Until now, Site Build It! was for the "Do it yourself" crowd.
I'm part of that demographic and I love building websites of all sorts, but that's what I do.
There are many thousands of us who want to learn all the skills that are necessary to build a successful, profit-making website around which we can build our business.
But, there are many millions who are part of the "Do it for me" crowd.
Maybe you are one of them.
You already have a business and you want a website that actually brings new customers and clients. You want your site to add to your bottom line, not subtract from it.
You know how to run your business and now you want to find someone who can build a website that gets results.
You already hire specialists in other areas, including your lawyer and accountant. Maybe it's time for you to hire a specialist who will work closely with you to build a website that promotes your business and attracts new prospects to your business.
Where will you find a specialist who knows how to do this and won't charge you more than its worth?
SiteSell Services now offers very attractive packages that include hosting using the un-matched Site Build It! system and a specialist who will work closely with you to target your niche market and build a website that will work for you night and day.
SiteSell Services is brand new, but it is based on a decade of proven techniques and technology combined to build websites that produce results.
From the SiteSell Services page:
Build a professional Web site with SiteSell Services, using a process and tools proven by tens of thousands of people. Each page is aimed at pulling in Web site visitors. More Web site visitors means more new business.
Your SBI!-built site will work. Built from the ground up, you reap the benefits of 10 years of SiteSell experience, all packed into a truly professional site.

Site Build It! offers the tools you need and a proven step-by-step process for building an online business that offers a much better probability of succeeding.
During the special offer, instead of paying $299 to subscribe to Site Build It! for a year, you can choose to pay $399 and get two subscriptions.

Give the gift of Site Build It! to someone who is newly retired and wants something new to do or to a college student for building an in-demand skill for the real world.

Site Build It! Brainstorm It! V2 Launches
Posted by johndilbeck on Thursday, September 13 2007 at 11:07 AM
Category: sitesell
Brainstorm It! is a powerful niche brainstorming and keyword analyzer module that is only one of the tools included in your Site Build It! annual subscription.
Here is some information from a recent announcement from Ken Evoy (Who is Ken Evoy?):
"Yes. Brainstorm It! *V2* is now live!
Both vertical and lateral brainstorming have been greatly improved. Important new concepts like VALUE Demand and Real Supply provide stronger guidance for content development. "Pink messaging" helps get niche selection "just right."
And there are a whole bunch of other improvements. It all adds up to the best keyword brainstorming and research tool in the world...
We did a ton of research before launching V2. It's fair to say that it's the best keyword tool in the world. And it's included in the $299 price of SBI!, which, of course, delivers many more tools than Brainstorm It!..."
Site Build It! is a powerful system of integrated tools that help you find a niche, identify key concepts and keywords for writing about your chosen niche, build your website and promote it to the world, and interact efficiently with your visitors and customers.
Brainstorm It! is one of the tools that is used extensively in the step by step process for building your online business when you first start using Site Build It!. Later when you have established your online business, you can continue to use Brainstorm It! to help you find subjects you can write about to extend the valuable content you offer on your site.
I've used the new version over the last few days and have found lots of new ideas for topics to write about on my SBI site.
The fact that you can pay much more than the cost of an annual Site Build It! subscription just for a keyword analysis and brainstorming tool that doesn't work as well is just one more reason for using Site Build It! to build your online business.
I am a happy and very satisfied SBI customer and I welcome these improvements to the tools I use to continue to build my business.
Act on your dream!

New Site Build It! Results Page Is Online
Posted by johndilbeck on Thursday, September 13 2007 at 11:07 AM
Category: sitesell
Sitesell, Inc. recently updated the results page for websites built by their customers using Site Build It!
From a recent announcement by Ken Evoy:
"Results.sitesell.com is becoming a mini-directory of some of the most well-done, informative sites in the world. But it sure is getting harder and harder to to update it.
Picking the top SBI! sites for results.sitesell.com can be a real challenge...
It's become so much work that we seem to have subconsciously put off an update for over a year! SBIers keep doing better and better. More and more of them are entering the Top 1% of all sites in the world.
So this year(!), we shook it up (requiring higher traffic numbers to "make the cut.") There are a lot of new faces, but some old ones still in the lineup, too!...
We eliminate sites that don't have the "real" traffic to justify their Alexa scores. We chop sites that are in categories that are overcrowded. We regretfully drop sites that have been in results.sitesell.com "long enough" (and bring in new ones). And we cut so many others for a variety of reasons. So what you see is just the tip of the top.
One way or another, all selected sites must be in the top 1% of all sites on the Internet. And you can imagine that's a very nice place to be...
Each time we do this, the new sites stagger me. There is no limit to the niches you can conquer.
I think the most important point, though, is that most of these people are non-techs, just "ordinary" people who have been empowered to do EXTRAordinary things online.
They get the kind of numbers that any professional webmaster would drool over. And the more congested the Web gets, the STRONGER SBIers become. "Regular people" are leaving professional non-SBI! Webmasters and SEOers in their dust.
That's the power of the Site Build It! process... ANYone can find real, verifiable, online success.
For YOU, our partner-in-sales, this is BIG NEWS!
Why!
Because this is all the proof you need to convince your visitors that SBI! is for real. Real traffic! Real success!"
A while back Ken Evoy gave us a challenge to find any other webhosting company (and SBI is much more than that) that can provide better results for their customers. I spent some time searching and never found a site that even came marginally close.
See for yourself, these are the results SBI webmasters are getting by building their online businesses using Site Build It!
Why waste your time and money using anything else?
Act on your dream!

Ken Evoy and Sitesell announce the release of Content 2.0
Posted by johndilbeck on Tuesday, September 11 2007 at 4:01 PM
Category: sitesell
Ken Evoy and Sitesell recently announced the release of Content 2.0, an optional add-on module for Site Build It!
Here is a copy of their press release:
Montreal, Quebec, Canada (PRWEB) August 30 2007 -- Sitesell.com, the originator of Site Build It! and champion of using quality content to drive small business sites, today takes Web 2.0 to new heights. For the first time, small businesses can make it easy for their visitors to craft original Web pages including photos and captions. Other visitors comment upon and rate those Web pages. The process is optimized for search engine results driving long tail keyword traffic and viral spread.
"Up until now," says Ken Evoy, president of SiteSell.com, "Web 2.0 has been the playground of large companies which basically aggregate individuals and small businesses. Today, small business owners have the simple, powerful ability to increase content through others and use it to grow traffic and 'buzz' tremendously."
Web 2.0 is a catchall term for user-generated content and interaction with viral spread. It has created legendary business success stories such as MySpace, flickr, and YouTube. But they are all 'big company' stories.
"Small business has been shut out of Web 2.0," states Evoy. "They are limited to blogging and using YouTube and MySpace to increase traffic and revenues in small ways. Now they become 'aggregators' instead of 'aggregatees.' Blogging pales because the site owner still has to create all that content. With C2, visitors create original, high-value content, a tremendous leveraging of time and results."
The depth and breadth of user-created content yields surprising results. At Wikipedia, contributors do the work, building new pages of keyword-rich material. Wikipedia gets the benefits of content and inbound links. Millions of Page 1 rankings at Google have pushed it to the 9th most visited site in the world (according to Alexa.com).
Evoy contends that what he calls "the rest of us" do not have the resources to create Web 2.0 platforms. Over one year in the making, Content 2.0 is that platform. SiteSell clients are already using it to create their own mini-MySpaces or to turn sites into super-blogs, inviting recipe submissions, beer reviews, etc. A ghost story site has even created BooTube, which invites video submissions. In SiteSell's forums, users are already showing traffic stats that have doubled.
Web 2.0 and so-called "user-generated" content has its detractors. They cite everything from the unreliability of Wikipedia and uncontrolled "splogging" (spam blogs) to widely publicized issues on MySpace. Evoy says that all those problems stem from the lack of reasonable forms of control. "We studied all the major Web 2.0 companies, took the best, eliminated the worst, and then made it all simple to use."
"You need an authority to maintain quality. Users of Content 2.0 cannot continuously overwrite each other like at Wikipedia. They don't create 'Profiles' and gossip like at MySpace. And they do much more than just upload photos. They build real value, content which an owner can easily control and monetize. That control is key."
Just like the large Web 2.0 successes, visitors who participate are notified when theirs page have been published and when comments are posted about their pages. They comment back and forth on the site and are encouraged to spread the word through e-mail. Repeat visits, community and viral spread are the hallmarks of Web 2.0.
"Content 2.0 is automated, regulated, high-quality Web 2.0," continues the passionate Evoy. "Like our flagship, Site Build It!, the complexity under the hood is intense. And 'under the hood' is where it belongs. Our small business customers never have to look there. They just focus on doing business."
Evoy sums up "Small businesses have been the aggegatees for years. The money is in being the aggregator. Now they can do it, in their niches, with quality and ease."
Content 2.0 is available at SiteSell.com for the annual subscription price of $99 as an add-on module to Site Build It! (SBI!), SiteSell's flagship business-building product.
(End of the press release)
Not every website that is built using SBI will need or be able to use Content 2.0 effectively, but many sites are already using it with success.

Site Build It! -- The Back To Work $100 Special

(Context Tag: Site Build It, sale, webhosting, website, online business)
Ken Evoy, President of Sitesell, says:
"This year, let's set folks on the path to independence. By this time next year, they'll only be 'going back to work' if they want to. Why?"
"Because they'll be on the road to controlling their own lives. Oh, they may not have replaced the primary family income yet. As a matter of fact, many people who start up SBI! sites only intend to add a second (or third) income stream to a family's income. An excellent first goal..."
"But you'd be surprised how often that turns into an 'I quit my day job letter' to sitesell.com, followed by new vacations and the new home they always wanted..."
"Help set your friends, family, colleagues, visitors and readership on the same path. And there is no time like doing it right now, when everyone is gearing up to get back to work after summer vacations, and perhaps thinking that they'd rather be setting their own time, schedules, and life. So..."
"From now until midnight September 6 (which is the first 'back to work' day after the Labor Day holiday), offer the..."
"Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, It's Back To Work We Go! $100 Special"
"This ends at the stroke of midnight, September 6, 2005."
Now, this is John Dilbeck talking, and I'd like to urge you to take advantage of this special. Site Build It! (and all the tools that are integrated into it) is the main secret of my online success. I use what I learn from Ken and the tools I use in Site Build It! to make all my sites rank better in the search engines, attract more visitors, and earn more money.
Site Build It! is a perfect tool to help beginners who want to build a successful online business. If you've already tried to build a successful online presence and were foiled by all the technical details, or if you had a site with no visitors, Site Build It! can help you succeed.
This is not a get rich quick scheme. You have to follow the Action Guide and build a site that works, and it will take some time to succeed. I've spent years looking for information that is better than Ken offers for free to all SBI subscribers and I haven't found it anywhere. When I follow Ken's advice, I earn more money.
If you aren't currently in the market for building a successful online business, you can do someone else a favor and refer your friends and family to Site Build It! while this special sale is going on. If they buy, you can earn a nice commission just by being nice. After all, at least one person in 72% of American households said they wanted to start a business of their own. Perhaps you know one of them. Help them avoid all the pitfalls of building a website the old way by referring them to Site Build It! where they will find the advantages of following a proven method of building a real web business.
It is not about web hosting -- it is about success.

I just realized that one of the pages on my website was totally out of date so I took a few minutes to update it.
Before you decide on how you're going to present your business or organization to the world, think a moment about whether you want your website -- and by extension, your business -- to just exist or whether you want it to succeed.
Many people have thanked me for introducing them to Site Build It!
Perhaps you'll be one of them, too.
Take a few minutes and see why Site Build It! is different from all the rest.
Get more visitors to your website -- FREE
Posted by johndilbeck on Tuesday, March 8 2005 at 10:23 AM
Category: sitesell
Are you getting as much traffic to your website as you want?
Chances are, you aren't.
In the movies, maybe, if you build it they will come, but that certainly isn't true when it comes to websites.
Anyone can build a website and there are estimates that there are over 56 million sites that are being maintained on a regular basis. With that many sites, how is anyone supposed to find yours?
One way is to pay for every visitor, but the trouble with that is that as soon as you stop paying, the visitors stop visiting. I think we would both agree that it is better to build a steady stream of visitors and provide a pathway for more and more people to find your website over the coming months and years.
One of the ways I get visitors to my sites is through the major search engines, which send thousands of visitors to my sites every month -- at no cost to me!
So, what did I do to make this happen?
There are several things, and you can do them just as well -- or better -- than I do.
One of the key issues to getting more traffic is to create content that people want to read. Then, you have to get the search engines to regularly index that content so people can find you when they are searching for a solution to their problem or when they want to buy what you have to sell.
Another key issue is to link to quality websites that offer information in the same general field as you do, but which are not direct competitors.
So, how do you learn what works and what doesn't, and more importantly, how much is it going to cost you?
Nothing. Nada. It's free.
If you'll go to Ken Evoy's Value Exchange you can register your site -- for free -- to participate in a link exchange program that is different from others you may have seen or read about.
While you're there, download the free Make Your Links WORK! ebook. This ebook will tell you:
1. how to build the most time-and-money-efficient inbound links program to your website.
2. why links are important and how they fit into the big picture.
3. how to build a roaring online business that gets found by the search engines and that converts visitors into profits.
Forget what you may have heard about search engine optimization (SEO) and stop paying hundreds or thousands of dollars to try to trick the search engines. Learn how to work with the search engines and they'll work with you, month in and month out, at not cost!
SEO is doomed. It is important for small business marketers to understand that, and to adapt to the coming reality now.
It's free and it's been proven on thousands of sites.
Download Make Your Links WORK! right now, while you're thinking about it. Register your site with Value Exchange and start increasing quality targeted traffic to your website.
Search It! Adds Five New Searches for RSS and Blogs, and Four for Specialty Hubs and Directories
Posted by johndilbeck on Sunday, December 5 2004 at 3:37 PM
Category: sitesell
Ken Evoy's free Internet search utility has just gotten better, if you have any interest in RSS, XML, and blogs or for specialty hubs and directories.
Search It!, which does NOT involve downloading anything to your computer, is a utility that makes it easier to find information relating to business and ecommerce on the Internet. By using a multi-step process (usually three steps, but sometimes four), it will build the searches for you and go to the appropriate search engine, directory, or content site to find the information in which you are interested.
One item you'll see in the Step 1 dropdown box is "Reference Library for Content." By selecting that, Search It! will automatically populate the Step 2 box with appropriate choices. There is a link to get help for using the tool once you have selected your choices for Step 1 and Step 2.
The new searches listed in the Reference Library for Content choice in Step 1 are:
Yahoo! RSS Domain Search
Feedster Blog/RSS Search
Syndic8.com RSS Search
Google RSS Content Search
Yahoo! RSS Content Search
It's taken me years to learn how to search for some of these things and where to go to find them, and Ken has just given you that power for free.
Not only that, but he just added four more searches related to hubs and directories. Select "Specialty Hubs and Directories" in Step 1, and you'll see the following new searches in Step 2:
Google Wide
Google Tight
Yahoo! Wide
Yahoo! Tight
The help link below Step 1 and Step 2 gives information on how to use these new searches.
I use Search It! just about every day. It's easy to use. Leave the small window open in the top-left corner of your screen so it will be available when you want to find something of interest. The more I use it, the better I like it.
I was surprised to see that I have several sites listed in the top 10 for both the Yahoo! Wide and Tight searches for the following keywords: Step 3 = "Murphy NC" and Step 4 = "travel". It looks like the work I've been doing for the last several months is starting to pay off.
