If you “Site Build It”, they will come. Ever wonder who really is behind these websites you get information and products from? Ever wonder how you could earn residual income from your passion or hobby? Would you like to know how real people like you set up their websites without any knowledge of how the internet works? You too could be saying I Love SBI. Why?
SBI is THE site. You will not have to know anything about the internet, nothing about HTML, zero about webhosting, zilch about getting traffic or even about affiliate marketing. You do not even need to know what you would want to market or teach others about on the internet. In fact, you can earn money without even having a website. SBI can help you become an affiliate marketer and earn a residual stream of income online or offline. I was skeptical, believe me. When I came across some videos about earning money using SBI I thought, “oh another get rich quick scheme that will be sending me in too many directions to even keep track of.” I just knew I would loose money if I tried it.
Then I read through the website, looked at their compensation offers, read through their plans and scrutinized their code of ethics. I spent two days, reading through all the information on the website, TWICE! I talked it over with a few friends and then watched the testimonial videos once again. After having met a few of the people in those videos online through their real and actual websites, I have to say I am impressed. You will be impressed too. So, let’s look into what a few people said about this company and you too will see why I love SBI. Then I will tell you how SBI can go to work for you.
A few Good People Just Needing an Extra Paycheck Per Month
Kim, from visiting-niagra-falls.com, reminds us that there is no pension waiting for most of us at age 65. And this is especially true for entrepreneurs. He partnered with SBI so he could work for himself when his pottery business fell to Wal-Mart’s low prices. He decided to look around and find something to let him retire. He now earns a net monthly income from his website by ad sense and vacation packages. His website gives him the freedom to enjoy his family, rather than trying to sell his website, the all inclusive package from SBI does everything for him!
Mitchell, from the drawingcoach.com, shares with us his story: “This is where I worked, the Hehatsu corp. Which when rearranged is one letter short of becoming “The Crap House” Which pretty much sums it up how I felt about my job. Three years of college and five years of low paid brown nosing and late nights, had landed me the position of Jr. Director of International Relations. Here’s the drill; we have clients all over the world and it’s my job to keep them happy. I sit here on the phone and writing emails. While most people here are sleeping, the rest of the world is working. They don’t care that it is 3 AM in my country.”
“They just want someone to scream at. And that was me. And then, I met a nice girl, life was good and after a year together, a thought popped into my head. One problem, I was dirt poor and I didn’t feel like a man worth marrying at all. To make extra money, I took an extra job teaching English as a second language, but the extra work was beginning to cause problems. I was never at home, and if I was, I was a zombie. I really felt like I had to choose between being a bachelor with a little extra money, or being a dead beat husband. Neither option seemed very appealing.”
“I started to research online business hoping to find the answer to my problems. I kept seeing endorsement for a product called “Site Build it” so I checked it out. Their message was simple. Find a topic you love, write about it, and they are there to help you make money online. I happily quite ESL and doubled my efforts building a website… fast forward 11 months. I now make more money from my website than I ever did at my job. So, here I am writing my last email as a Hehatsu employee (I quit!), and boy does it feel good. Thanks SBI you made this possible. I love SBI.”
Jaime, from homedecoratingcoach.com, shares her family’s life with us. In 2004 it was falling apart. Their family business, which they had poured their hearts and souls into, crumbled and left them without income. They soon lost their home. Each night they would surf the internet for something that would pull them from the down hill financial ruin. They would search under couch cushions for spare change. Often a box of macaroni and cheese was their only meal option. Then she read her 5-year-olds diary. “My mom and dad fight a lot and it makes me sad.”
That night she stumbled across the affiliate masters course by “Site Sell,” and she was expecting a get-rich-quick-scheme. What she found was not what she expected. She accessed page after page that showed her step by step how to create a profitable website and the best part is that she was never alone. She became part of a community of webmasters. Now she is jumping up and down saying,” Yes, this really does work. All my time and effort is finally paying off. So here I am now with a growing website and a growing vision…Thank You… for giving me hope and a vision for the future.”
Why You Can Say “I Love SBI”
I could share with you even more testimonials, but time doesn’t allow for it. There are over 36 videos from people just like you. You can see all the videos on the page - I Love SBI. These are people who may have started out not even knowing how to send emails, or even owning a computer. They were introduced to this fabulous team and got started right away. With a lot of elbow grease and a membership fee about the price of gourmet coffee for a month, they too were able to quit their jobs, stay home with their kids and family, and travel around the world.
SBI is not just a web host, it is not just an affiliate, it is not just a search engine optimizer, nor is it just technical support for all your needs in setting up a website. From the moment you start with their free month trial, they will take you step by step and brain storm ideas for your website that will be fun for you to write about. Then they give you an easy to use interface that guide you through selecting or designing your web pages look, building content, selling ad space, setting up affiliate links, and guiding you through the steps to make your website a top search in search engines.
They don’t just tell you how to reach people and gain traffic, they don’t just tell you how to earn money with or without products to sell, they don’t just explain to you how to get started earning an income. They guide you through it. You don’t even need to know how to blog or write HTML, or design graphics, they help with all of that. If you follow their easy to use plan, you are not guaranteed to get rich quick, you are guaranteed a profitable business that will double your household income or even enable you and your spouse to quit your job. You too will soon say “I Love SBI!”

My original blogpost, Web Hosting Top Ten Reviews, has undergone a re-evaluation. I will talk about the top three companies here and why they have achieved this position.
Site Build It has now captured the Number ONE spot. What is the reason?
Using Site Build It, you can now create not only static websites but much more. They have introduced Web 2.0 to Site Build It (SBI) sites through Content 2.0. What it means is that you can now convert your SBI sites into a dynamic website with comments system as well as invite others to contribute content to your site. The immediate benefit of Content 2.0 is an exponential increase in traffic.
The second thing which has been introduced with SBI is known as Infin It! Earlier, there were limitations to the type of technology that you could use while creating SBI sites. For example, you could not use WordPress or other content management systems to create blogs, it was not possible to install any scripts like a review site script, you could not add PHP to your content pages, etc. Now, all these limitations are things of the past. With Infit It!, SBI sites can now have all the latest web and internet technologies.
Their support and forum are as good as ever. The company behind Site Build It, SiteSell.com, and its President & CEO, Mr. Ken Evoy, are ever eager and committed to giving the best package for the SOHO or the small business segment.
And above all, their two-tier, recurring-income 5-Pillar affiliate program is the best program that I have ever come across. Apart from my reasonably good tier-1 recurring income, I am earning a comfortable passive income from my 200+ sub-affiliates.
Authority Site Center is still the Number 1 in Web 2.0 related site hosting and training center. Using Authority Site Center services, you can create content rich authority sites. ASC have grown in size, stature and quality in the last 8 months since my last review. Their training program is excellent, their forum is one of the best places for top quality help and technical support has also improved favorably during last year.
They have introduced a new service, Social Power Linking, which considerably enhances your ability and knowledge to do social marketing and apply web 2.0 techniques to your authority sites. In 2007, they had also introduced a new software, Web2Submitter, to accelerate social marketing activities for your sites. This is one of the tools that I use daily for all my Web 2.0 assets. This software is priced at $47 but it is distributed free to Social Power Linking members.
Even though support has definitely improved, I would still like to see true 24/7 support at ASC which is not there right now. But, the entire lot at ASC lead by Jack Humphrey are a dedicated lot. During 2008, we can, definitely, expect a lot more from these people.
ASC’s affiliate program is a single-tier, recurring-income affiliate program. My affiliate income has seen a great jump in 2007 due to ASC’s affiliate program. I have found them to be the easiest and best converting affiliate program.
Blue Host has jumped several positions to capture the number 3 spot. I would rate them as the Number 1 in conventional web hosting. Their package is very reasonably priced, their support & service is outstanding and their hardware and software configurations are based on latest technologies. Unlike Site Build It and ASC, if you want a no-frills web hosting company but the full bouquet of web hosting services included, then Blue Host is the web hosting company of choice.

With the Authority Site Center, you’ll learn how to start an authority site from scratch. Then, after you’ve moved your site to ASC’s optimized publishing system, you’ll see your daily unique visitors climb week after week, month after month, all with ASC’s “Post and Rank” technology!
In order to own a profitable, high traffic site in any niche, you’ll need to establish an undeniable high profile presence. If you’re looking into ASC, it’s obvious that you haven’t seen satisfactory results in your search engine rankings and daily unique visitors, but you will with the Authority Site Center.
It’s a fact that most websites fail to capture their market they are built for. It’s not because of bad product ideas, services or content sites, it’s because the owners have no idea how hard it is to get traffic to their sites. Sites come and go year after year without anyone knowing they were ever online. With Authority Site Center, however, you’ll receive quantity and quality traffic that money can’t buy. Sure, you can buy traffic from pay-per-click and other forms of advertising, but those techniques don’t come close to the motivated, targeted traffic ASC’s software and marketing system delivers.
If you’re tired of wasting money on advertising and SEO services that don’t deliver, if you’re tired of being over charged for services that deliver traffic that don’t turn into paying customers, and if you’re tired of not getting the training and support you need to make your online business grow, then you need the Authority Site Center.
With over 2 years of proven success, Authority Site Center offers a stable and tested publishing platform that will deliver the traffic you need to hit everyone one of your sales goals. With ASC, your authority sites will receive the attention, the top search engine rankings and the ability to generate the buzz you need to promote your web presence.

Site Build It is based in Canada and is a Canadian company. Ken Evoy is the CEO and President of this company. Site Build It has created a unique concept in web hosting which has prompted me to do this Site Build It Review. I have been hosting with Site Build It for almost two years now, hence I consider myself highly suitable to do this objective review.
If you are creating a website either for pleasure or for profit, or working and earning a living through the internet like Work-At-Home-Mom (WAHM’s), or you are an Internet Marketer, or you are planning to start any of these; then you have to utilise a Web Hosting company to upload and host your website.
Above all, whether you are a novice or an expert, if you simply want to concentrate in creating your content and do not wish to be bothered with the technical nitty-gritties of hosting and popularizing your website, then this Web Hosting service is meant for you.
Normally, any web hosting company will give certain fixed space for hosting your website, bandwidth, a cPanel consisting of various menus to control the different operations like managing folders, sub-folders and sub-domains, upload and download of files through FTP, a few reports, email facility, domain parking facility, etc.
These web hosts will be of no use to you when you have to conceptualize, build, maintain, popularize, and monetize your websites. That is entirely left to you and to your ingenuity and knowledge.
Site Build It Web Hosting company, SiteSell.com has popularised the web hosting product called Site Build It!. With Site Build It!, you can create robust static websites.
They have based their business model on a process called C -> T -> P -> M. It stands for CONTENT -> TRAFFIC -> PResell -> MONETIZE.
Given below are some of the unique features included in Site Build It!:
- Keyword brainstorming and Master Keyword List
- Search It - ECommerce related Search Tool
- Step-by-Step Action Guide. It includes both written as well as Audio Guide.
- Domain Registration
- Template or block based web site development for novices or people who do not want to use HTML.
- If you are familiar, you can also develop your site using HTML or a program like Dreamweaver or Frontpage.
- Search Engine Optimization
- Value Exchange for link exchanging
- Automatic Search Engine submissions and resubmissions
- Autoresponders
- Opt-in mailing lists
- RSS Feed and Blogs that you can integrate into your web pages
- Automatic Form Building Tool
- Powerful reporting and traffic statistics features
- An exceptional Support and a very friendly and helpful Forum
It is an impressive features list. We have tested this company’s product and it really works. In fact, they have a list of successful top ranking websites all developed using Site Build It!
Apart from the above, as mentioned in my earlier post http://www.theassociatereference.com/, Site Build It! is a goldmine for affiliate marketers. They are one among the top two affiliate programs which has been consistently converting for me. SBI also has a two tier commission system whereby you get commission through your downlines as well. Affiliate marketers will do well to sign up for SBI’s 5 Pillar Affiliate Program.
I have talked about all the positive aspects of Site Build It. I will not be doing an objective review if I do not mention here the limitations of SBI.
SBI is a controlled environment. What I mean is that you cannot upload any file that you wish. It does not have a conventional FTP environment but a controlled FTP environment. So, your normal FTP program will not work with SBI. You cannot upload PHP files. You do not have access to files and folders like .htaccess, cgi-bin, etc. Apart from the html, shtml and other files that are placed in the root folder, there are three other sub-folders which are designated for specific type of files. For example, image, video, javascript, text, etc will go into their designated sub-folders.
Why SBI utilizes this controlled environment? When you sign up for SBI, the system not only handles web hosting but you start with online brainstorming and do the entire web publishing cycle online. Their system also takes care of search engine optimization of your pages as well as submission and resubmissions to the various search engines without incurring their wrath.
The reason why search engines like Google will never penalize sites created using Site Build It! is because of their controlled environment.

Updated in February 2008
In Web Hosting Top Ten Reviews, I shall present to you the Top Rated Web Hosting Service Providers with their latest features list. I shall review and update this information on a regular basis. So, keep watching this post regularly.
For affiliate marketers, web hosting affiliate programs are real gold mines. The reason for this is that the conversion are always very good, commission percentages are extremely attractive and, in many of the cases, it amounts to a recurring income. Ideally, you should become an affiliate of at least 4 or 5 web hosting service providers.
I would highly recommend that you become an affiliate of at least Authority Site Center and Site Build It. For me, they have been converting at a 25% - 35% leads to sales conversion ratio which I would consider as a really phenomenal conversion rate. Secondly, their affiliate commissions are recurring and they also have a concept of Tier 2 commissions. What is a Tier 2 commission? Whenever an affiliate signs up with these companies through your affiliate link, you also get a percentage of the commissions earned by them, on a recurring basis. This is a great example of earning regular passive income.
I will present this Web Hosting Top Ten Reviews in a tabular format for easy understanding. This tabular format will contain:
- Score (5 = Highest Rating and 1 = Lowest Rating)
- Name of Web Hosting Service Provider
- Summarized Features List - I will avoid too much technical details and will give only the most important features.

In a moment, we will see how Authority Site Center insures your internet business.
I read a scarry article on SitePro News titled “What Happened to RegisterFly and How to Protect Your Domains” authored by Ross Dunn. This article was in their Issue #919 dated March 23, 2007.
The author, Ross Dunn, is the founder and CEO of StepForth Search Engine Placements Inc. based in Canada.
RegisterFly.com was publicly de-accredited on 16March2007 by ICANN (International Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers) for major contractual breaches.
It seems that their customer service was in shambles and there were major lags on transfers and renewals of domains. In many instances, there were also illegal transfer of domain name ownership from the customer to RegisterFly.
Due to the above lapses on the part of RegisterFly and also the de-accreditation, customers were left high and dry. Many thriving businesses with production websites lost their domains and consequently, lost lot of credibility, customer loyalty and of course, revenue.
The article goes on to give 7 tips to protecting your domains.
The point I would like to make here is that full time web publishers and internet marketers like us who are totally dependent on internet business for our livelihood are, frankly, at the mercy of domain registrars and web hosting service providers.
Just imagine what will happen if a website of yours that earns you some $10,000 or $20,000 per month is shut down due to no fault of yours but due to either the domain registrar or the web hosting service provider’s fault. I find this as a very scarry situation.
For this reason, it is all the more important that you need to be extremely careful before choosing the right domain registrar or web hosting service provider.
I did a lot of research before I decided to bank my entire internet business with Authority Site Center. ASC is not a simple web hosting company but they are something much more. Apart from considerations on superior technology like web 2.0, the following points greatly influenced my decision:
- Authority Site Center is not a one-man show. It is a company run by 5 highly motivated individuals.
- Each one of them is very well qualified and experienced in the internet and technology business.
- I find these people to be dedicated to the cause of propagating internet business knowledge among the masses.
- They have a faculty of trained tutors who are also successful web publishers and internet marketers having their websites hosted on ASC.
- Every year, the faculty conducts a 7-month highly result oriented coaching program for internet marketers. This is known as the ASC Elite Coaching Program.
- They also conduct free weekly group coaching calls on Research, Publishing, Marketing and Monetization using best practices in web 2.0 techiques. This is available free to every ASC member.
- The partners of ASC also conduct specialized coaching calls as part of the above coaching programs to share their knowledge and expertise with the ASC members.
- At least two partners of ASC have their own websites hosted on the same servers where customers’ websites are hosted.
- Jack Humphrey’s The Friday Traffic Report is a hugely successful Google PR5 website attracting around 5000 unique visitors per day and earning him in five figure revenues per month. He has recently released an excellent ebook known as Authority Black Book. This ebook discusses, in detail, successful publishing and marketing of your websites using Web 2.0 techniques.
