SiteBuildIt!

SiteBuildIt! is a suite of web site building and promotion tools that includes a hosting package, page builder, search engine submission, keyword generator, and marketing strategies to promote your site. SiteBuildIt! is a tool designed to help you create your online business from scratch, targeted specifically at affiliate marketers.

When I started looking for the most successful affiliate products, SiteBuildIt! kept coming up again and again. I think this may be because affiliates love to *sell* it more than it is because they love to use the product. The majority of the neutral reviews I read indicated SiteBuildIt! is a decent product for newbies who don't have any experience in web programming, but its applications are limited due to lack of compatibility for dynamic scripting like cgi or php. It is a simple tool that allows you to make simple, good looking HTML pages, and helps you promote them to search engines and monetize them. For more advanced purposes, it is somewhat lacking. That said, the product costs $300 a year, of which affiliates earn $75 for each sale, plus a portion for each year the customer renews their subscription. This is a big payout for affiliate products and one that is recurring. To me, this explains SiteBuildIt!'s generally high ranking more than the product offering.

Creating web page has been made simple by a variety of free products (see http://pages.google.com/); search engine submission is typically free; and web site hosting is in the range of $30 a year -- 1/10th of the cost of SiteBuildIt! As an affiliate product for you to market, I think it is a great one to select based on the payout and the recurring payment model. As a tool to build sites to market your other affiliate products... it might be worth experimenting on your own, taking a few free HTML tutorials online, and seeing what results you can produce without shelling out $300 a year for what is basically a glorified hosting package.

Get Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 from Amazon for about the same price as a one year subscription to SiteBuildIt! and make as many web sites as you want with it.
