Online Stock Trading - Site Build It Reviews List

UPDATE : I have now posted an update to this post about Site Build It Scam ? or not ? and the plethora of Site Build IT review sites that have sprung up like mushrooms recently - see Site Build It

In between investing in stocks and shares and planning our retirement investing we here at online stock trading have been watching the strange goings-on in the blogosphere concerning a website development system called Site Build It! and whether it is a scam or not.

Site Build It! is a system for setting up a website which purportedly helps people make money online. In these difficult economic times there are lots of people who know very little about website development but who are being forced to consider all alternatives when it comes to making some money. Site Build It ! or SBI is designed to allow such people to set up a site with little or no knowledge, so it is very tempting, the problem is, however, that it costs $300 for the system and support and this is not a one time payment - it costs $300 for each site you set up and each year - so if you set up 5 sites you are paying $1500 a year ! Many people find this excessive and even exorbitant. Also why would you need to pay for 'support' each time you buy the system? Surely you got the support the first time you paid for it ? Do you get 5 times more support for 5 systems ?

A lady called Lis looked on the Internet for reviews of Site Build It but all she could find were glowing reports saying how wonderful it was from people who clearly had a vested interest, as they get $75 each time they sell the system through their affiliate link. She thought it was odd that she could not find a single negative comment about Site Build It and she wondered if it might just be a MLM pyramid scheme (what is the difference between a pyramid scheme and a Ponzi scheme ? - see here - What is a Ponzi Scheme ) so wrote a review of the system on her blog -Site Build It Scam Review - in which she called Site Build It a scam, harsh words which did not go unnoticed. She promptly received a reply to her 'review' from the owner of the SBI Dr Ken Evoy, who was not a happy bunny. Susbequently, a whole host of people who had bought Site Build It and did not think it was a scam visited Lis's blog gave their own reviews of Site Build It and left comments about her review and why she should take it down and that she could soon find herself in court etc... etc...

This however led to Lis's online friends riding to her rescue by writing their own reviews of the Site Build It system so they could decide whether it was a scam or not.

The result is that many people found Site Build It to be a scam, but it has to be pointed out that you do get what you pay for, so really it is not a scam, BUT at $300 SBI is seen to be way too expensive for what you get. You can set up your own free blog for free on blogger, or set up a website with a host for $10 a month and with a little freely available knowledge achieve the same results as with the Site Build It system.

The debate has been raging in the blogosphere ! Now, if you type Site Build It Scam or Site Build It review or even Site Build It reviews into Google you can get a whole range of different opinions about Site Build It on which to base your decision. Below is a list of some of sites involved in this Internet blog war ! There are lots more which I haven't included.

So that's it Site Build It is still around but now there are a lot of different opinions about whether SBI is a scam or not. Your best option if you are looking to build an online presence is to start with a free blogger blog fromblogger.com (it's owned by Google) and see how things go - you can always spend $300 on Site Build It later if you absolutely feel the urge to do ! But SBI is way too epensive so really I can't see why you would want eschew Blogger in favour of Site Build It !
