Xsite Pro - is it worth the cost?

08 Dec 09 8:40 am

Hey Curtis, first of all, good on you for asking questions, it shows that you are doing your due dilligence. Now is XsitePro worth the $197.00 I would say absolutely...

Let me tell you my little story about Xsitepro. I bought it a few months back and like many other programs or software I've tried it for a while and put it on the shelve for a while and kept using other products and/or trying to find the next big easy and quick way to make money online. After maybe 2 months I realized that I was only loosing money, time and energy so I decided to WAKE UP and started to work and learn how to become an internet marketer. I am still learning as there is always stuff to learn but I made a huge step since when I first started.

I then came back to XsitePro and WOW this program is really solid. I really love it and I think that it is one of the best tool out there. It is really helping me put nice little nice websites together in a timely and easy fashion. A lot of internet marketers are using it so if you get stuck somewhere, you will find the help that you need in forums, the XsitePro Q&A and just by googleling what ever you are looking on doing with the program.

Do not buy anything else if you are just starting my friend, Xsitepro is the way to go.

p.s. if you are looking for a discount link, my guess is that you will most likely not find one as I did search a long time for such a link. What I would suggest you to do is to look for whomever is going to give you bonuses if you buy with their links. Look for bonuses that makes sense to you and that you could use at a later date.

I would send you my link but I don't have any bonuses for now.

Anyways buddy take care and welcome in the Afilorama family.

Good success

p.s. if you have any questions feel free to pm me.

XSP is one of the best tools out there IMHO.
Here are a couple of sites done using XSP:
http://www.wowstrategybook.com
- this is something I created to be an authority site
- published in May 2009
- now PR2

http://www.goldguidesreviews.com
- this one is a PPC landing page
- currently used in my small campaign

PS 2 of the sites in my sig were also done using XSP.

Thanks for all your comments and suggestions. I bought the software last night! oooh raw for me!! I am ready to go but have ask mark a question by pm and wating for answer before I proceed. By the way where can I get a template for my idea site..its in the wow niche. I have about 30 keywords already with most of them 4 star rating.

I still have to do some more research because this is new for me. I don't know what leveling guides are but this is what I am going after.

Thanks for the site examples. The really look nice.

I think your question is easily answered when you frame it around this statement:

I am looking for the tools I need to test and prove that a niche is worth the time and expense of paying someone else to develop the sites and even the copy.

Dreamweaver has a large learning curve. Xsitepro does not. If you all you want the tool to do is to get a site up to test a niche, then Xsitepro can do that much quicker. The investment in the software is less, too. Seems to me the decision should be pretty simple given the objective.

I started with Xsite Pro but if I could start over I'll learn wordpress cause it's free and is easier to maintain and it ranks better in the SERP. Do a search for competitive buying keywords like fat loss 4 idiots, burn the fat feed the muscle and the top sites are blogs and the bottom one are stand alone sites like Xsite pro.

Guitarjoe,

I agree with you that Wordpress sites get indexed and ranked fast. Google simply loves wordpress. The google sniper method takes advantage of this fact. I've heard that a lot of google sniper sites are on the 1st page of google for decent traffic keyword even without backlinks. And that most of these sites are within the Top 5. These sites have domains with the keyword in it and probably helps the site to get ranked highly. If you take an XSP site with a domain with keywords in it, publish it and leave it without backlinks it will never rank on the 1st page of google just like how wordpress sites do.

Having said that, there is still an advantage that the XSP sites have over wordpress sites. If you build a lot of sites you will not need to upgrade anything on those sites you built with XSP (anyone who knows otherwise please correct me here).

As for your comment "Plugins for just about anything under the sun and more! Most of them are free!" Yes that is true and those plugins are mostly free. However, Wordpress sites will need to be updated every time a new version is released. This includes updating the plugin versions. If they don't have any updates then the older version may render it useless or worse vulnerable to hacking.

If you have hundred sites published already, do you really have time to update all of them to the newer WP version even if it takes a few minutes? Just thinking about the number of sites you need to update can already be overwhelming. But then again, you can always outsource these stuff! So I guess it really boils down to personal preference.

Going back to the question "Xsite Pro - is it worth the cost?" - The answer is YES.

To be completely honest, I personally prefer XsitePro. I've used it for so long that much of it has become second nature to me.

Also, to be completely honest, I can't stand Wordpress! You wouldn't know it from my previous post, but it's true. The ONLY reasons I've started switching over to it is for the SEO benefits I listed before. I don't like change! There's already so much to learn as an affiliate and having to change everything I've learned over the past few years just sucks! However, it makes sense to do so.

As far as constantly having to update Wordpress blogs, I understand that, but you can get a plugin that automatically does updates to the latest version of Wordpress for you. Rosalind Gardner just recommended it recently, as a matter of fact. I just installed it on my newer blogs last week. Here's the link for that article below.

Also, can't you buy themes that update everything automatically? Thesis comes to mind. I think James Schramko mentioned it. Anyone else familiar with it?

Hey, if someone can show me I'm wrong I'd prefer to just use XsitePro. Even Mark mentioned in his recent webinar that he uses Wordpress or Drupal now to build his sites.
