Default Is Site Build It easy

OK, one of you internet fishermen (or, "women") lured my attention to Site Build It. Is Site Build It as easy as it appears in relation to Optimization. I watched a couple of the promotional videos and got the sense that perhaps the program had more to offer than the one I am using now.

Is it automatically configured (or, "templated") to help you get better rankings?

Is there a free trial?

Is there a lot of html involed?


I have worked very hard at learning the little I know about optimization through studying various books, blogs, websites, forums and videos. The presentation on the Site Build It video seemed to good to be true as it boosted about massive amounts of traffic will be the result of using the program.

Just like any other book or site, a part of SBI's function is to educate you on basic SEO. In addition to the education they give you advice on things to do with your content as you write it to help you optimize your page for the keywords you want to target.

They have a tool called "Analyze It!" and it's built into the software. Before you publish your page, the Analyze It! tool scans and it and gives you advice for where you need to improve things (i.e., too much use of the same keyword in your body, etc.)

After you build your page, SBI! submits (if necessary) the page to the major engines and later reports your rankings on various keywords.

One thing I've noticed about my SBI! site, compared to my non SBI! site is that I get found for many, many more different smaller search engines. I don't know if that is just because of my topic or if SBI!'s submitter is really hitting more engines than I have done manually with my non SBI! site. I still get most of my traffic from the big 3 - Google, MSN and Yahoo but as I said I also get found for a lot of smaller meta engines too. Interesting.

You don't have to know HTML to use SBI! but it helps to know the basics (bold, hyperlinks, etc.) because using the menus to do HTML was not ideal for me. You pick your template so no design skills are needed, but you are free to do your own design if you wish.

Please don't get the impression that SBI! is some automatic tool that is going to submit your pages and instantly give you a #1 rank in every keyword you want. You still have to do the work, follow the guide and have realistic expectations. It's just a great guide for people who benefit from structural, step by step learning.

There is no free trial but you have 30 days to get a full refund.

Default I eventually may give Site Build It a try

I have checked out a few of the SBI designs by visiting a few of the Website Babble members sites. I may give Site Build It A try. In the past two months I have really stretched my website building knowledge into programs like Wordpress blogs, Simple Machine Forums, and now I am building my first Pro Stores site for a customer.

I use a Site Builder Program that is really very simple to use but to check the pages for key word phrases, keywords, and density, I have to visit a different site.

Doesn't Site Build It have a built in sitemap generator? The company I use does not provide this feature so I have to go else where. Then when ever I make changes to my site I have to manually create and re-upload a site map. I also have to add the website into my Google webmaster account and add a site map there as well.

Yes, they do have a built in sitemap generator. You have to setup your account with Google Webmaster Tools the very first time but after that SBI! does all the magic.

Default That's a huge benifit

Having a built in sitemap feature like that is a huge benifit. I can say this, my Google rankings got better and more pages were indexed by the search engines when I began to add site maps.

When I get a little more time I will explore more of SBI's benefits.
