INTERNET MARKETING

I am thinking of using weebly. How good are they? Most importantly, are they Google friendly?

If I use an exact match domain, will it be indexed by Google. I need to know more about weebly.

All info will be appreciated

My friend spent about $130 for his weebly website which looks very simple. If I would have known I could have hooked him up with a cheaper hosting service and then gone to Fiverr to get the website built or I could have made a WordPress site for him.

There are cheaper and better alternatives. Check out WordPress.

I signed up for a web page some time ago just to see what they offered. You basically get a subdomain of their top level domain (xxxxxx.weebly.com). However, I think they do have a custom domain option now. Also, Weebly is not dynamic like blogging software. It's for static websites that don't change very much.

My suggestion would be to use it as a supplementary marketing tool to redirect visitors to your main site or to sign up for a newsletter, etc.

And yes, you can SEO your site. They do support pretty URLS.

I am using weebly for my squeeze page, and it seems to be working fine. They offer domain customization, and you can easily import code using avu.

Very good, in my experience.

I have sites there which I've been using for over 3 years and I'm really pleased with Weebly: I think they're a very underrated host. (Like many of Weebly's longstanding customers, I'm not a Wordpress user).

Which host you use is barely relevant to your site's Google-friendliness at all. I have sites/blogs at Weebly, at HostGator, and in other places too, and - apart from country-specific hosting situations which are obviously very different, as Google's Matt Cutts keeps clarifying - it never occurs to me at all to think about which host is more "Google-friendly" than another.

The question you're asking really has nothing to do with Weebly.

If you like it, use it because it's a good host; use it because its built-in site-builder is a pleasure to use; use it because it's dead easy; or use it for whatever other reasons you like: but it has nothing in principle to do with how well your site will rank. That's up to you, not up to your host.

But whatever you do, if you're hosting at Weebly, don't also register your domain-name through them: you know never to register and host in the same place, right?
