What's New! What's NOT New?
And How Much Extra Does SBI! Cost For All This?
RSS It! launches. Google Sitemaps is automated. Ditto for
Yahoo! Mass-Submit. Rather than use more space, take a
look at all the new power in SBI!...
http://buildit.sitesell.com/main/home.html#NEWFEATURES
And, beyond that, a whole host of constant updates, minor
launches, and so forth, don't even "make the news"...
o AdSense Site Updates
http://adsense.sitesell.com/adsense7.html
(Look for the red "NEW" graphics)
o Link Popularity Index Upgrade
o New Searches At Search It

SBI! was, of course, already the best. But with this
constant improvement, it's no wonder that it is getting
harder and harder to choose the sites that "make the cut"
for our Top 1% Results site, also recently updated...
New Results.sitesell.com Site
http://results.sitesell.com/
It's getting pretty bizarre. Obviously, you have to qualify
for the Top 1% by having the traffic to back it up. But
that is not nearly enough, not any more.
SBI! owners have a greater chance to "make the cut" if...
o their site is in a less crowded category
o it fits a certain Look and Feel we want to illustrate
(and we don't choose the most sensational ones
necessarily -- plain ones make a point, too)
o quality and nature of content are solid
o the site adds "fresh blood" to results.sitesell.com.
Bottom line? You only see a fraction of the sites that
could have made the Top 1%. Even then, it is way more than
the largest Web hosts in the world can demonstrate.

Consider the unmatched track record of success of SBI!...
http://proof.sitesell.com/
Consider the proof of that success, which no other company
even tries to duplicate -- the most you'll ever see is a few
so-so success stories.
And then consider all the abovementioned additions.
And finally, consider this...
What has your small business Web host done for you lately?
--
Oh yes, you may be wondering how much extra for all this?
The usual... Nothing. Nada. It's all included.

No Trick Or Treat. It's All Treats...
It's SiteSell's $100 Halloween Special!
Halloween. Boo!
The Web is one SCARY place for small businesses.
What else can you say about a 99% failure rate?
You could say that they don't have a GHOST of a chance.
They *DO* with SBI!. As a matter of fact, SBIers have a
success rate that's unmatched anywhere in the world...
http://buildit.sitesell.com/sbi-businesses/traffic-alexa.html
Speaking of scary things like ghosts, you may have guessed?
Yes, it's time for SiteSell's $100 Halloween Special.
Let's clear the mist, brush out the cobwebs, and scare away
the goblins and skeletons in the closet of old-fashioned Web
hosting. From now until midnight (when else?), Halloween,
it's time for the...

Whether you have been thinking about starting a part-time,
work-from-home business, or have a full-time, offline one...
Whether you are a raw newbie or a Net marketing pro...
No matter what your situation...
http://buildit.sitesell.com/sbi-businesses/index-monetize.html
.... there is no better PROVEN way to succeed online.
http://proof.sitesell.com/
The above URL offers UNparalleled, inarguable proof of success.
You would think that other companies would offer proof like
this if they could.
Wouldn't you?

Raising The Bar
The recent addition of RSS It! has raised the bar even
higher. So has automated Google Sitemaps and Yahoo! Mass-
Submit. Not only that, Monetize It! is in a final 2-week
countdown to imminent release.
And even Monetize It!, truly groundbreaking, will NOT add a
penny to our price for Site Build It!.
What other Web host do you know has added MAJOR power like
this recently WITHOUT charging a penny more?
http://www.sitesell.com/brand-new.html
If YOU've been considering SBI!, now is the time. Well over
40% of SBI! owners own more than one SBI! site, which is an
astounding success statistic in itself. So you just might
want to save that second Halloween site for yourself.
But my advice is give it to a friend or spouse or colleague.
AND, of course, add that person into your 2nd affiliate tier.
Change your business life, AND that of someone close to you,
for the better. Visit...
http://www.sitesell.com/
http://buildit.sitesell.com/
And then order at...
https://secure.sitesell.com/build/order.html
But hurry! Don't turn into a pumpkin.
This special offer ends at the stroke of midnight, Halloween.

The SBI! Forums... Follow Along For Free
If you earn a substantial amount of income from affiliate
programs and/or AdSense, you already know about Allan
Gardyne. He and his site, associateprograms.com, compose
*THE* #1 authority on "affiliatedom" in the world.
In Issue #272 of his e-zine, Associate Programs Newsletter
(Oct. 20, 2005), he had this to say about the SBI! Forums...
---------------------------------------
.... a truly superb resource.
.... a very popular, warm, friendly place where
friends come to help others succeed.
If you haven't seen these forums, you'll be
staggered by the amount of genuinely useful
information available on a huge range of topics.
You can't "join" or register for these forums.
However, if you want to read the posts, all you
have to do is sign up to be a 5 Pillar Affiliate.
It's as easy as that.
(It's a superb affiliate program with superb
products, but that's another story.)
---------------------------------------
I agree 100%. Personally, the SBI! Forums are my favorite
part of SBI!. Here are just a few examples of some
absolutely outstanding, must-read threads recently.
If you are not a SiteSell 5 Pillar Affiliate, join at...

Enjoy and benefit from the great information. Naturally, I
hope that you see a great fit...
1) With the people --> SBI! owners are friendly,
hard-working, forward-looking, and success-oriented.
2) With the demeanor of the forums -- The "help and be
helped" spirit and the flame-free atmosphere really do
create an environment that lives up to its byline...
"The Place For Friendly, Success-Focused Discussion"
One of the most overlooked factors that helps achieve
success is working in a culture of success. For those who
work from home, that culture is near-impossible to find.
You will experience it, profoundly, at the SBI! Forums.
--
Once you see the fit, the enthusiastic progress that SBI!
owners make towards success, the "I quit my day job" posts,
well that's when I hope it occurs to you...
It's all WIN-WIN-WIN.
Win for SiteSell and SBI!? Yes. We only want positive
focused, success-oriented people. (You will see, in the
forums, that we fire those who persistently focus on failure
and drag others down. They are not welcome.)
Win for YOU? A big YES! You want a powerful combination
of a process and a set of tools that actually works. SBI!
OVERdelivers.
Win for the SBI! community? Absolutely. The more people
who make helpful posts on over 60 topics in the SBI! Forums,
the better the forums get. This resource is snowballing.
Like I said...
WIN-WIN-WIN.
And there's no time like right now. The Halloween Special
expires midnight Halloween.
