Why I Don't Need a Site Build It Action Guide
Why YOU Don't Need a Site Build It Action Guide
First of all you get a $300 dollar hole in your wallet, ouch. Not what you want when starting a new website but there you go. The site build it action plan should be pretty awesome for this kind of money per site so lets take a closer look at any benefits.
SBI provide a keyword research tool called Brainstorm It! This tool is supposed to cherry-pick highly profitable topics for your site thus reducing hours of manual, keyword brainstorming and research to mere clicks. YOU DONT NEED THIS! Why would you need a tool when you can get the same information straight from the horses mouth as it were, the google adwords keyword tool is the prefect tool to uncover those potential keywords and its FREE TO USE! The Site Build It Action Guide claims that this tool 'literally brings back 10-20 times more keywords than every other third party keyword tool'. I don't see much point in generating large lists of unsearched keyword terms by scraping the web for content, with google dominating the search arena why would you want to go anyhere else for your data?
SBI provide you with a Domain Name each year for your $300, great! You can get a domain from Godaddy.com for around $8 a year, so that leaves us looking for the other $292 worth of value for the site build it action guide.
The SBI site tells you you dont need to pay for hosting, dang, i should hope not for that price! A good web host that has a 99% uptime costs no more than $5 a month, Hostgator is a prime example of this with great support and is the chioce of hundreds of professional internet marketers. So that $60, plus the $8 for a domain name, we are still looking for the other $232 dollars of value in the site build it action plan.
So what else do you get, well you get 'Creative Look & Feel Tools', these allow you to design customized, professional logos, navigation buttons with their browser software offering a full range of colors, fonts, textures, and effects. I have only one response to this... WORDPRESS HAS OVER 600 themes in their repository ready to download and instal instantly with hunrdreds if not thousands more available all over the web. MORE IMPORTANTLY WORDPRESS IS FREE, SBI IS NOT!
SBI and thier action plan has a 'unique' process that analyzes each Web page just before you build it. It attempts to tell you, in simple language how to optimize your wording to obtain high Search Engine rankings. OPTMIZE WORDING??? im assuming they mean on page SEO, while there are a ton of blogs out there dedicated to seo, i can sum up all you need to know in one sentance. Put you keyword in the title of the page, use it on the page between 2 and 4 times dependnig on the length of the page content and GO GET ANCHORED LINKS. Job done. Analysis Schmalysis!
THe Site build it action guide saves time, energy and money by updating and re-submit your Sitemap XML document every time you update your site for free. Wow, thanks SBI, what would i do with out you? WORDPRESS DOES THIS AUTOMATICALLY TOO, so wexactly what time and money you are saving beats me as i make it we are still $232 down :(
SBI! automatically pings all major Search Engines. SO DOES WORDPRESS!
SBI! tracks and reports on when Search Engine spiders visit each of your pages, and when each page is listed. SO DOES ANY STATS PROGRAM! If you are using hostgator, AWstats wchich is free gives you all that information plus a wealth more, so no added value provided here!
The Site build it action guide sates that 'The SiteSell Value Exchange is the simplest, fastest, most efficient, and most GENUINE way of exchanging valuable links with matching sites'. There is a failure here to mention that reciprocal links are not really worth all that much in the eyes of google so i cant assign a value to this either.
Now when it comes to monetisation, taking a quick browse of the sitesell forums and their sites, (which for some reason seem to have an extorionate amount of dashes in their domain names) almost every site i checked out has adsense as a form of monetisation, and the majority are not showing relevant ads pertaining to their sites theme. IN SHORT THEIR ADSENSE ACCOUNTS ARE PRICED. If you dont know hat that means then you shouldnt be u sing adsense at all, and SBI owners definately shoudlnt be using it. While i dont doubt ther are somes site build it sites that generate some reasoble income for their owners, if they had only been told how to use adsense properly theire income would be anywhere up to 10 times the amount they earn now with their 5c clicks.

Thats $300/per SITE - and a designer even artistically-challenged me can tell that all their sites look the same! Thanks for your support - the comments turned into a great SEO lesson -which I lifted and made a hub of: http://hubpages.com/hub/Make-Money-Online-Religious-Views

Yea SBI is a huge ripoff. Seriously, if a program is going to charge $300/year, the program should at least provide information on how to make money online (other than recruiting affiliates) so that investment can be recouped. But that's the rub. The only way the Site Build It subscribers know how to make money is through their idiotic MLM system.
$75 per/new recruit? Seriously? How can Ken Evoy pay out that much, unless he's making a killing on providing his ridiculously outdated service? Now all the minions are out screaming bloody murder because their scheme is being revealed.
I for one, am going to be glad that other people are now going to be able to see the other side of the story and make an astute judgment for themselves.

phoenixboy,
You are definitely on my favorite list! Site Build It is a scam! Outdated old bull crap sucking in beginners with crap that does not work. And bullying people that go against them. Going as far as making threats! These people need to be hung out to dry!
