, including Google and Yahoo, among others.

It will also report to you the rankings of your webpages. If your ranking is not high (not among the top 10 pages returned by, for example, Google), SiteBuildIt will analyze your webpage and tell you how to improve it.

Using the search engine optimization feature offered by SiteBuildIt, an almost computer illiterate, Karen Copeland (http://www.golf-travel-packagessouthafrica.com), achieves #1 rankings in Google for 75 of his pages, besides others in top 10.

Well, these are features I think that are important. They are also unique since usually hosting package won't have them.

Considering that a regular hosting package without these features will cost you above $200, and taking into account the fact that SiteBuildIt also has unlimited storage and bandwidth, you can't lose by choosing them. In fact, you are making a smart decision if you buy SiteBuildIt now at the price of $299.

A final note, SiteBuildIt comes with a 30-day money back guarantee. After the 30-day money back period, they will refund on a pro-rated basis.
