Using XsitePro2

As many of the regular vsiitors here know, I don't consider myself an out and out "domainer", as I have a number of business intereststhat all stem from what I do online.

I suppose I'm more of an Internet Marketer with an interest in domains.

On this blog and in the very few forums I frequent, I have often promoted the use of XsitePro, since that's the tool that has allowed me to develop large numbers of web sites and earn some pretty decent money overthe years.

A lot of attention is being given to XsitePro2 at the moment and so today, I began a new site. No doubt I'll regret it later, as it's already taken up half a day, but here goes.

I've decided to show people how to build web sites using XSitePro2 by preparing some videos that should help even the rawest of beginners to use this complex, yet amazingly simple to use web site builder.

The new site is called XsiteProTips and resides at http://www.xsiteprotips.co.uk/ - I'm inviting questions from owners (or potential owners) who need a push in the right direction.

I hope you like it.





UPDATE:





I'd like to show yuou something that demonstrates the power of XSitePro and the power of a relevant domain name. This screenshot is from Google.co.uk search engine results for the term "XsitePro tips" - I could barely believe it myself - the domain is less than 12 hours old!





Yes, that's me at number 1 in less than 12 hours.

It's number 5 on Google.com (at least from the UK) - and to think, people waste tons of money on pay per click trying to grab an affiliate commission.

Sometimes, you just have to laugh.

Hi David,

I've been reading your website for quite sometime now, and I've decided to take the plunge and try to develop one of my domain names. A little bit nervous, to tell you the truth!

I have no background in coding whatsoever, any hope for someone like me??? I'm a litte scared by XsitePro. People seem to be recommending Dreamweaver--what are your ideas on this?

Anyhow, my two options right now are: directory website (maybe charge for listing on it), or mini-site. Which is generally easier to start off with?

Any suggestions will be sincerely appreciated!

Scared by XSitepro? Dreaweaver is a monster by comparison, but if you have the time to learn structure, templates, design, SEO and a myriad of other things, then why not?

Though if you've never published a web site before, then creating something with a view to charging for advertising might be a little ambitious, unless your domain is in a nice profitable niche and is getting tons of traffic already.

Hi David,

Wow, thanks for responding. Honestly, I'm talkin out of my arse right now in comparing Dreamweaver to XSitePro...I don't know what I'm talking about! I just know a lot of people have recommended Dreamweaver.

I own a portfolio of over 100 domain names I've bought over the years. I haven't done anything with them yet, and I just think it's time to get started. Put up or shut up, if you know what I mean.

Sorry to sound so lame, but is there a quick way to see which of these is getting the best traffic?

Beyond that, would you recommend I outsource development of my first site, or do it on my own with either Dreamweaver or XSitePro?

Thank you.

"Sorry to sound so lame, but is there a quick way to see which of these is getting the best traffic?"

Park your names at a ppc site to see if they get traffic. There's no other way, unless they are keyword-stuffed names that you can check on Overture or wordtracker.

If you have the money, outsource. If not, XSitePro is great and good enough for many projects.

30 days free trial is available on XSitepro so click on my affiliate link (that's the ad to your right) and grab a copy while it's still priced low enough to afford!

Who knows, I might even be able to feed the kids next week.
