Sitesell introduces Site Build It! version 2
October 28th, 2009 by John Dilbeck
Normally, I would have jumped on the introduction of Site Build It! Version 2.0 last week, but I was busy with an offline project that had a real deadline I had to meet.
Today is the first time I have the time to talk about this new version of SBI.
Although they finally decided to call it version 2.0, SBI is actually much farther along than that; they’re just recognizing the value of changing the version number to indicate a serious upgrade.
If you’re not an SBI webmaster, you don’t realize that the great folks at Sitesell are always upgrading and improving all that SBI offers. The beauty of this is that it is all done behind the scenes and, unlike upgrading a WordPress blog, it doesn’t require any work on our part.
New features just appear on a regular basis.
Ken Evoy and team recognized this, and with a few major upgrades last week decided to call this SBI version 2.0.
It’s about time.
In addition to all the upgrades to the help files, the Action Guide, SBI tips, and other things that help us keep current and on-track, they introduced a couple of pretty major changes.
Brainstorm It! version 3.1
With this upgrade, the keyword research tool gives us more features and we can add new filters to make our research faster and more efficient.
Within a few hours of finding the upgrade active, I added several new filters and saved them as custom tasks. Now, some of the things I had to do manually after a new brainstorming session are automated and I can click a button and do in a matter of seconds what used to take a significant part of an hour to do.
I’m sure, as I get more experience with what I can do with all the filters, that I’ll get even more efficient with this new version of the tool.
Content 2.0 is now free
I’ve been wanting to add the Content 2.0 features to my SBI sites, but haven’t had the time to do it the way it needs and, therefore, could not justify the additional $99 per year cost of adding the module to my sites.
As of last week, however, that cost is no longer a consideration. Now, I just need to make the time to rebuild some of the pages of my site to use C2.
What is C2? You can learn more about it on the SBI version 2.0 page.
Conclusion
Continually added and updated tools on a regular basis along with a drop in price(!) means that SBI is a better value than it was the last time i raved about it.
Thanks to all the people at Sitesell.
Now, I have a couple of SBI-powered sites that need some work so I can take advantage of the new tools.
Act on your dream!

Hey John, sorry this is so OT. My apologies for being gone so long but my current post describes it a bit. I’m ready now to re-subscribe and get back into your awesome blog! Slowly at first until I get full swing again.

Good evening, Dennis.
I don’t mind an OT comment now and then from a friend who has contributed to the conversations in the past and who will again.
I’m happy to hear that you’re feeling better and I look forward to seeing what you’ll be doing with your new blog and branding.
All the best,
JD
