			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Website Conundrum. </strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s assume that you have just decided to place your business at a typical, old-fashioned Web host (ex., Yahoo!, 1&amp;1, etc.). Let&#8217;s follow your progress.</p>
<p>First, why would you make this decision? It won&#8217;t be due to overwhelming proof of success. There is none. Nor will you find a Family Bulletin Board&#8230;they only take pride in financial statements (theirs). No, more than likely, you accepted the lure of cheap (even free!), quick, easy &#8220;business hosting.&#8221;</p>
<p>Soon, though, you realize you are spinning your wheels. You need to upgrade to their &#8220;Premium Package&#8221;. You buy two key add-on modules (yes, in addition to the Premium Package, at an additional monthly cost). And you have to hire a Webmaster to help you coordinate all this, as well as customize one of the programs that &#8220;came free&#8221; with your hosting.</p>
<p>In a few months, you&#8217;re spending an hour or two per day researching the Web to &#8220;keep up&#8221; and trying to figure out how to build traffic. You&#8217;re reading several Net marketing e-zines, worrying about technical and Search Engine issues (two of the Search Engine zines&#8230;yet another yearly subscription and another cost). And you&#8217;re buying more and more expensive third-party software, on the excited say-so of this expert or that.</p>
<p>Non-SiteBuildIt! owners waste so much time and money chasing the holy grail of traffic. Despite paying top dollar for &#8220;Premium Packages,&#8221; programmers and costly software packages, their sites sit idle, unvisited.</p>
<p>SO WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?</p>
<p>SiteBuildIt! from SiteSell.com&#8230;</p>
<p>. <a href="http://www.sitesell.com/siteloaded.html" target="_blank">SitebuildIt!</a> (SBI) sites are largely in the Top 3%. And, after one year, SBI! owners spend a fraction of the time and money building their web businesses. Every bit of that reserve goes into building their business, not fighting the barriers.</p>
<p>Non <a href="http://www.sitesell.com/siteloaded.html" target="_blank">SBI!</a> sites are lost on the web because they all follow the same doomed route. Here&#8217;s the big picture, old-fashioned vs. SiteBuildIt! comparison&#8230;</p>
<p>. high prices (those add-ons add up) vs. one low price</p>
<p>. major time loss (fighting barriers) vs. efficient focus on business</p>
<p>. learning curves and complexity vs. &#8220;follow the Action Guide&#8221;</p>
<p>. &#8220;marketing noise&#8221; chasing you at every turn vs. &#8220;follow the Action Guide&#8221;</p>
<p>. no clean step-by-step process vs. &#8220;follow the Action Guide&#8221;</p>
<p>. scattered information, process, and tools vs. complete and integrated set of the right tools</p>
<p>. no knowledgeable community and culture of success vs. the help-and-be-helped SBI! Forums.</p>
<p>. corporate focus on their bottom line vs. SiteSell&#8217;s focus on your bottom line.</p>
<p>Net comparison? Almost all non-SBI! sites languish unvisited. <a href="http://www.sitesell.com/siteloaded.html" target="_blank">SBI!</a> sites receive hundreds and thousands of visitors per day. Free, interested, warm visitors. Imagine what that would mean to your bottom line.</p>
<p><span id="more-6"></span>TRAFFIC!</p>
<p>Your topical content ranks high at the Search Engines (ex., Google, Yahoo! MSN), attracting free, targeted (i.e., interested), open-to-you visitors. Basically, these future customers &#8220;meet you&#8221; at your site. These visitors are known as &#8220;Traffic.&#8221; How well does SBI! drive &#8220;Traffic&#8221;?&#8230;To the Top 3%.</p>
<p>Traffic Building Results&#8230;</p>
<p>There are over 56 million sites on the Web. 1,000 randomly selected SiteBuildIt! sites were recently studied.</p>
<p>All statistics are according to Netcraft.com, a leading Net demographic firm and according to Alexa.com, the leading traffic-measurement company. Netcraft tracks the Web hosting industry intensively. Alexa is owned by Amazon.com and powered by Google&#8230;it measures traffic-popularity based on 10 million surfers.</p>
<p>Summary of Results&#8230;</p>
<p>. 35% of <a href="http://www.sitesell.com/siteloaded.html" target="_blank">SBI!</a> sites ranked in the top 1% of all sites (i.e., their Alexa Traffic Rank was in the Top 560,000, higher than 99% of all sites on the Web).<br />
. 53% were in the top 2%<br />
. 62% scored in the top 3%.</p>
<p>This survey was first performed 2 years earlier. How does the current survey compare? SBI! site owners were doing well 2 years ago. And they are doing even better now, ranking higher despite &#8220;competition&#8221; from far more Web sites.</p>
<p>As the years go by, as the Web becomes more and more competitive, the natural and powerful process and tools of <a href="http://www.sitesell.com/siteloaded.html" target="_blank">SBI!</a> continue to show their strength.          <!--/module--></p>
