SEO Website Builder v2 Review

Rating: 
SEO Software Overview
This software was created by Dr. Andy Williams-a highly recognized search engine optimization expert. One of the struggles of an online entrepreneur is getting a website within the top rankings of the search engines. While there are many ways to find websites, one of the most popular ways is for a person to search through Yahoo, Google, or MSN. When you search for something, most likely you’ll click on any of the top 10 results. So the big problem for online businesses is creating a website that will be listed within those results with all of the competition that’s out there. SEO Website Builder v2 (SEO WSB) was built to help you get high rankings with the latest strategies in search engine optimization (SEO).
Some Background in Website Building Software
When I started building websites over 13 years ago, everybody wanted to use a software that automated the process…instead of typing in raw HTML code. So WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) software came about and became very popular. I’ve used programs like MS Frontpage and Dreamweaver. Those softwares are pretty good, even now, to build professional grade websites. The problem that I see is that it’s very tough for a newbie to build nice websites with them without being so technical. I know many people that have purchased both of those softwares and build right out of the box. Most of the results that I’ve seen are amateur looking websites that are not optimized for the search engines.
When niche marketing became popular, several website building applications came into the market to help people easily create online businesses. The 2 main types were client-side and server-side. Client-side softwares were the ones that you could run directly from your desktop, while the server-side softwares needed to be installed on a web server.
As you continue to read this review, I will review some differences between the popular website building softwares to give you more perspective on how SEO Website Builder v2 could help you or not.
Easily Creating Websites Without Any HTML Experience
One of the advantages of SEO Website Builder is that you don’t need to know how to program with HTML, PHP, or any web code. So if you’re a newbie, you’ll be able to create niche/affiliate websites with ease. Now don’t get me wrong, there is a learning curve. It’s nothing to sweat about because Dr. Andy has provided several ways to learn the software and how to build an affiliate marketing business. You’ll find a “Quickstart Guide”, a “Building Affiliate Sites” tutorial (over 172 pages), an FTP software guide (which teaches you how to transfer your website content onto your server), and 18 video tutorials, and a 91 page manual. That might seem like a lot, but they’re all easy to read and learn from…nothing too techie.
If you want to start using the software right a way, there is also a “Helper Panel” in the software. Every step that you take with the software has some helpful info that shows up on the side. So if you’re not sure what a certain function is all about, just put your cursor on that function and the Helper Panel will tell you what to do.

If you’ve read a software manual in the past, you might have fallen a sleep or undergone complete boredom:) Don’t despair. The guides that are included are an easy read and quite compelling. Probably the reason I feel this way is because everything that’s mentioned is there to help you build your business. The affiliate guide isn’t just some basic business guide. When I bought my first affiliate marketing guide, I spent $197. Let me tell you…the value that this guide provides exceeds that $197 manual…plus you get the software and the videos. Besides just being a great buy, the information in the training manual and videos do work. They have been the basis for my white hat websites for the last few years and I’ve been happily profiting from them ever since.
An Excellent Collection of Website Positioning Tools
This isn’t some ordinary website building software. With the SEO Website Builder v2, you’ll get access to the latest tools for on-page search engine positioning. I’m not sure if you’ve ever read an SEO book before, but I just want to warn you that most of the books out there are outdated. Search engine positioning has changed a lot…even in past several months. As time goes on, the push is towards natural, high quality sites – websites that don’t appear to be auto-generated by software.
Automatically Find Out What it Takes to Create Thematic Websites
Dr. Andy is a long term thinker and has integrated some of the best tools to help you create quality business websites that will stand the test of time. What I mean by this is a tool set that allows you to create sites that are on theme. One of his latest tools is called the “Keywords to Themes Generator”. With this tool, you can have a list of keywords for your site and then the software pulls in a list of secondaries or variations for that keywords – directly from Google! By creating websites that are highly relevant to a particular theme, the more easy it will be for you to get high rankings in the search engines.
Goodbye Keyword Density…Here Comes Theme Density
One of the traditional approaches for getting high rankings in the search engines is to build a website with a certain keyword density. So if you created a site on “website positioning software”, you would spread a bunch of keywords throughout your articles and website related to website positioning software, tools, strategies…etc. In each article, you would focus on a primary keyword and repeat it several times so that the your page would be seen to be highly relevant to that topic. The search engines have caught onto this and have incorporated technologies like latent semantic indexing (LSI) and other measures to prevent easy manipulation of search engine results. That’s where theme density comes in.
Within SEO Website Builder, you’ll get access to theme reports and maps. So instead of focusing on primary/secondary keyword densities, you’ll be able to easily focus on a broader amount of thematic keywords to boost your pages thematic relevancy. While Google is the main search engine that focuses on this approach to identifying relevant content, the others are following their steps.
Building Websites Quickly

Whether you’re using PLR articles or content from article directories, SEO Website Builder makes it easy to build websites. With the new “Article Harvester”, you’ll be able to pick and grab articles fast from the directories. If you’re using PLR articles, you can pick a folder where all of your text files are located, then the software will automatically import those into your website articles.
The Power of Silos
Even within a theme, you can have various sub-categories or “Silos”. Based off of Charles Heflin’s advice (another popular SEO expert), keeping content in tight silos will enable you to get great search engine rankings. Based on this concept, highly relevant content will be kept in their own groups and not bleeding into others. So if you had a silo containing content related to search engine positioning software, you wouldn’t have content or links related to selling PLR articles in it. With the latest version of SEO WSB, you’ll be able to create silo’s. This is a very powerful feature that you will not easily find in other SEO website building software.
Client-Side vs Server-Side Website Building Software
I’ve tested dozens of softwares and the 2 that I mostly frequently use are SEO Website Builder and a server-side software called WordPress. In fact, this website was created using WordPress. If you’re not familiar with this platform, it’s one of the most popular ones used for blogging. So let me tell you some of the things I’ve run into along the way.
WordPress is a free software and requires installation onto a server. If you’re not so tech savvy, you can use a server installation software like Fantastico to automatically install the software. It’s great if you want to start a blog. However, if you want to start a niche website to promote your own products or affiliate products, there’s a few things that you can run up against. First of all, there’s tons of links that could reduce your sales conversions and reduce your page rank. If you don’t like them, you’ll need to customize it. Most people that I know that are new to online business website building struggle with this. Customizing isn’t easy and can cost you $100-200 per a website to get what you want. Most of this is done to make a blog not look like a blog. If you’re a DIY kind a guy, you can learn more about php and CSS, or you can buy WordPress templating software.
I also want to let you know that you can also increase the risk of your websites getting hacked into with the use of server-side software. In the past several months I’ve had several WordPress sites hacked into because of software security holes. Upgrading WordPress installations is something that you must add to your maintenance schedule (which could be several times a year). This issue doesn’t happen with static websites that are created with SEO Website Builder. Because of my experiences with my websites getting hacked, wasting time on WordPress plugin-hunting:), and spending time on all those security upgrades, I’ve shifted much of my white hat website building into SEO Website Builder.
Don’t get me wrong. WordPress is still a powerful tool that is part of my arsenal. However, most of the ways I use WordPress aren’t for the beginner niche marketer. I’ve tried to express how I use WordPress to a few of my friends that have been building websites for the past few years…and it’s still too complicated or confusing.
Focus and Improve Productivity with SEO Website Builder
With SEO Website Builder v2, you’re able to boost your productivity by being an article creation monster:) After you’ve done your keyword research, you import the keywords into the software and create content based on each of them. By having an organized list of keywords right in front of you, it will be easier to focus and create a site by design…one that will bring in loads of free traffic!
Since it creates static content, there is not MySQL database to deal with. Your content delivery is fast and your visitors won’t get irritated by a slow loading page that you can possibly get through a low performing MySQL database. You also can build your websites with or without the internet. So no concerns about server downtime. Just create your content and go.
Excellent Customer Service
Besides SEO WSB being a great software package, you’ll also get excellent customer support. I’ve been using the software for over 2 years now and Dr. Andy has provided top notch support. In addition to that, you’ll have access to his customer only SEO forum. In addition to getting help with the software, you’ll also get the latest information and guidance for getting your sites to rank high up in the search engines. It has a great user base which includes yours truly:)
Templating Made Easy
The software is based on a template system. This means that you can build hundreds of pages and then change the template with ease. Some website builders have a problem with templates. They’ve created and maintained an old system from MS Frontpage or Dreamweaver and have stuck to the same template for years because changing it would be a huge hassle. With SEO WSB, just pick a template, generate, and you have a website with a whole new design.
Dr. Andy does include some of his templates to help you get started. You can customize them, create custom templates, or buy them. If you choose to buy them, be warned…their not too cheap, especially if you’re building multiple sites. The cost for custom templates can run close to $70 and about half of that if you want to have a new template for the next site.
