Andy I like your idea to put WP Blog on front page and SPB on the backstage. It does make a SPB site more like a regular blog. I wish I could learn more php to achieve similar results.

Kenji

Andy,

Thanks for sharing.

Did Googlebot crawl your sites? Was any of the sites indexed? I believe you can find out if Googlebot come crawling to your sites from your webhost's webstats for your sites. Anyway, if you are getting organic traffic without promoting the site, then most likely your site is indexed but it is still interesting to know where your organic traffic come from. Do you install any kind of web analytics? I use Statscounter for my sites and it can show all kinds of statistics so I will know where my traffic comes from.

Thanks again.

Hi Kenji,

Yes, both the Learn Guitar & Christmas sites were indexed is less than a week ...

1,410 pages of my Learn Guitar site have already been indexed (you can check by entering - site:valuehideout.com/learnguitar/ - in Google).

The interesting point is that most of the organic search came via social media tag keywords ... which proves JP point.

Cheers,

Andy

Andy, glad to read your results... but after driving millions of visitors using this system, this is a scientific approach. The proof I get from your post is that you can do it when you take action. The major issue is with people waiting for things to happen without doing anything. This system works, but of course it won't work for people not doing anything :-)

Yeah Site Profit Bot isn't what it appears to be. I know the idea of getting a million visitors in a year and tens of thousands of dollars in adsense revenue appeals to a lot of us. The increased adsense revenue may be true because those pretty ad images is about the only thing that attracts visitors.

The updated version of SPB 1.3 does provide about a dozen more templates to choose from. I've tested out a few of the newer templates and they aren't formatted correctly. They're too wide causing surfers to have to scroll left and right, a big no no.

The homepage doesn't look appealing at all, even if you do populate your website with your own articles. There's just too much blank space. Everything is aligned to the left and a few things aligned right. The center is pretty much blank.

When you take a keyword and build your site around it that becomes your titles and headlines. So in the case of "Learn Guitar" you would see under the blog tab "Learn Guitar Blog" or under news "Learn Guitar News" I even created some banners to place in the top area to fill the blank space that is left after the keyword title and the keyword just populates over top the banner.

There really isn't much you can do with this software except for making quick junkie content sites to pull in visitors and monetize with adsense. Even the adsense ads are not placed in strategic locations. You get the first one at the top of the page that's nice, but if visitors do go to another page on the site, they'll most likely see the same ad again.

Content Website Builder is way better and it's half the price. At least with CWB I can edit quite a lot of the site with banners, choose my own keywords, get rid of all the stuff that draws attention to your site from SE's like "Powered By" video content is also easily added through feeds.

So SPB is a lot of hype that doesn't deliver and there are way better programs in the same price range and some even cheaper

Hi all

From the reviews, this software sounds like it has a lot of potentials of what it can do (building sites in a flash) very impressive. I am interested to find out whether anyone here has generated income from the websites that are created using this software?

GlenH

I feel sad when people fall into the trap of thinking that there's magical weapon out there that with the press of a couple of buttons they build a profitable internet business empire themselves

There is no such thing

You might not want to hear (or believe) that, but I've see it time and time again.

Anyway...just my opinion

--Glen

creativentrepreneur

Glen,

You're absolutely right. Despite all the the hype out there, it is always important to remind newcomers to the Internet marketing business, that IM is no different from any other business - you need to plan you business, build it and promote it. There are many tools out there that help you execute your business plan quicker and scale your business faster, but these are just tools ... they cannot replace your thinking and creativity to make your business successful. If you focus on creating a plan and taking the steps to acting on it, you will succeed, irrespective of the tools you use.

My 2 cents.

Andy

gcintermed

People wouldn't THINK that if internet marketers didn't constantly PROMISE that.
For example, SiteProfitBot boasts that it is a "push button solution" that cranks out sites in 30 seconds. Almost every IM sales pitch has some variation on that kind of "instant results with no effort" pitch. We keep falling for it, because they keep promising it...with more convincing methods.

Raych

Besides that, I can't get their Support to reply to my emails. I wonder why?

Raych

Evidently, they do not reply to emails requesting a refund. I have tried several times due to some serious issues I've noticed, but there has been no reply. This is contrary to their sales page that promises "refund within 60 days -- no questions asked". I'm posting here after having tried other avenues to get ethicash support to respond.

JP -- if this is simply a technical glitch at your support end, here is your chance to rectify it. You can send me a PM.

pearsonbrown

JP posted in another thread here that it is pointless sending emails and that you should use his support system. Unfortunately, I can't find that post with the details. Anybody?

Pearson

Raych

I did send my email to the ethicash support email he designated as his support address, the only one address given to customers. I am still giving JP Schofield and his crew the benefit of the doubt, but not for much longer.

thinredline

Raych,

Did you open a ticket here?

I submitted support ticket for refund yesterday but it still opened. Usually I got very quick response for refunds from other sellers. Sometimes within hours and no question asked. I will see how it works this time.

thinredline

Ok. 48 hours passed and my ticket for refund is still open. Any update on others' request?

thinredline

Now almost one week has passed, and my ticket for refund is still open. JP said it's pointless to send him emails so I created post in SPB forum. Not surprisingly it was deleted. I just don't know there is any other way to raise JP's attention. I can understand sometimes support person got overwhelmed, but it's very rare that an open ticket is left unanswered for a week. Left the software alone, the support system is already a big deal breaker for me. JP, can you hear me?

Raych

I placed a refund request on Dec. 28, 2009. As of today, I still have not received it. I also would like to hear from you, JP.

Raych

Just wanted to be fair to JP and report that I received my refund yesterday. Thanks, JP.

thinredline

Unfortunately, no refund received up to today for me.

balara

After submitting a ticket requesting a refund, I received what is probably a copy and paste reply that urged me to try the product out for a full 60 days. I replied that I did not wish to do this and please refund the purchase price promptly.....no reply received. Maybe refunds are not going to be made until after the 60 days is up. Either way, it's poor service and not what I would have expected from JP.

Veronica

balara

My faith in JP is fully restored. He has made my refund. Thank you JP.
Veronica

thinredline

My refund is still outstanding although tickets have been submitted twice. Just no response. I will see if JP will eat his words.

b0ndr3ws

ThinRedLine...I have had the same experience trying to get a refund for SiteProfitBot. I have submitted my refund request 3 times even attaching my PayPal receipt as instructed by the same response email from JP. It has been a week and no refund, much less a refund as promised in his sales page guarantee.

Did you do anything extra in order to get your refund? This is very disappointing because JP has been very reliable in honoring his promises in the past. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have tried the support desk already

thinredline

I got refund today. Although it took two weeks, but better than not being refunded.

b0ndr3ws

I finally did receive mine too. It took a little more than two weeks. While I am glad and do admit he did honor his guarantee, I have to admit the communication was sketchy and hardly as good as some of the others I have dealt with in the past.

Like I said, I have purchased other items from him without issue and liked the products, but this episode does give me pause about purchasing from him again.

Good luck to all with Site Profit Bot.

trimmerman

The newest post I can find is Dec 09. I didn't think I had been using it that long. I liked it. I'm a domainer, so it really worked for me. I could set up a fairly decent looking website with refreshing content in minutes.
It didn't permit very much of your content. It was advertized that you could publish articules. It was not easy. You had rebuild the site each time. It only takes a minute or two, but still it's a little dangerous. That's what happened to me. I was doing a rebuild/update and something went wrong and I haven't been able to get it to work again.
There was supposed to be no limit on use. The siteprofitbot app. still exists. However I have not been able to get it to function for some months. I have been troubleshooting my webhost but I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I keep getting 403 and 404 errors. I'm still trying to fix it.
I still think it is a good idea and there is room to improve the product. I don't know what has happened. There is not proper contact information on the site, strange.
I don't want my money back, I want it to function. If there is upgrades available I would consider them, for a reasonable price, but only if what I purchased before starts to work again.
I'm not emotional about this. It's part of the craft. I just thought I'd give an update.

I just have the basic version and edit the templates to include Clickbank code and also remove some links and sections like the ebay part as i couldnt get an affiliate signup with them.

B2B Ecommerce Software - B2B Ecommerce Software Solutions B2B

Its number 2 for b2b ecommerce software in Google at the time of writing this.

I have other sites in subfolders of Wordpress blogs as well.

Treated Now | Health news and Articles

The anti-aging, antioxident, health foods and vitamins sections are Siteprofit minisites.

I say minisites as the only real problems i have had are the due to the caching it can take up to 500mb per site and some of the video that get pulled are from Revver not youtube and Revver seems to not work often so the videos do not load.

Theres nothing to stop you editing the template files after the site is created and just uploading the edited section so you dont have to recreate the whole site again. To add more articles just upload them to the blog folder. Make sure though that the titles do not have odd characters in them or hythens or question marks as this can cause problems with some of the internal linking.

To see changes just delete the pages cache file so a new one is created when the page loads.

I like it as i was fed up with constant Wordpress problems, updates, plugin updates Wordpress hacks etc and wanted something simple that could be left alone a lot more. Just the odd check for disk space and any cached files that had strange filenames due the way they are created.

Ethiccash

@trimmerman : I am not sure what your issue is. But since it's a desktop software, there cannot be any 403 or 404 error. You just use it as any desktop software to generate the website. If you're refering to the websites you created, then the issue is on the server side.

As allonline reports, you just need to add articles and clean the cache without rebuilding the website when you want to edit it. It's that easy. Also, we have tons of customers making a killing with tis software. It's easy to get hundreds of first page rankings just with one website (due to its internal linking strategy and to the way it collects and display content).

Thanks, JP. Hadn't heard about any updates in awhile, and was beginning to wonder if you abandoned this.

trimmerman

@JP
Thank you for the reply. I figured out what the problem was. A person only needs to set all the permissions to 755. I just went into my webhost control panel file manager and changed them. It only took a few minutes.
Thanks for the advice on posting articles, I will be trying it.
I looked at allonline's B2B Ecommerce Software Solutions B2B. The supplied ad spaces seem to stretch up/down a little if you need more space that way. Do you agree?
JP: I intend to start using my siteprofitbot a lot. I think SPB has a lot of potential. However, it could use some improvement. A big space for articles right at the top of the page and an admin area to type or copy the articles on the site would be great. It is necessary for good SEO to have fresh content in that space regularly. Please work on it. I will be posting things I try that prove out to work as they develop.

Later, Jeff

trimmerman

I have been working with the SPB. I discovered something today. If you do a generic search: "Latest News and Information on" with the quotation marks. You get an almost perfect list of all the SPB sites in your search results. I don't think Google is banning SPB sites. Clearly, they do come up in search results. However, It is quite possible that Google makes our SPB sites "not" fall in the top 1000 of a generic search.
I think users need to be able to control this line of text on our sites. There might be a way. I will work on it.

trimmerman

I have been working on the problem with the generic search. It is simple to correct. You go to the file manager of your web host. Open the "header.php" file with an editor. It's a heavy duty html file, but it is fairly simple surgery to improve. Near the top of the page you will see <title>Latest news and information on<
It is simple text. You can change this to whatever you want. I recommend 70 characters or less so it fits cleanly on the first line of the google search but it can be more. Save the file and it will change almost immediately. If you change it several times in one day it might take three days to fully reconcile but it will. The improvement on a google search is amazing. My site went from nowhere in the first 1000 pages to page three of the search in a few minutes. I will be writing a slogan that is even better soon.
I am still working on getting good looking original posts on the top of the page but I feel it is not much harder. I will keep you all posted.
