Hi Lajocar,

Good clean design. Your writing is very clear, concise and easy to follow. Something about the spacing on your left column isn't sitting well with me. I don't know if the sub heads are too close or what but I can't put a finger on what's bugging me. Seems to me there needs to be more of space between "Website Basics" (and the rest of the sub heads) and the following links. Not a huge deal but that's just what struck me.

Also I read your About Me page for the first time. I didn't know you owned SBI!. And you have multiple sites? Cool. One thing that confused me is it sort of made it seem like your how-2-create site was an SBI! but I did a WHOIS and found it wasn't. Then I kept reading and you mentioned your other SBI! sites were doing well. Any reason why you don't display them? Seems to me that would help with your sales. One big reason I do well with their affiliate program is I show examples of my SBI! site.

You just may want to clarify. Even if you don't list your sites. For some reason the way it's worded I kinda thought the site I was reading was hosted at SBI!.

Good idea about spacing. Will have a look at that again.

Lisa, I don't own SBI yet, but I had to come up with something.
Will though in future. I think making an example of an SBI site would make a difference, because then I have first hand experience with it.

Lisa, Any advise of how to word it better. Should I just use my other site http://www.how-2-create-a-website.com or http://www.seono1.co.za as a case study? These sites are doing fairly well.

I'm going to start improving that site later today.

Thanks again for tips and advice Lisa.

Well first of all I think you should remove the part about "your SBI! sites". Since you don't own it and can't display your sites I don't think that sentence is making a very good case. It's obviously not helping sales any.

Do you mean transfer these sites over to SBI!? I wouldn't if you're already having success. I'd start a new one with SBI!. But I wouldn't choose that "how to create a site" topic again. I did that with my first SBI! site. It was called create-a-website-now.com. It failed.

I was not motivated as much with this one because I already had 2create and I felt like I was just re-wording everything. I sort of ignored the brainstorming parts of SBI! because I already knew what I was going to write about. In other words I got bored with it because it was like doing another repeat site.

So then I bought SBI! a few years later and created flat-stomach-exercises.com. So glad I chose a completely different niche. That way I wasn't tempted to just re-word my existing sites and it forced me to really use the SBI! system.

Oh one thing I forgot to mention. Since you don't own SBI! yet why not send people to http://case-studies.sitesell.com At least there you can show people other successful SBI! sites.

Thanks for advice Lisa,

If I should buy SBI in future then I will choose a total different niche.

My other site www.how-2-create-a-website.com that I'm busy with now I will try to do from a different perspective, but the basics will still be there.

My idea with this site is to allow people (visitors) to create free web page live on my site and allow them to save it to their hard drive or publish / ftp.
