Article Site Builder
IMPORTANT NOTE: Lots of visitors to this page looking for a product called "Article Site Builder" - this is a seperate but similar product to mine. Mine is called SEO SmArticle Composer.
Please do not email me regarding `Article Site Builder` - I don't own it, have never used it and offer no support for it.
You can purchase a personal license for SmArticle by contacting me directly - details are on my About Me page. I'll even throw in a bonus worth well over $100.
Ok, so if you follow my blog you'll have learned about my lates AIS product, which is a atool to create article based sites quickly. I JV'd with the owners of Keyword Avalanche who agreed to sell it and we'd split the proceeds. This was my first time JV'ing so was not aware of all the in's and out's.
It's worked out OK. Because the product is only for sale to Keyword Avalanche Members it has probably sold much less than it could have. I think after the next update is complete it may go mainstream public at a significantly higher price, which means my portion of the cake will also be that much bigger.
Hopefully, I shold learn tomorrow exactly how many of the product was sold during May - I'm estimating quite a few were sold based on the questions being asked and the number of views of the threads about it in the Keyword Avalanche Forum…
Though there are other site building programs available, I've not seen any others which are quite so simple, and yet so effective. Here's a comment from someone who knows their stuff in Internet Marketing:
that template, site structure you created is just about one of the most brilliant pieces of anything ive seen related to adsense marketing
Which is rather a nice comment! Here's another:
the template/site this tool creates is an endless loop cycle where the visitor, no matter what subpage he/she clicks on will create a cycle of constantly being exposed to Adsense ads one way or another
Though it is hard to visualise this, what I've created is the ultimate site theme. I based this on my own template creation experiences over the past 4 years, the adsense heat map and months of testing, tweaking and testing some more.
Of course, there is always the odd dissenting voice, particularly from people who always seem to have the glass half-empty outlook. Someone nicely posted something like "what's the fuss all about blah blah, I can get better tools, blah blah" and mentioned two tools… I pointed out that the price is 25% of one of the tools and that the other tool he mentioned is now not for sale! This person then deleted their whole post - what a joke.
Well, here's some more nice comments which I found, from three different people and all unsolicited:
I grabbed this last night and put up 12 sites in less than an hour. I didn't customize everything I should have, just wanted to work it through its paces. All I can say is Whoooa!! I will re-work them this AM and will officially push them up this morning.
Anyway, for those non tech heads out there, I have to say that my first site took about half an hour. Mostly because I had to work my way through all the changes in the config file, nutting out which ones I needed to change and what to change them too. Still, I got there in the end! Kept notes all along the way, of course.
My second site? 6 minutes. Yep, 6 mins for a 16 page content site. I'm impressed!
I AM impressed with this tool. I did NO modificiations, other than to the config file, and had the site online within 3 minutes with links pointing to it from other sites and blogs within 10 minutes. CTR for this little site is, well, unbeliveable. In fact, this little site has earned slightly over $8 already JUST from some links I've placed to it on a couple RSSG portals on the same topic….

Sounds good Burt. Is it just a layout/site building tool or does it find the content/articles too? Sorry if you've explained this previously.
Incidentally, were you aware that everytime you use a quote in a post, the margin on the rest of the post goes slightly out, meaning that the first couple of letters are chopped off each line?

It's just a layout maker…but the layout is a bit "special".
Cheers for the heads-up on the quoting problem, should be fixed now?

Yep it's working fine now, cheers.
Will there be a special offer price for blog readers Gary, since I don't have a KWA membership?
And when do we get to see the sales letter page?

Tom, pricing of the tool is not down to me I'm afraid…
I suspect that when it does go public it'll be nearer the other tools on the market (around $197 is likely)…
If you are really keen on it, the most cost effective way to get the tool is to join the KA forum and buy from there (total cost $114)…
I guess if you go in to KA via my aff link, I can pay you back the aff commission I get? Brings the cost to you down by another $28.50. Email me if this is of interest.
Cheers.

Is it a desktop application or server script?

It is a desktop tool.
