Xsitepro Site Indexed As Fast as WordPress

Been using Xsitepro for about 4 years, I was hired to do graphics, custom Xsitepro Templates and minisites or adsense sites for a plr membership. At first, being a Dreamweaver fan, I really hated xsitepro. I thought Xsite to be somewhere between Front Page and Dreamweaver.
This was really before wordpress started to become popular, so the owner of the PLR site pressed me to crank out these Xsitepro adsense sites. The more I used it, the more I liked it and discovered how simple it would be for a newbie to use and start making websites.
I started using wordpress like everyone else….kind of forgot about Xsitepro and Dreamweaver. Then about a year ago, I dusted of Xsitepro and started creating some custom templates. I thought I’d try a sample site.
It was a small site with about 10 pages but designed to be 100′s. I purchased the domain, created and uploaded the 10 pages. Xsite creates a sitemap automatically, but you have to tell it to create a google sitemap. You also can tell it to create a rss feed….all of which I did. Next, I bookmarked the site. Pinged the site and submitted the rss feed to some rss directories.
I did everything in a couple hours one night.
This was a site focused on an offline directory for a local city. There was some good competition, in the directory I promoted several local businesses.
I had about 10 keywords and keyword phrases. 8 of the keywords were on page one the next day. A couple days latter all keywords were on page one at the top.
I was shocked. So I tried with another niche, almost same results. Been about 3 or 4 months and results have stayed right on top!
I love WordPress….. but proper use of Xsitepro can make those static pages shoot right to the top of the SERPS. In certain situations, Xsitepro is my tool of choice.
If you’re a newbie, don’t be discouraged. You need to practice proper niche research and development…dig out the proper keywords and implement all the built in SEO practices that Xsitepro offers. I’m trying to say it takes time, effort and knowledge in getting on top the SERPS….Xsitepro gets pages indexed, can help and is just as effective as wordpress.
Site Build It – XSite Pro – WordPress – Versus Each Other

Coding with Xsitepro, WordPress or SiteBuildIt
Xsitepro has on the market for a while now. 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. With the advent of Version 2, Xsitepro has crossed the hurdle from being an ordinary run of the mill website building application to a stellar application with many advanced features…..yet still is newbie friendly.
Xsitepro’s claim to fame was that it provided a way for newbies or those just entering the fine art of website building to get a website created and uploaded to the world wide web. I’m an advid user of Dreamweaver…in fact I love using Dreamweaver, however, I’m amazed at how easy Xsitepro is to use and amazed even more at the quality of sites one can build. Just do a google search on Xsitepro and you’ll find 1000′s of users that have websites and owe their internet websites to Xsitepro.
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 hope you find them useful.
Learn some of the advanced techniques of Xsitepro by using….Only for those who want massive success You won’t believe what these guys have done.
Here is a comparison of Site Build It, Xsitepro and WordPress. If your looking to build a website this video helps clear up confusion on these different web design software programs. For more info – http://www.createawebsitetutorial.com.
Why is Xsitepro Better Than Site Build It?

Filed under Xsitepro and Blogging
I ran into a post in a blog at Internet Marketing Tips and thought I’d post it here. It has to do with a question that a fellow posted at the xsitepro forum asking “What should he use, Xsitepro, WordPress or Site Build It….below is the question in full.
Hi there XSITEPRO Folks:
I hope all is well. I’m hoping you can please give me some impartial advice. Recently I’ve gone into business marketing the rock and roll photos of 40 years with photographer Don Aters.
Besides out existing sites and blogs we were considering one devoted to the sale/auction/wholesaling of the photos. We’ve talked with and emailed Site Build It.
My question please is you good people here obviously found XSitePRO the best way to go and I’m curious as to what attributes made you become a customer? Without badmouthing Site Build It, if you could be kind enough to tell me why they came up short it would be appreciated.
I want to make the right decision obviously and it isn’t only about the investment. There is an incredible amount of time and devotion that I give any project I’m affiliated with.
May all of you have the best results possible! Thanks for your time.
All the best,

Hey Craig….had to check out this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xhYk9PEmXA brings back some memories! Amazing how music let’s you transfer through time to relive an old chapter of your life
First I wonder what your experience is with building websites?
I think I can share some unbiased thoughts about website design and building.
First I wonder what your experience is with building websites?
Let’s assume you have little to no experience building websites.
Secondly, I learned to build websites and web design with Dreamweaver and today it is still my primary method of building websites, it took a long time to learn but you can do anything with it….but with the advent of XsitePro Version 2 is coming in a close second.
To be clear, I would not recommend Dreamweaver to anyone with little to no experience with building websites, unless you really want to commit and spend the time necessary to learn a little html and the Dreamweaver program.
When I first started out I purchased books…..bookstore type books on html and desperately wanted to learn how to build a webpage. This was almost 8 years ago. Sometime after that I looked into Sitebuild and almost invested in their system. It looked very good and still looks good. They were ahead of times with the approach they take.
However, as someone mentioned above, Sitebuild can be quite complicated and there is a pretty steep learning curve. Once you’re into their system you won’t be able to jump out of it…..I didn’t really understand that at the time I was looking into it, but based on what I’ve heard others say….this fact is true. They do seem to have a happy following though.
One thing you need to understand, if you are an inexperienced website designer or webmaster, you will experience some type of learning curve. Initially the program will seem strange and awkward to work with….doesn’t matter which one you’re looking at. The issue should be, which one will allow me to create a website with ease and quickly. Which program can I learn to use with the least amount of effort.
Of course, if you’re into being a geek like some of us, then you’ll want to know…how and why everything works. But I can tell you with XsitePro this isn’t necessary.
With [b]Xsitepro[/b] you can get a website up and running by using their “Recipe” type instruction. Do A, B, C, and D and you’re good to go. Want to add a page….do F and G and follow that process. Need to add images then follow steps H and I, now upload.
Of course that sounds easy, and in reality it is. However, as I said, there is a learning curve….get a handle on the basics and you can get a site up and running in no time. Because Xsite allows for easy editing, you can totally transform your website in the furture when your talents and creativity are increased.
[b]There is one big downfall.[/b] If you need help after you get your site uploaded, there is no way for someone to log into your account and edit the site and make the changes you need. You have the forum that has a bunch of very helpful people and xsite support, which I’ve not had to use….so I can’t comment on their support capabilities.
In a word, out of all the programs available for building websites, I would wholeheartedly recommend Xsitepro for building and maintaining websites. It is by far the easiest I have used in 8 years. And perhaps one of the most important aspects of XsitePro is the ease of maintaining your website once it’s up and running.
By maintenance I mean, adding pages, adding images, changing the structure of your website. Instantly changing the entire look of a website with a few mouse clicks in no time. Or just keeping the entire image, look and feel of your website the same in all your pages.
If I remember correctly sitebuild was very helpful in assisting the internet marketer pick a niche and focus on developing that particular market through proper seo techniques. At the time, when first developed, they (sitebuild) were one of the only groups using an organized approach for accomplishing niche targeting and proper seo techniques. Today it’s been the approach copied by every successful marketer.
Since you’ve already chosen your niche, this isn’t an issue. One of Xsitepro’s claim to fame is the way it builds and links pages. The importance of this relates to creating properly built webpages or websites with current search engine optimization techniques (SEO). While using Xsite I was really impressed with tools and the automatic creation of webpages that fit seo guidelines most expert webmasters and seo experts would be proud of. For you this means you’ll get your pages indexed by the search engines faster and which means you’ll be getting organic search engine traffic and by practicing some of the other seo techniques you could find yourself on the first page of google. This may not sound like a big deal now, but only a couple years ago, one had to pay big bucks to get a seo expert in to optimize your website and webpages….it could literally cost you thousands of dollars….with Xsitepro, the seo is just part of the automatic process of building a webpage and website.
I imagine you’re looked at WordPress. WordPress blogs have evolved into full Content Management Systems (CMS) and it creates webpages that are food for the search engine spiders. Satisfying search engine spiders is the first aspect of creating website traffic. The hardest thing about using a wordpress blog is creating the blog. There are tons of tutorials that will tell you how to install a wordpress blog, if you’re not comfortable with this you can always pay someone to install a blog…..wouldn’t cost you any more than $50. Installing a wordpress blog with on your website is more intimidating that it sounds….it really is very easy. Also the selection of themes (templates) is beyond comprehension, you can change themes and therefore the look of your blog with a click of your mouse. If you want a blog with a different look you can purchase one of the wordpress themes available or you can have a custom theme created.
Using wordpress as a platform for your website gives you many options, it doesn’t have to look like a blog….in fact you can create a static website with xsitepro and merge it with a wordpress blog. XsiteprotoWordpress is a comprehensive tutorial that teaches you how to seamlessly merge your xsitepro website with your wordpress blog. This is one of the best tutorials I’ve seen on the subject, complete with a written tutorial and video tutorials!
I’ve already gone too far with this post, however, let me say that the combination of wordpress and xsitepro is a powerful solution to your website building and development. Xsitepro might provide the static pages you need while a WordPress Blog will allow you to post or add pages and content on a consistant basis making your website a search engine magnet! For instance you might post an image a day, week or month and have the link on your blog go back to the xsitepro portion where they would make a purchase. At the same time, you can post daily with snippets of text that are keyword specific for anyone interested in purchasing the images or material that is related to Jefferson Airplane. The blog posts are important because they keep those spiders coming back and you’ll eventually get ranked for keywords people would use to purchase your products….all free traffic! While it’s true that you could do both operations in either an all xsitepro website or wordpress blog….the combination of xsitepro and wordpress allows you to capitalize on the expertise and superior aspects of both platforms, giving you a superior website.
In any case, do yourself a favor and grab a copy of XsitePro….even if you do sitebuild. Start learning how to use xsitepro and I guarantee you’ll build more than one website
Hope this helps a little

Maybe you wanted to install the wp blog in your website but didn’t want to have the blog look differently than the Xsitepro website.

If you purchased Xsitepro chances are that you purchased it because of the ease of creating websites. The other thing it does is create websites that have pages which are properly optimized for search engines. This is so very important if you want traffic to your website and Xsitepro does this automatically behind the scenes….to date no other website editor has been able to do this.

The beauty behind a wordpress blog is that creates webpages that are optimized to an even greater degree than xsitepro and attracts the search engine spiders like a magnet. At this point, there simply isn’t a better way to create a webpage that is built for traffic generation.

Learn WordPress at Active Blogging

Even if you love your Xsitepro program, you’ll find many advantages for adding a wordpress blog to your xsitepro website. I belong to a couple of memberships that teach about wordpress and one of the best is Active Blogging. I outlined some of the highpoints below, I urge you to incorporate a wordpress blog with your websites because it will attract search engine spiders like nothing you’ve ever witnessed. There’s another program on the horizon that will teach you everthing you wanted to know about using WordPress and Xsitepro…. make sure you check it out!
One of the most beneficial memberships I belong to is call Active Blogging. The createor, David Pankhurst packs some real value into the membership.
First if you couldn’t figure it out the membership covers various aspects of Blogging. In particular discussions and products are based around the wordpress platform.
I know there are many memberships covering wordpress but this one is unique in that every couple of months he provides a new plug in …and they aren’t cheap plugins you can find anyplace else. These are all original, in fact, the price of the membership is worth it if you just consider the plug ins.
For instance, this month Dave is giving his members the Easy Bulk Article Poster for WordPress plugin….a great plug in to have if you own some plr articles.
Speaking of plr articles, lately David has been giving away a pack of PLR articles each month for you to use as you see fit.
This month’s report also contains an aritlce on duplicate content, what it is, should you be afraid of it, how you can use it. The discussions about duplicate content are numerous you can pick up some great insights with Davids comments.
Mix Up Your WordPress Posts With Dave’s Easy Article Mixer! This month’s Member Plugin easily rearranges and publish articles, making it simple to automatically ’spread’ a large group of articles across a week, a month – or even longer! David discusses different ways to use this great plugin.
This month’s report contains more ideas, information and instructions on wordpress and internet marketing….stuff you won’t see elsewhere.
Blog
There is a blog you’ll have access to, and it isn’t like most membership blogs, David puts in effort to deliver valuable usable content to help make your blogging successful while helping you to make money.
Forum
There is a membership forum where you can post your questions about wordpress. I all honesty the forum isn’t really busy, however, anytime I have had a question about anything that involves wordpress I post it to the forum and David answers the question within 24 hours. It’s kind of like having your own personal wordpress tutor.
Videos
There is a video section with 100′s of videos that teach on various aspects of seo, wordpress or internet marketing. Like having your own teaching library.
Plugins
More plugins than you can shake a stick at….all custom or cusomized plugins, I’m not sure how long they will all be available to new members.
Reports
There is a section of reports that covers special reports that David has written and sold elsewhere for $27 or more. Some reports he has gotten rights to but the material is excellent. Most cover wordpress secrets!
There are 3 levels of membership from free to platinum. I would suggest the Platinum membership because it will give you the most value for the dollar.
Like most items I promote, I usually will not promote or suggest anything I haven’t used, and The Active Blogging membership is something I belong to and have used for the last year or so and whole heartedly recommend it!

Xsitepro or WordPress
July 3, 2008 by Scott
Filed under XsitePro Version 2
The question always comes up whether someone should use Xsitepro or WordPress. Well, there are some very subtle differences and some very unique differences between wordpress and xsitepro.
First Xsitepro is a website editor that builds static website pages. It’s good for the newbie and experienced website builder, especially with the advent of Xsitepro Version 2.0 and WordPress is a blogging platform. WordPress is more of a dynamic type of website. Actually, it would be smart if you learned how to do both, because you can use static websites and a dynamic websites together to create a flow of traffic to the website that makes you money….whether it be a blog of static website.
