"Do SBI Webmasters Say Anything
About Your SBI Coach?"

SBI webmasters come in all forms, with all levels of experience.  Those who are coaches often post lists of clients on their sites.  Not me.

Twixt Thee and Me

Everybody asks me. And I always give the same answer.

Question: What sites have you worked on?

Answer: Well, quite a few. But, no, I can't tell you which ones.

Truly, I'm not being evasive. Lots of SBI webmasters do have have lists of recommendations.  I don't.

Let's put it this way: You and I have worked together to find a really cool niche, a bunch of strong keywords, a great approach.

Then I go and post it in this website for everyone to see.

Just what would you think of me then?  What would a "Privacy Policy" be worth?

I have absolutely tremendous respect for my clients. Over the course of time they become friends. And I simply cannot list their sites here for all to see. Their site concepts are confidential. Their keywords are confidential.

And yours will be too.

I just don't talk about my clients' sites. But ...

A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS

Pictures are almost all from the
"Tortoise Contest" in the SBI Fourms
(see credits below)

Torti, i.e. SBI webmasters, are just wonderful folk. I am very pleased that several of them have been kind enough to say nice things about me in the Forums. This is pretty public information, so I feel comfortable sharing some of it with you.

From Ken Evoy, our fearless Founder:

See the post here

Mary Ann,

Sheer brilliance!

To anyone reading this post, please read the first two posts at the top of this page. Mary Ann's reply is more than just turning lemons into lemonade, and very creatively I must add (which itself is a tremendous lesson)!

It's a post about attitude. It is totally natural for Joanna to respond the way she did. It's infuriating to see low-lifes copy your brainpower. Bit then...

 ... and another kind comment from Ken:

MaryAnn,

Spot on answer at...

http://forums.sitesell.com/viewtopic.php?p=218435#218435

That's exactly what I was getting at when I said the answer is under your nose to Thomas. There are some other excellent answers here (ex., Gehri's info complements nicely too).

But MaryAnn hit the bulls-eye. The point of the exercise...

It can be hard to see what is under your nose without a mirror.

All the best,
Ken

From SBI webmasters, torti of all sorts, newbies and oldies:

I needed some help with my first site and found a great coach to help me. So, with help from my SBI coach, I have a major goal. To build 106 pages on great keywords that she found!

from Anni at Today's Women and Health

Thanks for answering my question. I was literally stuck for days not knowing what to do. This makes me much more confident.
Thanks again.

Thanks MaryAnn - some very appropriate words for me there!

Richard (from Lincoln at no domain yet)

Thanks a lot! Its a godsend just to know that it is possible. That way I'm not just spinning my wheels!

I'll let you know if I am successful at it!

Duane from Best Choice Wheelchairs bestchoicewheelchairs.com

Thanks MaryAnn
It works just fine. I appreciate your help.

Roger From High Success Sales Training

That's pretty sweet! Thanks SBI Coach.

You are a really good coach and I appreciate you help.

...and more SBI webmasters speak out ...

Thanks for the help on deciding which theme to pursue.

I like your idea.

Having this forum available is great. When you try to talk to someone about what you are doing it becomes very difficult to explain. Therefore especially difficult to get any good feedback.

Tks again.

Paula

Thanks for the succinct explanation of what I am doing with the key words. I am trying to get through days 2 and 3 and this greatly helps me understand. I wish it was stated so clearly in the guides I am stumbling through.

My advice to Julien,

Your hunch is right. You will be lucky to rank well sometime in your lifetime with a Supply of hundreds of thousands or millions FOR THAT KEYWORD.

But you don't need that keyword to have a successful web site.

How are your T2 and T3 keywords? Is the Supply low enough there so you can rank well? Can you find 50-100 strong "low hanging fruit" to get your site started?

If so, you probably do have a strong concept. It doesn't hurt to have a difficult primary keyword. At some point down the road (actually several years, not several lifetimes), you will start ranking. And when you do, the traffic generation will be substantial.

Best,
MaryAnn


And Julien replied:

Thanks, that's some great advice
