Nitro Quattro Review Site Proof

I loaded up a Nitro Quattro Review site yesterday and the site is already ranked first i Google.

The really cool thing is that the XSitePro 2 built site combined with some of the XSP Cheat Sheet techniques is very effective. I hope you are applying the traffic and SEO techniques to your site.

(Nitro Quattro by Matt Gill and Kevin Wilke is really worth looking at if you want to increase your average visitor value by 3 times).

XSitepro 2 has hit town and it is very popular!

Paul Smithson has made a winner with this version of xsitepro, building on the back of the first version. It really has moved the goal posts.

The key changes

This new version has a lot of extra features (that used to have to be added). Many of the items from the first XSP Cheat Sheet are now included as standard such as:

  • Add a form
  • Add a video
  • Add audio
  • RSS
  • proper file naming
  • Better templates
  • Importing new templates over old templates


The new XSP Cheat Sheet2

 

c_400.jpg

     NEW for 2008 XSPCheatSheet2

The XSP Cheat Sheet version 2.0 is well underway with an all new PDF and videos being prepared. I have been making sites for the last week using every part of the new xsitepro2 to the best of my ability to discover the features, and more importantly how you might best search engine optimize a website using them. Release date: anticipated JUNE 2008.

Some of the key focus points for this version 2 are:

  • Simple 'how to use' the software examples
  • Really important modifications to do before you publish
  • Getting the most function from the standard features
  • What goes with XSitePro to make a powerful combo
  • How to extract more profit from your website
  • Using social media
  • Affiliate tactics
  • Direct Sales Tips
  • Plenty of other stuff I have learnt over the last year!

The interesting Silo feature has a new folder structure and the the navigation bars behave very differently when this option is selected. Also the RSS and social bookmarking features will be interesting for many webmasters, but they need to be used correctly.


XSitePro Version 2 Compatibility

I have imported most of my websites into version 2 and have been running it on Vista and XP across three browsers. It is quite stable for a new release and I have been able to publish very large corporate sites and small affiliate landing pages. So far there are a few small "hacks" that I have found to use old CSS templates and also get instant popovers to work better…

Do you have XSitePro2 yet?

Check out my special offer - get  XSPCheatSheet2 FREE (after release) when you buy a FULL version of XSitePro2
(Not applicable to upgrades)
