XSitePro 2

XSitePro, my personal pick for “MVP,” (Most Valuable Program) has been recently upgraded and is now far better than before! If you have been reading anything I’ve written for a while now, you most likely know that I’ve made the bulk of my money with AdSense farming. (Virtual Real Estate) Yes, I’ve made some money with Surefire Success, this blog, and a few other smaller ventures too, but my main income in this lifetime has and will always be from my large group of 390+ AdSense-enabled informational websites that I have made with unique content, spread over about 100 different niche markets.

All in all, I have about 15,000 pages of unique content cast out among the web right now, all earning me steady income from AdSense, Kontera, and other monetizers. Having someone else create & run those all for me would be too expensive, as would using a cheap software that isn’t powerful enough to create, keep, categorize, upload, and keep track of them all for me.

In short, it is a LOT of work to run a large Adsense farm. While you’re growing it, there are constant hassles keeping up with the domain registrations, creating all that content, dealing with the changing technology, tweaking the site for SEO purposes, tweaking the monetizers to be more profitable, watching constantly to ensure my server is up and running, and of course, getting incoming links to all that content so Google can send traffic to it.

So is it really worth all this work? -You betcha!

As long as I keep adding those little AdSense boxes to my empire over time, my Adsense income will keep growing. I have discovered this to be an undeniable fact. This has been going on for over 4 years now and my growth has been very constant. In fact, I have seen AT LEAST $1,000 in growth each month for this entire year so far! (And that’s just in AdSense… Kontera is growing too!)

So I feel pretty qualified to write this particular review. In my waking hours, I am more often than not tinkering with or testing my sites to optimize my revenue stream. I steadily test and track and test some more, and I won’t brag but I can say it has been very successful for me.

If I had to attribute this success to just one software program, without hesitation I’ll admit it was XSitePro. XSitePro version 1 has been there with me since 2005 and was an incredibly powerful tool I used to create all these websites in.

I could go on all day long about how it has a pure WYSIWYG interface, does SEO work for each site automatically, and is optimized for AdSense farming right out of the box.

But this review is for XSitePro version 2, which is much MORE powerful and has at least twice as many functions and tools!

The Goodies:

For starters, they have completely re-designed XSitePro version 2 from the database engine up so that it can handle much larger amounts of data and run much faster. This was especially good news for me because I had filled it to the point where I could notice a system slowdown often.

But that’s just the start of it. XSP2 adds all kinds of wizards to the interface that very easily allow you to add RSS feeds, Mobile versions, Audio, Video, templates, scripts, forms, and other kinds of content to your existing sites. And by ‘very easily,’ I mean it’s usually just two clicks away on a right-click menu… It couldn’t be better without using telepathy on you!

They really pulled out all the stops and did a complete overhaul for version 2. If you’ve ever used XSitePro version 1, you’ll appreciate how different and more streamlined version 2 is overall, from the tiniest little detail up to the biggest features… And then there are plenty of new features too…

List of my favorite NEW features in XSitePro 2:

• XML Feed Auto-Generation. Yes, your static, plain-old Html files now get their own RSS feeds that others can subscribe too, and all you have to do is check the right box. (And XSP even Pings the feed aggregators for you automatically too!)

• MOBI Site Auto-Generation. With just one more checkbox, a mobile-phone version of your website is generated for you too… Double the amount of your content in seconds…

• Siloing! XSPv2 can now re-create your menu structure in true Silo form for those who understand the SEO benefits of the Silo theory. -Very powerful SEO Mojo!

• Content-release scheduling. You can add 50 pages into XSP one day and have it upload a few pages to your site each day afterwards (or each week, it’s totally customizable) to show Google that your site’s growth is natural!

• Self-Managing Links Section. A directory of links that other webmasters can use to swap links with yours in, upkept automatically!

• BEAUTIFUL new templates. Hundreds of them, all footprint-free and AWESOME out of the box!

• Retrospective Template adjustments. You can trade out templates for your new sites as often as you like, just like if they were templates on a wordpress blog!

• Graphical & Dynamic Navigation Menus. Now your site menu can be just as snazzy as any other you’ve seen online. -With just a few clicks!

• A Widget Wizard. A great library of helpful javascript applications that can be added to your site instantly. They range from tiny (like your email address being displayed in a way that spammers can’t harvest) up to huge sections of your site. (Such as Image Galleries or dynamic FAQs sections.)

• A TaskBar scheduling agent. Even on days you don’t open XSitePro itself, a handy background application that runs down in your taskbar will keep track of your ongoing submissions for you and give you on-demand publishing reports!

• Advanced Payment integration. Sell things through Paypal or Amazon without ever losing your traffic off site!

• A Huge Image & Clipart library for adding professionalism to any site.

• Instant Social Networking tool links. The fastest way I know to put those little “Share This” widgets into your pages.

• An SEO Analysis Suite. XSPv1 had a simple keyword analysis suite that was handy, but nothing like this… It has to be seen to be believed!

This last feature really can’t be applauded enough. The picture here is a screenshot of how the reports are run in default mode, telling you much more than Google’s Analytics can about your site for SEO purposes. It will be a favorite of yours once you start getting constant traffic.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say, after only 1 week of using XSitePro 2 now, that these new additions and more importantly, the new power under the hood in this version make it TWICE or so more powerful and useful for me than Version 1 was.

That means it will enable me to get twice as many links, and point it to twice as much new content, doing twice the job of SEOing the site for me, and so on. So I’m not talking about making only twice as much money that I used to make… Multiply all those doublelings together and you will see that XSPv2 is going to me a LOT richer just by updating my sites from Version 1 to Version 2 format with all the quick & easy bells and whistles. Perhaps 10 times as much!

One Caveat: If you’re Upgrading from XSitePro version 1…

Version 1’s files have to be converted to Version 2’s file format. The converter is included and is free, but it is a painful step that must be done before you can view your files in XSPv2. It took me 2 days to convert my large chunk of websites from XSPv1’s format to XSPv2.

In fact my old computer couldn’t handle all the power and I literally went out & bought a brand new computer to use XSPv2 on. -It was well worth the purchase and now despite all the extra power that the software requires, I’ve got it running much faster than XSP1 ever did!

Who Exactly would I Recommend XSitePro 2 for?

This is the simple part. ONLY buy XSitePro 2 if you own or plan to build a large number of Website pages. More than a hundred pages, or maybe even 500 pages minimum. (Across any number of domains.)

While XSP would do a great job of making a small website very easily and I know you could get a lot of value from it that way, honestly there are other programs that cost far less for such purposes.

XSitePro 2’s power is in it’s ability to handle & help market large numbers of pages… Automating a huge percentage of your work for you in those ways.

So the bottom line on deciding if XSitePro 2 is for you or not has everything to do with your goals for an online empire. If you still think you can be successful with just a few small sites, or even just one website online, then XSite Pro 2 is not for you. Not Yet. It’s for those people who need help automating large amounts of ‘Empirial’ data, and that’s what it took for me to become successful.

At this task, Nothing else online even comes close. Or I wouldn’t have based my online Empire in it.
