How I created this site

I had previously created a website to communicate with my direct sales team. I used a cheap ($10.00 per month), easy interface. I did not need to know or use any HTML to create the site. For that particular purpose, the web hosting company was perfect.

However, when I decided I wanted to get serious about creating a website to make money, I did a lot of research to determine the best approach. Time and again, one company kept coming up as the best company to use. Internet guru's recommended this company. So, I did a lot of reading about Site Build It.

This is what I found, and why I chose to use SBI.

SBI provides me with all of the information and tools I need to achieve success for less $$$$.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN ONE PACKAGE - I have found that SBI has everything I need to be successful. If I had chosen not to join SBI, I would have had a much, much, much longer and harder learning curve. They many indepth traning manuals that you downloand. They provide essential tools, community support, blogging, rss, flavicon information, forum options, internet ezine, forms builder, and many more tools.

COMMUNITY - SBI has a very strong community of users who participate in the SBI forums. I have received help from numerous community members when I have stuck. The discussions are always positive, helpful and supportive. Negativity and arguing is not allowed, thus it does not exist in the commuity. Many, many times I have hit a brick wall and not been able to move forward due to my lack of technical knowledge. I posted my problems on the "forums" and inevitably another SBI member was able to answer my question and solve my problem.

The community is a blend of folks with little or no technical skills to the very best web master's. They have all come to SBI because they recognize it is the best community and tool on the market.

WEB PAGE BUILDING TOOL FOR "NON-TECHIES" - This tool allows anyone to build a web page. You can choose from many free website templates. You do not need to know HTML or any other mark-up language in order to build a website. A lot of webmasters and "techies" choose to use SBI so that they can focus their time on building the content of their pages rather than writing code to determine the page color, etc.

KEY WORD TOOL - SBI has partnered with Word Tracker™ and developed a Word Tracker™ version specifically for SBI. This key word tool is very easy to use. It shows you the statistics for the "demand" (# of searches) for a specific word, and the "supply" (# of competitive websites using the keyword), and estimated profitability. It also shows you alternative key word combinations that are very close to your original key words...again with the demand, supply and profitability. Thus, using SBI's key word tool, you can easily determine the BEST keywords to use in order to drive traffic to your site.

COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS TOOL - This tool allows you to perfor a significant amount of analysis.
Which sites are using the same keywords?
How many blogs mention key words in the last 30 days
Sites with the most clicks from a keyword
