Xsitepro Business Directory Template Stats for First 2 Weeks

Here’s a quick look at the traffic to the Best of Mchenry Local Business Directory. To refresh your memory, I’m working on an Xsitepro Business Directory Template that can be use to create Local Offline Business Portals or Templates. The Best of Mchenry site was uploaded on July 18th, 2009. Take a look at the screen shot for July 28th to August 4th.

One thing to consider is that this site is brand new. There are only 5 local businesses from Mchenry, Illinois. I have a couple of blog posts going to the site, I submitted a RSS feed to some RSS directories and that’s it. No articles, no press release, no real program for backlinks. It’s important for you to realize that I haven’t put a big effort into building back links or any other traffic method……. because, Xsitepro does an excellent job of attracting search engine spiders and getting pages indexed! I need to mention this because I constantly see ill informed people saying that Xsitepro is just another website editor and if you really want traffic you should start using WordPress. That statement is completely false, while wordpress is awesome for all it does, it does not negate the strenghts and abilites of Xsitepro.

One of the big benefits of Xsitepro is that it uses templates, a system like Xsitepro Business Directory Template allows even the new user to simply use the template, fill in some content, save and upload. The google sitemaps and rss feeds are automatically updated. You can ping some of the services and you’ll start getting traffic. To prove the point check out the screen shot of the traffic stats….like I said, I didn’t do anything since I set the site up. You won’t see that kind of traffic or activity from a site made with Dreamweaver or any other html editor.

Xsitepro Directory Template will be ready soon, drop me your email and name
and I’ll let you know when it’s ready to go, plus you’ll get a prelaunch discount!

More Surprises for Xsitepro

You’ve probably seen or heard of Xsitepro if you’ve been online during the last 4 years. Version 1 was the first version and after many upgrades and much success the folks at Xsitepro finally created a totally new version….Version 2. The new version is awesome, allowing many of the custom features older users of version 1 requested.

Xsitepro became famous by creating a way for the novice webmaster to concieve, build and upload a website to the internet with a very small learning curve. You’ll find Xsitepro Version 2 stands up to programs like Dreamweaver, Frontpage and NVU, however, these other programs don’t compare to the ease of use you find in Xsitepro. I run across testiomonials from people across all ages and occupations who now use Xsitepro to build websites…..it really is amazing!

As Xsitepro developed and it’s use has been simplifed by other users there have been a pile of 3rd party applications, courses and ebooks to help explain and make the use of Xsitepro even easier. Every week I search around for a good Youtube video that will further explain how to use at least one aspect of Xsitepro, most are really helpful.I know you’ll find these videos helpful.

I found this resource very helpful…..Review the Membership that Makes money….Earn1KaDay Learn making money on the web by folks who are doing it and want to help you achieve your goals. I think this is one of the most life transformin memberships in the internet marketing world. Learn hear and you’ll be able to enter and conquer any niche….I promise!

Xsitepro Business Directory Pulls Postion 1 and 2 on Google for “hardwood flooring mchenry”

Once again I’m working with the Xsitepro Business Directory Template on a live site at http://www.bestofmchenry.com. The time line puts me at the end of a 2 week period after the site was up.

Two of the businesses on the site are flooring companies and both happen to do hardwood floors. I used Google to search for “hardwood flooring mchenry“ and the below screenshot gives you the result.

Much to my excitement the 2 businesses in www.BestofMchenry.com are in postion 1 and 2 on Google search results….and this is only after 2 weeks. Keep in mind, this could have happened much sooner, I really don’t know because I was very sick after putting the site up and didn’t pay much attention to it during the first 2 weeks.

So to recap. We have a Local Business Directory at www.BestofMchenry.com that has 6 local businesses, 2 of which are flooring companies.

When searching “hardwood flooring mchenry” both flooring companies have the top 2 positions in Google!

So…..you Xsitepro users, DO NOT think that WordPress is better than Xsitepro. Xsitepro gives WordPress a run for the money. These are two different forms of content mangement systems and wordpress will probably do some things better than Xsitepro, however, the reverse is true. Xsitepro is just as good if not better for greating local business portals and other content managment sites.

Not bad considering I haven’t done anything other than use Xsitepro to create a RSS file and then submitted the file to the rss directories.

This template is almost ready to go…make sure you sign up in the pre notification list and I’ll make sure you get a special pricing when it is finally released

Here’s a screenshot….check it out!

“5BucksADay” Teaches How to Build a Real Business with Xsitepro

If you purchased and use Xsitepro then you have, at least to some degree, a desire to learn how to make money online. At times I think the phrase “make money online” is almost a curse word, however, once you’ve been online for a while you can’t help but see the blatant opportunities to make money online right in front of your. I won’t go over all the methods of making money online, but let me get you to change your nomenclature….that is, how you call the opportunity in front of you.

Your goal is to make money online. However, the reality of the situation is that you have the opportunity to build your own business online that will make money online. Something that’s never been available before in history. There are so many directions you might decide to go….there are so many different guru types telling you to do this or that, buy my product, join my membership or purchase my $2000 dollar course….there are even hands waving you toward the next greatest seminar when you only have to spend $5000 to get in and then spend another $10,000 to join their master group because you’re just the person they’re looking for…… ya right

I can’t help but be cynical at some of this stuff….grant it, many of these opportunities are legit! But how are you going to know?

I have an idea for you.

I just put up this page called “5 Bucks a Day”. Before you think that’s a joke, listen to me. Dennis Becker of Earn1KaDay internet marketing membership searched, bought products, went to seminars and still was behind the eight ball….that means in red ink to you whipper snappers Dennis worked on a strategy and concept that focused on making $X amount a day. In other words, how can I make $X Dollars a day. He started off low, thus the book, “5bucksADay”. He talks about the mindset and strategies needed to start making $5 dollars a day on a consistant basis. Next, increase your desired dollar amount….let’s say $20 dollars a day, then, how about $100 dollars a day and finally his new membership teaches you how to make $10000 dollars a day and the membership is called Earn1KaDay.

Anyway, Xsitepro fits in perfectly with this concept and you can start with this book, “5BucksADay”, it’s a free download and just might be what you need to get your butt in gear and start focusing on a goal you can accomplish. Success is very possible and trust me, dumber people than you have achieved these goals.

Xsitepro Business Directory Template …. less than 2 weeks all 31 pages indexed in Google

I’ve been doing some tests with the site I put up in July called www.BestofMchenry.com which is built with Xsitepro and the template is part of my Xsitepro Business Directory Template. Anyone who would use this template should be concerned with how it does regarding the speed of indexing by Google and how long it takes to get into the search results.

I started chronicling this new Xsitepro Offline Business Template, and you can see some of the details at this post.

Next I discussed some of the theory of the Xsitepro Business Directory Template.

I was in the hospital and been feeling like dirt…..so I haven’t been able to do much. I didn’t add any pages or do any marketing for the site, however, I was surprised to see 31 pages indexed in Google…..take a look:

Remember, these are the results simply from using Xsitepro. I created an rss feed from within Xsitepro and submitted to some rss directories. Other than that, nothing has been done to the site in 2 weeks. Next post I’ll show you some screen shots of how the pages rank in the Local Business Directory!

“Why should I use Xsitepro when WordPress can do everything better?” I see this question often, especially in the warrior forum. I’ll be the first to say that wordpress is awesome, however, there are circumstances that a static website such as one built with Xsitepro is better. I think this is the case when creating A Local Business Portal for your profit. It’s very easy to edit and gets indexed just as quick as wordpress. The built-in tools of Xsitepro allow for many of the special features of the site and give the webmaster a lot of control when it comes to optimizing each page. The Links Page is totally awesome for a business directory and I found the search engines grab these links pages first and the beauty behind Xsitepro is that you can configure the Links Pages in many different ways…….and without going into great detail, the Links Pages could be the bait that will help you draw in more clients than you can handle.

Next post I’ll give you some screen shots for the local businesses…..sneak preview…..all on page one! But don’t fool yourself, this isn’t going to happen unless you follow the strategies I will include with this template!

Here’s the 31 indexed pages.
