Big Media & SBI

The media is the toughest audience there is. No one scrutinizes the facts more closely than the media. Bombarded by press releases that they ignore (unless your name is Bill Gates), it's near-impossible for the "average" person to get media coverage.

SBI! owners do...

Why are so many SBI! sites publicized by the media?

Top 1-3% Traffic Building Results

1,000 randomly selected Site Build It! ("SBI!") sites were recently studied. At the time, there were over 56 million sites on the Web (the total number of sites is now already over 100 million!).

All statistics are according to Netcraft.com, a leading Net demographic firm, and according to Alexa.com, the leading traffic-measurement company. Netcraft tracks the Web hosting industry. Alexa is owned by Amazon.com and is powered by Microsoft Windows Live -- it measures traffic-popularity based on 10 million surfers.

Summary of Results

35% of SBI! sites ranked in the top 1%
of all sites (i.e., higher than 99% of all
sites on the Web).
53% were in the top 2%.
62% scored in the top 3%.

Each time this study is conducted, SBI! owners perform better and better. They rank higher against other sites despite the increased "competition" from far more Web sites. Today, the "Top 1%" requires a ranking of better than 1,000,000. A greater percentage than ever of SBI! sites make it into the Top 1%.

As the years go by, as the Web becomes more and more competitive, as the number of sites grows (now over 100 million!), the natural and powerful process-and-tools of SBI! gets stronger.

Once journalists find a site, C T P M takes over. The results? Here are just a few...

Taking Your Home With You

Matt Gross, the Frugal Traveler of the New York Times, interviews SBIers Randy Sturrock and Marianne Edwards (frugal-rv-travel.com) about their impromptu, affordable, RV traveling experiences.

It all began last week when Matt who writes a weekly travel column called "The Frugal Traveler" contacted me to request an interview. He had found me through my SBI website, of course and interviewed me by phone on Thursday.

I knew I wanted to stop and write this quick note to say...Thank you, SiteSell and thank you SBI! I am riding high on cloud nine and intend to keep the momentum going.

USA Today Taps Horror Film Knowledge

Tim Smight gets into the Halloween spirit by asking SBI! owner Don Sumner (www.best-horror-movies.com) to list his favorite scary film locations. His site had established him as the expert.

ABC News picked up the story, listing "10 great places to act out a scary movie scene," according to Sumner.

Sumner now has a book deal, thanks to all the publicity.

"In October I was sought out, via my SBI! site, to be the horror movie expert for a feature in USA Today. Green Bay Press and ABC News picked up the story, too. As a result of the publicity, Kraus Publishing approached me about writing a book about horror movies. I'm giddy about the deal.

Just goes to show you, get your passion out there with a site that works, and the sky is the limit! It is truly remarkable and unbelievable what SBI has enabled. Thanks to SiteSell!
