XsitePro – Wordpress – Site Build It – Compare the Differences

April 14th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Need to find out what the difference of Xsitepro, Wordpress and Site Build It are? Not sure which one is the right software for you to use to help you create a website? Here is your information to help you compare these website builders.

XsitePro (US$197.00 one time fee)

If you know what your website theme will be and have done keyword research for it, but have never created a website or have one and are looking for a new website builder, you may want to take a look at this program. Here are just a few things about Xsite Pro:

  • Xsite Pro sits on your computer and work on your site whenever you want.
  • Create page quickly and easily
  • Add Google Adsense easily
  • Keep all affiliate links within the wizard to use across any web sites you create with Xsitepro
  • Create Sitemap and submit to Google
  • Create pop-ups, pop-overs and pop-unders
  • Creates Robots.txt file (to let them spiders follow, index or disallow any page you choose)
  • Easily create redirect pages to help hide unattractive urls or disguise affiliate links (many call cloaking or redirect)
  • One click publishing to your web hosting plan

These are just a few of the benefits of this program, for more information see the Xsitepro review.

Wordpress (software free)

This is free blogging software. You can create a free blog using wordpress software or buy a web hosting plan and register a domain name and install onto your domain.

Wordpress.com (free)

You can create your own blog and use wordpress.com to host it (called 3rd party hosting). Your blogs name would be nameofyourblog.wordpress.com

There are many themes you can choose from when you set up an account, but you can not use plugins (Google Adsense, SEO Pack etc) with this free hosting.

If you use wordpress.com to create a blog, you can not use any affiliate links, google adsense or any other methods to make money online.

The search engines love wordpress (free) blogs and many times will index quickly, but just as quickly if they feel you are spamming they will shut your blog down.

If you are looking to get into affiliate marketing or any of the other ways to make money online, the free wordpress. com is not for you.

Wordpress.org (needs web hosting)

This is the same software that the .com has but you need to purchase web hosting. Many of the web hosting companies now have a quick installation of blogging scripts.

If you are looking to get into affiliate marketing and don’t want to take the time to create a website, this software is very easy to use. This blog is hosted at GoDaddy and a basic package of web hosting and a domain name can be found for about $50 a year.

By using your own web hosting, you have complete control of the look of your blog. There are hundreds of plugins that you can upload to your hosting and some of the plugins available for you to use are for templates to change the look and layout of your blog, Google Adsense, Google Sitemap, make your blog search engine optimized and much more.

If you are on a tight budget, for around $50 a year you can get a domain name and web hosting to start your own online business at home.

Site Build It! ($299. a year)

This website builder is more than just a program to create a website. Sitesell, the company that owns this product have everything you need in this one package to help you build a website that works.

If you are a beginner and do not have the technical background for building a web site, SBI teaches you everything you need to know AND explains everything in simple language to help you learn.

Here are just a few things that are included for the price:

  • Helps you find your website niche
  • You domain registration
  • Web hosting
  • A keyword and marketing research tool (called Brainstorm It!)
  • Step-by-step tutorial (called Site Build It action guide) written orĀ  video to help you learn
  • A forum to help you if you get stuck on any part
  • A block-by-block web site page builder
  • Analyzes each page you create for search engine optimization and tells you what is wrong so you can fix it
  • Once a page has been created automatically tells the major search engines of your new page (or web site if you just created your home page

There is much more to Site Build It than meets the eye. There is not any other program on the internet that can even compare to what Site Build It! can do for you.

I am using this product and here is a Site Build It Review so you can see for yourself that Site Build It is not a scam and they really do back what they say; “Help you create a website that works.”

    That is the reason I wanted to post the differences of Wordpress as many people did not understand HOW they were so different.

    There are still many authors of Wordpress.com blogs that are using affiliate links in their posts just to make that quick buck.

    If you are looking for a long term money making project and want to be able to use Google Adsense, other advertising, affiliate links then by all means get your own hosting, your own domain and use the WORKPRESS.ORG software.

    In doing this, you will not have to worry about “big brother” looking over your shoulder and possibly shutting down your blog.
