The REAL Site Build It Review
Get the facts about Site Build It from one who knows firsthand

There are many Site Build It myths. One of the most persistent is that SBI costs too much at $299/year per site. If you just look at the overall price, I agree. $299 seems like a heckuva lot of money, when compared to $5/month, unlimited domain hosting. But here’s the thing… SBI shouldn’t just be looked at as a webhost. They are so much more.

Let’s deconstruct each of the SBI costs too much arguments…

$299 a Year Is Awfully Expensive Web Hosting

When SBI was first launched, $25/month was pretty typical pricing for webhosts. In those days, you didn’t have a lot of choices. You’d easily pay $25 to $50 a month just to host one website! I know; I was doing it myself for my very first website, hosted with one of the premier web hosts of the early 2000s.

How our web world has changed since then, though. Cheap web hosts like HostGator, GoDaddy and many, many more prolifertated in the past 5 years. Now, it’s exceedingly common to find webhosting accounts with huge bandwidths and unlimited domains for around $5 to $10/month. I have a couple of those accounts myself, and they’re great… if you know how to use them.

In the end, though, those accounts are mostly just basic webhosting. Sure, they may offer one-click installations of forums, blogs, and related tools. And maybe a one-off autoresponder and email account management. But that’s about it. They don’t tell you how to create a site, especially not a successful traffic-producing site. They definitely don’t teach you how to build a business. So, yeah, you can have any number of sites with those kinds of webhosts, but that doesn’t mean anyone will ever find them. That takes other tools, usually ones the webhost doesn’t offer, at least not for no additional charge.

If you’re going to compare pricing, then you have to be sure you’re comparing apples to apples, not apples to oranges, as the saying goes. Site Build It isn’t just a webhost. They’re so much more: Compare SBI to a typical webhost

For instance, one of the best features of SBI is their keyword/niche brainstorming tool. It’s extremely robust, showing demand, true supply, potential profitability and detailed competition info for every keyword you input. They use Wordtracker as their backend, and if you’ve ever priced Wordtracker, you know how valuable an inclusion their data is in the SBI package. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been on a few blogs and forums around the Web lately and I keep reading about the cult of SBI. People, some of them the same ones who claim Site Build It is a scam, also claim that people who love Site Build It and aren’t afraid to say it with passion must be in some kind of Site Build It cult.

Here are the arguments I’ve seen put out there for the cult theory:

• SBI’ers speak out in unison when others say negative things about Site Build It. I’m one of those who have done that, and yes, it does happen. But we aren’t “defending our faith”. How do we know to speak out in the first place? Well, SBI’ers love their SBI forum. It’s a nonjudgmental gathering place where you can always find a kind word and just the help you need when you need it. Anyway, Dr. Ken Evoy, the founder of Site Build It, monitors all mentions of SBI on the Web, and if he sees someone slamming SBI unfairly, then he lets the forums know. Some of us feel motivated to set the record straight with the bashers.
• SBI’ers use the same wording and phrasing to defend SBI. That is sometimes true, but it’s due more to the fact that we’ve all been through the same basic educational process about the same product. It’s not brainwashing; it’s just a common frame of reference. I’ve heard the same kind of unison from iPhone lovers, MAC users or even from those who love a particular dance craze or musical genre.

It seems that when a program or product or service is wildly successful and when its customers love it, people start screaming “Scam”. “Site Build It is a scam!”

Apparently, our world is so negative and we’ve been ripped off so often, that many of us find it hard to believe that a company might actually deliver on its promises and that the price we pay for it is worth it. Is this true of SBI?

Well… do a Google search on Site Build It scam and you’re going to find more than a few rants from people claiming unequivocally that SBI is a scam. And to my eyes, that’s a real shame. Because nothing could be further from the truth.

Let’s look at the definition of a scam. In simple terms, it’s basically the same as a fraud. But, a more detailed definition tells us a scam is a fraudulent business scheme meant to victimize or deprive its victim by deceit. In other words, it is an attempt to intentionally mislead a person or persons (known as the mark) usually with the goal of financial or other gain.

I think, if you’ve been skulking around the Internet with the intention of building a money-making website for very long, you’ve probably experienced at least a few instances of Internet marketing scams. Sales pages that proclaim, “Make money while you sleep…”, “$50,000 in 30 Days without spending a dime!” and the like. Nine times out of ten, those so-called gurus either outright lie about their results and the methods used to achieve them, or they omit key steps in the equation.

How many ebooks and video learning programs have you bought that left you high and dry when you were finished? If you’re like me, more than you care to admit to. It’s a common experience in those of us who long to become our own boss and make money from home… unfortunately. And there are any number of true scammers just waiting to take your money.

Is SBI one of these scam companies? I don’t believe so. Here’s why… Read the rest of this entry »
