My 40th Birthday - Marc Liron
June 30, 2008
It was my 40th Birthday at the weekend…
Sarah and were away with many friends from Church as it happened to be our annual weekend away!
Saturday afternoon was spent wandering around the historic town of Whitby. Now as an ex-sailor I know the connection this town has with the famous Captain James Cook. So it was a great treat to be able to sail out to see for a short trip on a “replica” of his ship HMS Endeavour. I also have another connection with Capt. Cook as I have also had the privilidge to vist South Georgia in the South Atlantic, an island that he mapped and claimed for Britain in 1775, and is also the final resting place for British “Artic” explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton…
Also had an opportunity to wander up to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, founded in 657 AD.
Whilst there I came accross an old church graveyard and spotted a gravestone for a sailor that died in 1798 aboard HMS Blenheim, and probably served at the historic Battle of Cape St Vincent, where Lord Nelson was made Rear Admiral.
Stu McLaren’s Blog Gets Infected by Hackers
June 26, 2008
In my previous post “Bandwidth Limit Exceeded” I explained my frustration at being emailed a “not to be missed offer” but then unable to view the site due to the website exceeding its bandwidth!
Well in an attempt to contact the sender of the email, well known Internet Marketer Stu McLaren, I headed straight over to his blog.
http://myideaguy.com/blog/ (DO NOT GO THERE)
BUT I WAS IN FOR A SURPRISE…
A few moments after visiting the section:
http://myideaguy.com/blog/category/products/ (DO NOT GO THERE)
My installation of Kaspersky Security Suite ALERTED me to a TROJAN infection trying to infect my computer!!!
The culprit was: Trojan-Downloader.HTML.Agent.is
…a well known WordPress iFrame exploit, something perhaps Stu should have been alert to as his installation of WordPress is obviously insecure (a quick inspection revealed he is using version 2.3.3 INSTEAD of the latest version 2.5.1). Ignorance in business is no excuse when your customers are at risk 
Drive-by downloads like this are an increasingly common way to infect a computer or steal sensitive information.
They usually consist of malicious programs that automatically install when a potential victim visits a booby-trapped website like Stu’s currently is.
Increasingly, criminals are using these drive-bys to install “keyloggers” that steal login and password information. Other pieces of malicious code hijack a computer turning it into a “bot”, a remotely controlled computer that can be controlled remotely without the owners knowledge.
Grim, I know but a reality on the Internet today.
The moral here is: If you have a WordPress blog SECURE it. If you are using the Internet make sure you have protection!
As for Stu McLaren’s blog… I have no idea how many of his website visitors have been infected but I guess I will not be going back there for a while…

Bandwidth Limit Exceeded
June 26, 2008
Just received a “promotional email” from Internet Marketers Russell Brunson & Stu McLaren.
I have purchased a $1,500 USD course from them in the past and so I trust them.
However the email was a little on the hype side that you see so often these days…
It started out like this:
———————————————-
Dear Marc,
The “word” is spreading… unbelievably fast.
It’s all thanks to a powerful traffic tool.
Facebook’s growth is almost entirely thanks to this process.
Our good friend Jermaine Griggs used a
similar technique and built an enormous piano community of over 200,000 people.
Mike Filsaime used this exact tool with his recent product launch and had over 150,000 invites go out…
…within the FIRST WEEK!
http://www.myideaguy.net/e/viralinviter
Click the link above and you’ll see a
complete video of how it works plus a whole bunch of screen shots.
(snipped here.)
———————————————-
When I first clicked the link it took ages for the page to start to show and then just “hung” and stayed like this for 5 mins…
To my horror when I click the link AGAIN in frustration I get a page with a “509 Error”
…and the following message:
Bandwidth Limit Exceeded
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later.
Bandwidth Limit Exceeded????
How, in today’s world of cheap bandwidth, can this happen to ANY online marketer?
Was this some low cost hosting account???
In an instant ALL credibility was LOST. “poof” …GONE!
Fortunately this will not occur on any SiteBuildIt website due to the world class hosting arrangement they have in place and the “no limit” bandwidth facility for each small business website hosted with them!

Reading SEO Forums is Bad for Your Financial Health
June 24, 2008
Reading SEO forums/blogs/sites is generally bad for your financial health.
Why?
1) It can distract you down the wrong road of “SEO-techie” non-common-sense and rumour.
2) You could be spending YOUR time instead on creating more content!
And remember…
We DO follow them all. But that’s OUR job. So YOU don’t have to. If it’s important, you’ll read about it here in the Site Build It forums.
Sometimes, such as when we created the Sitemaps file-builder (seems like forever ago already!), you even have the tool before the SEO forums have figured it out!
———————————————-
The above is the response, SiteBuildIt creator/owner Dr. Ken Evoy, posted recently in the private Site Build It forums when someone posted the question:
“I’ve been seeing a LOT of SEO information lately that link exchanging is now totally worthless…. Anyone have a comment on this?”
Ken’s reply is so worth following.
Let SiteSell research any new changes in marketing online and let Site Build It users concentrate on building their online businesses.
…advice that has allowed me to build a 6 figure business online

Site Build It Testimonials
June 22, 2008
Site Build It has changed the lives of so MANY individuals that I lose count following the case studies!
Here are just a few of the testimonials of others using SiteBuildIt with great success, and links to discover more about each of their stories/lives:
The Information Publisher:
“Tamar and I did lots and lots of research on kid birthday parties and started experimenting with our ideas on kids and during parties whenever the opportunity arose. We wrote up lots of content for the site and I was in charge of strategy and building the site from a technical aspect (although, with Site Build It!, you really don’t need any technical knowledge because you can build a site through simple building blocks and monitor every aspect of traffic through a consolidated control center.). In no time, both of us became kid birthday junkies.”
Elad Shippony - coolest-parties.com
http://case-studies.sitesell.com/pdf.html#INFOPRENEUR
The Work At Home Mom - WAHM :
“I feel so fortunate to be a part of it and I suppose I’d be considered “one of the lucky ones,” living the best of both worlds… at home to raise my kids, giving them the gift of always being there for them, while running a successful business at the same time. Passion, freedom and fulfillment… does it get any better?!”
Michelle Schill - style-hair-magazine.com
http://case-studies.sitesell.com/pdf.html#WAHM
The E-goods Creators and Seller:
“So there I was half way around the world hanging out with my daughter on vacation and all of my websites kept percolating away on automatic pilot…. Then when I got home two weeks later the mailbox was full of checks from my various writing related income streams! If only such a business model had been available 20 years ago! I would have dropped that mind-numbing paycheck-to-paycheck government career a lot sooner than I did.”
Shaun Fawcett WritingHelp-Central
http://case-studies.sitesell.com/pdf.html#E-GOODS
The Traveller:
“Ken Evoy truly writes in a way that makes you feel as if he is right by your side guiding you through the entire process. SBI!’s Action Guide is written in very simple language, none of that fancy web or HTML terminology, just simplified instructions which I call “dummy terms” (I needed that)… When you join SiteBuildIt!, it is like having your own board of professional consultants that stay up to date in this confusing and ever changing online world. That way you can concentrate on building a successful website and get back to your real life.”
Luisa Cupeles - viequestravelguide.com
http://case-studies.sitesell.com/pdf.html#TRAVEL
The Physical Goods Seller:
“I took my time with the brainstorming, eliminating several ideas. After working through the Action Guide, with several ideas, the idea of a juggling site became obvious. My favorite hobby, juggling, was a niche that I knew! And the e-com ideas kept coming, the e-books and other e-commerce ideas. I now sell so many different juggling products, and even have my two e-books ready to go soon.”
Jim Nelson JuggleNow and ParrotsNow
http://case-studies.sitesell.com/pdf.html#HARDGOODS
The Lead Generator:
“The process is just so logical… Content - Traffic - PREsell - MONETIZE. Starting with content (after all, that’s what people search for, so that’s where we begin, too). Right from the start, SBI showed us how to brainstorm our idea to find out if it was valid. It helped us choose and register our site name. Then it supplied the tools to create a content rich themed site, which the search engines love.”
Fiona McCardle/Jim Andrew - Rent a Villa in Tuscany
http://case-studies.sitesell.com/pdf.html#LEADGEN
“SBI! helped us to build the business that made this opportunity possible, but we also realized SBI! had given us something more than the potential financial gain of selling the business. SBI! has given us freedom. We have total control of our business (and daily lives) and the merging of our business would mean giving away some of that freedom.”
Jerry Mack - Sonomahealth
http://case-studies.sitesell.com/pdf.html#LEADS
The Affiliate:
“Building a web site with Site Build It! is ridiculously easy. Site Build It! takes care everything and lets you focus on great content to make your site sell. Trust me, writing good content is a big enough job without all the added hassles of worrying about technical issues on the Internet.”
Allan Gardyne - Rupert’s SBI! Experiment
http://case-studies.sitesell.com/pdf.html#AFFILIATES
The Service Business:
“The earnings from my SBI website, and online activities resulting from it, now pay our mortgage and both children’s school fees.”
Nick Stubbs - All-Things-Photography
http://case-studies.sitesell.com/pdf.html#SERVICES
“We are the proof that SBI! has no boundaries, as the Internet itself, and it has the potential to win the new markets, as the good and successful product. Big companies who are not happy with their results from the World Wide Web, should buy SBI! and give it to the smartest young person (not a tech or designer) and watch for the results to come.”
Nadir Burnashev - Chief Economist, Kazkommerts Securities
http://case-studies.sitesell.com/pdf.html#SERVICE
The Network Marketer:
“I treat network marketing like a “real” business. You cannot thrive on a system that requires enrolling only eight customers, all of whom are family and friends. As I watch my traffic, leads, retail sales and enrollments increase, I am convinced that there is no better way to build a network marketing lead generation source that brings in the kind of quality leads you would pay a fortune for anywhere else.”
James Beane - TeaTreeWonders
http://case-studies.sitesell.com/pdf.html#MLM
The Webmaster:
“Now “losing” my wife’s $70,000 job is do-able, thanks to SiteBuildIt! By TRUSTING in the process of C.T.P.M. (Content - Traffic - PREsell - Monetize), I have been able to build a growing business as a webmaster.”
Marc Liron - updatexp.com
http://case-studies.sitesell.com/pdf.html#PROS
The Local Business Owner:
“What pleases me most about this is that my SBI Web site keeps getting stronger, delivering more and more free traffic. I know you advise “high ROI” businesses such as ours to supplement the free traffic with PPC. In fact, my wife and I are thinking about discontinuing the PPC marketing altogether, since the natural search is so successful now.”

Proof Of Site Build It Traffic
June 20, 2008
I am often asked for actual PROOF of my traffic statistics.
It seems that some folks really can not believe that a website built with SiteBuildIt can produces so much traffic!
…er, it can and DOES.
And not just for me too, but many other Site Build It users
Of course traffic is not the be all and end all. You must have quality traffic and be able to monetize it. But that’s for another post!
So here below is a screenshot from the stats at www.updatexp.com for you:
(Please note that the Visitors column shows UNIQUE visitors per DAY.)
Not using Site Build It yet? Perhaps you should be?

Enjoying Every Day SiteBuildIt Life
June 11, 2008
Over the last 5 years of using Site Build It, there are some personal traits that I have discovered about me as an individual - that have allowed me to succeed online!
Here in this post I outline four of them that I believe will HELP you succeed online too.
#1 - I’m a Person of Action!
Taking action EVERY day is an important principle I learnt early on in my business.
With our 24 hour TV culture it is all to easy to just end up spending hours in front of the screen watching stuff. Then as you go to bed realise that you have not actually got anything productive done for your business.
Its all too easy, with the Internet, to spend large amounts of time “surfing”… or to become undisciplined with your email and end up checking it on a constant basis, instead of only a few times a day.
Become a person of action and not distraction and you will see your business grow!
#2 - I’m a Decisive Person!
Double mindedness can KILL your dreams and your income.
One principle I have learnt is at the end of each day write down a list a things you need to achieve the next day. Then when you start work the next day DO THEM. It will be tempting to get distracted by new tasks, emails to read etc.
BUT if you really do stick to that list and get it all done (assuming it was realistic) YOU WILL see growth in your business.
#3 - I’m Not a Quitter!
I remember trying to build a business, whilst working full time and being married. It was a tough thing to do with so many pressures of life weighing on me.
But I had to slick at it… and NOT give up just because I had a bad day.
You know feelings can play a big part in how much you get done. There are MANY times
…and please do not think that just because I have built a 6 figure business using SiteBuildit that I can just put my feet up and do nothing!
The Internet is a constantly changing environment…
In addition in becoming successful I have simply traded some life pressures for others
Whatever your level of success just keep moving forward and never QUIT.
#4 - I Have a Responsible Attitude!
As you become successful it is important to have a responsible attitude in business. Here are some things you SHOULD be doing on a constant basis:
Pay your bills on time!
If you can’t afford it don’t purchase it!
Help others! (The private SiteBuildIt forums are a great place for this)
Learn continually!
Invest your time wisely!
Keep commitments!
…the more you take care of your business - the more you’ll care
