I can’t agree more with Ken. I use wordpress as a CMS and get outstanding results, but that’s only because I use the CTPM method. Blogging is fantastic for some, but for most it requires to much constant “content fidgeting”. Blogs /can/ work. But it’s much, much more efficient to organize the info in a traditional website style.

I’ve followed Ken Envoy since I started my online business over 5 years ago and have learned a lot from his ebooks and lessons. The man is a genius!

I know a guy that has an SBI site in a competitive niche that he hasn’t touched in about 3 years and it still consistently ranks highly on Google for numerous keywords. That shows the power of SBI.

When it comes to building businesses and not just websites Ken is the man to listen to.

I can’t think of a good question to ask him right now but I am very curious to see the interview.

I think sitesell is probably good for an absolute internet beginner with very little tech skills. I downloaded the freebie, and took a quick look. Pretty hefty at 258 pages . . . but you’d think they would have at least included a table of content with all those pages.

My question for Dr. Evoy:

I have long considered the Keyword tool a major asset to SBI. It offers things simply not available anywhere else. I would love to have access to the keywords tool and I would be willing to pay the yearly fee to get it. I simply want the freedom to use the software of my choice. Is there any plan to open up your terms of service to allow for this?

Thanks for your consideration!

I have to admit I was a bit disappointed at first when I seen the page that became the source of discussion (I get it as affiliate) but after careful reading I have to agree with many points.

Blogging is great but it is NOT for everyone. But those who do use it should be well aware of its limitations as well as benefits.

Question for Ken:

Obviously you see the benefits of blogging since you are using one yourself and I believe offering one as part of the system to each customer. I can see that blog software on your own blog is Typepad and not our beloved WordPress :D – what was the reason behind the choice?

Hey Ken,

Just wanted to say thanks. Bought and built a sit e using your software last year. Worked on it a lot at first but not much since due to other obligations. It still yet provides me with a nice secondary income each month

There’s no doubt that Sitesell is a fantastic introduction to much of internet marketing via niche marketing, opt-in lists, Adsense, RSS etc.

Would you build a second site uysing Sitesell?

Well, I wouldn’t but my Aunt Martha would.

Sitesell is more a community than a site builder…and you can participate in that community as is your wont*. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a great education for a small price.

What is SiteSell/SBI’s biggest problem or challenge currently? What is being done to correct it?

what is the biggest obstacle for potential customers to overcome when deciding SBI or another alternative?

Of course the Internet is a very crowded “Where’s Waldo?” world. So you cannot expect a magic pill like having a blog to ensure your website’s visibility among the crowd. Nor can you expect that a cookie-cutter website will do the job either.

I am sure SiteSell does have users that have good traffic. However I would guess the majority of clients will be somewhat disappointed. My question for Ken Evoy would be:
What percentage of your clients’ websites achieve more than 25 visitors per day on average?

Do you believe that someone can build a successful website using the SBI process (C-T-P-M) if it isn’t hosted with SBI? Say a site built on top of WordPress that follows the CTPM strategy, for example.

And if so, why do you believe someone should use SBI for more than one site once they understand the basic strategy?

Most of these discussions about SBI vs Xsite Pro/Wordpress/hand-built/etc websites are really more of a discussion about the content on the site and the mindset of the person building it, in my opinion.

Even this blogging article/presell landing page wasn’t really about blogging being bad (although the subject line of Ken’s email made it appear that way). It seemed to me to be more about using the wrong style of site for what you want to accomplish – trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, so to speak.
