I've built a lot of websites (failures) and intranet sites. I've read hundreds of articles, books, and e-books. Til this day I can't help to google "make money online" - just to see what is out there.
I have to tell you..SBI is a class act. So far as I continue to build my SBI site, I'm blown away by the integrity of their philosophy, discipline and continual "business" approach. It's consistent throughout the program.
For example..the emphasis to make quality content and ignore the temptation for keyword manipulation or tweaking, is so different from what I've read on other programs. I can only trust what they say because their sites continually to rank high. And it isn't just one website, it's a lot of the SBI owner sites!
With the exception of Lisa's website,
www.2createawebsite.com, it would seem, in my opinion, most of the other sites keep pounding on trying to "beat the system" - and that's not how it's done. Why? As a programmer, algorithms, policies, and goals change for Search Engine companies... it's impossible to keep up.
But as SBI tries to drive home, Search Engines will always look for quality and content, after all what the heck are we searching for? I know I am bothered by a site that has poor content or mere links.
Don't get me wrong, I want to make money too, but there is a good way and there is a different way.
Oh well, caffeine is wearing off...gotta get back to my site. =)
