Sitebuilder Elite Review
by Tim Bates

Sitebuilder Elite is a bit of software designed by Gary Nugent that fundamentally does what it says, builds internet sites. It is at present at version three and Gary is continually bringing out new features. It runs on a server instead of regionally on your Computer also. The question on everyone's lips has to be, "is it any good?" I will try and give you my fair opinion about this software.Sitebuilder Elite is designed as a standalone piece of software that will build a web site site based on some keywords that you feed it. It'll use those keywords to find content that can be used on your website or you are able to add the content manually also. The articles can then be set up to drip feed onto your website organically over time which is pretty cool and is adored by Google.Content from RSS feeds can also be setup and added to your website over time which helps give your website a dynamic feel.Sitebuilder Elite is intended to ensure that the websites it creates will be search engine optimized (SEO) meaning Google can index and rank the content quite easily. This is needed for getting a site into Google quickly and for the correct keywords. It also guarantees the sites it creates have easy navigation to help folks to look around.Once the site has been made, Sitebuilder Elite will then monetize it with a massive choice of methodologies from Adsense to Amazon products. It also takes care of all the standard things that all websites us page, a contact us page, a privacy policy and an about us page.

Installation

The instruction manual is kind of clear and concise about installing the software and Gary offers good support also.

Building a site with Sitebuilder Elite

It lays every step that you need to take to build your first site on a page with tickable options and boxes for you to fill in the details needed like keywords, monetization.

Getting Indexed

After building a site with the software, getting it indexed in Google is the following challenge but thankfully gives you a head start by insuring that your on site SEO is good. Clearly ordinary procedures for getting a site indexed apply here like getting backlinks etc... Gary offers some good strategies also for all sitebuilder select owners.All sites built by the software will also listen to the most recent web 2.0 techniques to help get a site indexed by providing each article a social bookmarking icon to many different web 2.0 sites like digg for example.

Did I make any cash from using sitebuilder elite?

This is the obvious question and entire point of is it feasible to make money from using it? I can certainly answer that question with a firm YES! Within a week I had 40% of my articles indexed in Google and earning less than a buck a day in Adsense.

Summary

Overall, I adore sitebuilder elite. With Sitebuilder elite it took me 10 minutes to build one hundred page site from PLR articles and some RSS feeds that earned me money after 7 days. I suspect that is pretty electrifying, don't you?

What is Web 2.0?
by Christopher Freville

When you work in the web world- in all those social networking sites and with videos sharing sites, and also wikis and blogs- what you use in these cases is a web developing and designing facility called the Web 2.0.
The name "Web 2.0" was first coined by Tim O' Reilly. Web 2.0 helps with communication, secures interoperability, information sharing and collaboration on the world web. Instead of the mere traditional texts and images, web sites are now thus capable of housing videos and audio systems. Here, the pages are grouped together and tagged, the online visitors can blog and even edit some pages, and add his own comments whenever he likes. In one word therefore, the Web 2.0 creates a friendly interactive environment.
There are certain benefits to be had with the help of Web 2.0. This was designed after the dot-com bubble burst in the early 2001. * One of the key advantages of Web 2.0 is usability. Here, the web applications look less like web sites and more like desktop applications. Simple interfaces with mild colors and no chaotic patterns, animations or complex logos are used.
* The Web 2.0 allows the users to create their own blogs, share videos, and thus create a well linked community.
* You can use social bookmarking in your forums or blog and you will thus be able to invite a thousand of visitors to your web page.
* You can gun for the social bookmarking sites that are aimed towards a segment of market like the Flicker which will allow you to share photos with your loved ones who stay far away from you.
* When you use Web 2.0 to market your products, you have to realize that the customers of Web 2.0 are varied. Most of them are technology oriented, but some are still unaware of how to scoot around in the web pages. You will have to set up easy- to- use web sites for them. Moreover, these clients want safe transactions, and they are looking for someone who will stand by them to support them saying that they are making the right choices. You will have to cater to their needs since it is your responsibility to do to so.
Web 2.0 is very efficient to work in when you are starting off with online business, since it allows you create the proper relationship with your customers and you also get to use the right tools for your work without much of a hassle.
To squeeze the maximum benefit out of the Web 2.0, you have to follow a Web 2.0 plan that will help you to personalize and participate in peer-to-peer exchange.

What People Do to Build Successful Websites - This is Something You Cannot Miss
by Cheow Yu Yuan

A website is your 24/7 salesperson. Its main purpose is to provide information about your product or service to entice your prospects to buy from you. If you are running a business, you must treat your website seriously. A successful website can boost your business sales and take it to another level.
Every day, new websites are launched on the Internet. Internet has become the playing field of many companies and I am sure that your competitors are leveraging it very well. If you do not want to lose market share, you should develop a good website.
Many websites today are not up to standard. Some of them focus too much on design, while some don't give a heck about the look and feel. If you can just put in a little effort to make your website both interactive and search engine friendly, you are on your way to success.
A successful website presents information well. The purpose of your website is to serve as an online catalog that displays your services and products. If your visitors have trouble navigating your website to find what they want, you are going to lose the sales. Another thing to note is that you should not use only images as your navigation links. Search engines cannot follow image links to discover the content on other pages. Therefore, always include text links footer to make your website search engine friendly.
When you engage a web design agency to develop your website, make sure that you give them an idea of what you want. If possible, provide them with reference sites so that they can align themselves with your thoughts. Before you decide to hire an agency, make sure that you shortlist a few agencies first. You can go online or your local directory like Yellow Pages to get a list of web design agencies. Then compare quotes among them and choose the one that fits into your budget. Also, make sure that you understand exactly what the agency includes in their packages to prevent any misunderstanding in the future.
The last thing that you should do is to compare the price of a web design agency to a freelance designer. Web design packages vary in price because of quality and expectation. Nowadays, you usually get what you pay for.
So if you don't have a website currently or intend to revamp your website, you should do it fast. Remember, a good website is an asset to your business.
Five Crucial Components of Web Design
by Woody Longacre

Professional website developers know the importance of web design and the role it plays in making a website successful. Designing a successful website is no easy task, especially for someone who is new to the world of web development. With the help of web development applications many people can and do create decent websites. But decent in most cases is not good enough to make a site successful from a traffic or financial standpoint.
There are five crucial components of web design that you must focus on in order to make a site valuable to its visitors and successful for you.
- SEO - Getting free traffic to your site. - Usability - Ease of navigating around the site and finding desired information quickly. - Aesthetics - Visual appeal. - Content - Valid, up to date, relevant information - Graphics - Eye candy that relays relevant visual information to the visitor.
SEO Before you ever lay down a byte of HTML code for a site you have to know and understand at least the basics of SEO and how it fits into the design. SEO is the art of designing a site in a fashion that gives the site an advantage for obtaining free and abundant traffic.
The number one aspect of SEO is selecting keywords relevant to your site. The keywords you select should be based on high usage, low competition and relevancy to your topic. Once you select keywords you can then begin the development of your site. Keep in mind keywords are a critical aspect of the design. The keywords you choose will be applied within the design in strategic fashion to benefit the flow of traffic to your site. To understand more on how to implement SEO you should read and learn more about this important subject. If you don't, your website success will be difficult to achieve.
Usability Your website must be easy to navigate and designed in a way that makes it easy to find information. Visitors will not stay long if it takes more than one or two clicks to get the information they want or if it takes brain power to figure out how to get the information they want. One of the goals of your site design is to keep usability easy, and simple. To do this, apply the following three fundamentals of usability.
* Provide a site search tool. A visitor in a hurry can quickly find the info they desire then move on to the action they desire. * Provide simple, intuitive and consistent site navigation. This provides visitors the tool they need to leisurely explore their way through your site. * Provide logical and simple to follow content. The message of a site should start off in a simple and basic fashion with well defined links pointing the way to more detailed information or explanation as needed.
In the cases above the goal is to make it easy for your visitor to find the information they want without frustration or difficulty. Doing this well will have a positive effect on increasing the return of your visitors.
Aesthetics A website has to look clean, uncomplicated and strike a balance in layout that is pleasant to the visitor. Pleasing aesthetics come about when the colors of a site complement each other, the graphics blend and lend continuation of the theme and the layout brings unity and openness to the page.
Often overlooked by novice designers is the color palette of the site. While you can select color in a willy-nilly fashion and still provide a visually appealing site, a better idea for color selection should be based on an understanding of the color wheel and proven color strategies.
Many web designers often view a web page as an opportunity to blast a visitor with lots of information in hopes this will convince the visitor to take action. Usually this results in a quick exit due to the overwhelming visual effect and complicated look. A better approach is to provide less content and open space (referred to as white space) to allow visitors eyes to scan and explore with ease.
Content An important feature of any website is the quality of the text content. Visitors come to a site expecting to find answers to their questions, solutions to their problems or for entertainment value. The content offered at your site must be well-written, without grammatical or spelling errors. It also has to be relevant to the theme of your site, with valid, up to date information for your visitors. Content is King!
Graphics You can have a functional and usable website without graphic elements. However, if there are similar sites to yours that employ graphics, guess which site will get the most traffic. The necessary companions to any well-designed site are the images and illustrations that grace its pages. The images can't be any willy-nilly graphic that you might think is cool. Graphic imagery has to support your branding, and communicate the message you are trying to convey. Before you incorporate graphic elements into your site, take some time to look around the web. Notice what looks good and how elements are laid out. These same layouts techniques can be used as models for your site.
The Internet is a highly competitive business arena. To be successful with a commercial website, you have to keep these five crucial web design elements in mind. Contrary to what many will tell you, it is rarely possible to have commercial success without the benefit of a professional website. This is not to say that you must hire a professional, however you must implement professional design elements to improve your chances for success.

4 Hidden Secrets to Make Your Visitors Stay Longer on Your Website
by Cheow Yu Yuan

Is the bounce rate of your website very high? The bounce rate measures the percentage of total visitors that leave your site without visiting another page. If the bounce rate of your site is high, this means that your site is not sticky enough to make visitors stay longer and explore other pages.
Now, let me share with you 4 secrets to reduce your site bounce rate and make visitors stay longer:
1. The site navigation menu must be easy to use. You may find it extremely easy to navigate through every page of your site because you are the one who builds it. But for first time visitors, they may not find it easy. And when they have difficulty navigating through your site, they will leave and visit other websites. You should label your navigation buttons clearly. Make sure that visitors know where each menu button leads to. One way is to use common naming conventions.
2. Solid and updated content. Content is king. You site will not attract and retain visitors if it does not have valuable and updated information. So make it a point to update your site regularly. You can add a corporate blog to your site and make new blog post every day. If not, you can add articles that are related to your industry onto your site once every week. With solid content, visitors will explore your site more often and even pass your website link around to share with others.
3. There should be call-to-action statements to entice people to explore other pages of your site. You cannot expect visitors to explore your site automatically. Sometimes, they need a gentle reminder. You can include call-to-action statements on your home page to entice people to explore other pages. For example, if your website is about web design services, you can place a sentence like this on the home page: "Take a look at our web design portfolio by clicking here." This will prompt them to take action and click on the link to explore your site.
4. If your website contains lots of content, make sure that you provide a search function. The search function should easily be found on every page of your site. When a visitor cannot find your search function quickly, he or she may get impatient and leave. So always make sure that you place the search function at a prominent place on your website.
By making your visitors stay longer on your site, it increases the chance of conversions. So if your website bounce rate is high, make the necessary changes now.
