The garbage that gets posted on forums
Received an email by a fellow SiteSell affiliate that got me rather annoyed. It went like this:
"Hi Steve,
I've seen SiteSell discussed on a couple of forums. The discussions revolved around the high site rankings but this may soon be a thing of the past. From what I gathered, SiteSell leaves a "footprint" that is recognized by the search engines. The search engines have adjusted their algorithms to account for this footprint. Do you know anything about this?
Jennifer"
This was my response:
"Hi Jennifer,
Don't believe everything you read on the forums. Anyone who says Sitesell leaves a "footprint" which would negatively impact their SE rankings is talking through their neck. It's absolute crap. This would be to imply that Sitesell sites trick search engines to obtain high rankings. Nothing could be further from the truth. Site Build It sites rank well because they are built by people keen to build a real business with genuine high quality content, exactly the sort of site searchers want to find and what the search engines want to deliver.
People post all sorts on things on forums, based on their own un-proven theories or misconceptions. Or they read it somewhere else so it must be true. Then it snowballs and gets passed on as fact. Don't play that game Jennifer. Build you own SBI site and evaluate it for yourself. It's not a magic pill. It won't rank well just because you built it with SBI. You have to use the tools and follow the action guide, but at the end of the day YOU have to create the content and build a site that people will want to visit. SBI just makes it easier for those people to find it."
So my advice to Jennifer and anyone wanting to build a successful online business, is don't believe everything you read, especially on forums, even though the writer may have had good intentions. By all means read and observe, but do your own tests and make your own evaluations before taking anyone's opinion as the undisputed truth.
And to anyone who says SBI sites are being penalised simply for being SBI sites, I say prove it and I'll walk naked down the main street in Sydney.
