Posted By: Kim In Response To: Re: My Opinion Of SBI -- And An Idea (Theresa)
Thursday, 5 May 2005, at 4:42 a.m.
Theresa,
I had originally purchased an SBI site that I was going to use for a niche site that I was considering. I actually cancelled it because I decided to go in a different direction - not because of a problem with the system.
Just wanted to mentiona couple of things. SBI does not recommend moving an already established web site to their product - really not designed for that. The nice part about SBI is that if you do not have a lot of knowledge to start up and the system is designed with seo principles "built in" so to speak so that the sites get optimized fairly well if you follow their procedures.
Also, at @299 per year it breaks down to a little over $25/month. Yes, you can get web hosting cheaper than that but not necessrily with the items that come with the package. Also, since you mentioned that you weren't sure about learning curve on web site etc, I do think it would be something to seriously consider. Building a web site is only the first step - getting traffic to it is the key and from what I have heard sbi is a good choice for a beginner. Definitely take a look at the manuels - that should help you decide.
Also, you mentioned that you have a large potential customer base from your existing clients - that is a great place to start but I wouldn't want to limit you to just those clients.
Good luck!!
Kim

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
