Xsitepro Business Directory Template Indexed Overnight

Here's a followup on the new site The Best of Mchenry I set up on July 18th, 2009.

I'm working on an Xsitepro Business Directory Template and set up an example on a new domain at www.BestofMchenry.com, unfortunatly I had one of my attacks and ended up in the hospital on the 19th, 20th and 21st so today July 22, 2009 is the first time I had a chance to check out the whether or not the site was indexed.

As you can see from the screen shot Google indexed 10 of the new sites pages in 3 days. I wish I could have checked on the second day because I've been able to get new sites indexed in google within 24 hours and I suspect this has been indexed under 24 hours according to my web logs. That's pretty exciting!

I constantly read about people not getting any traffic or not being able to index their sites....Xsitepro owners included. Xsitepro has some pretty awesome tools that allow you to get your sites in the search engines quickly and I'll give you a quick run down of what I did.

First I created the site from the Xsitepro Business Directory Template and added a couple of business listings by creating some pages. Then I created an XML file for the site from within Xsitepro, this is bestofmchenry rss feed. Next I created a Google Sitemap from within Xsitepro.

I submitted the google sitemap to Google and I submitted the RSS feed to some rss directories.

The only other thing I did was to link back to www.BestOfMchenry.com from this site and from new blogger blog. That's all I did and at least 10 pages have been indexed....pretty cool huh!

Now, the next thing to do is to start submitting some articles and press releases for keywords I want my clients pages to rank for. I'll try to document my progress, I'm limited because of health reasons but hopefully I'll get a few more clients and get this local business directory ramped up!

Here's the screen shot of the pages indexed by Google.

Local Business Directory with Xsitepro

Xsitepro is the perfect website development software to use when developing a Local Business Directory. Portal sites for local businesses are rapidly becoming popular but they either look like a first grader put it together or it's a very complicated wordpress or joomla template.


Xsitepro with it's template driven websites makes it really easy to build and maintain a local business directory like this one: Mchenry Local Business Directory.

I've been working on this xsitepro local business template for offline marketing and it's almost done, you can find further information and sign up for a notification list with discount at Xsitepro Local Business Directory.

've been working on a Xsitepro Offline Marketing Template that is a little more complex than the standard Xsitepro Template.

This template is designed to be used by the offline marketer to go from city to city or town to town with the intent of advertising and marketing local business operations....driving traffic to their websites, advertising their business through appropiate keywords and marketing their businesses by offering list building through optin forms.

The Xsitepro Offline Marketing Template is designed to provide a multitude of monetization models. Across the top are 3 ads with images. These appear on each page and can be sold for $100 plus per month. The ads can be stationary or rotating.

Below the 3 ads across the top is a xsitepro's dynamic menu. I'm working out a few kinks but it should serve perfectly as an easy method of navigation.

The main panel is configured with a premium advertising space. The premium ad could start at $200 plus a month, of course it depends on the traffic you're getting. The space would feature an image along with an advertising message which would contain a link back to the advertiser's site.

I haven't really developed the left navigation colum yet. I'm not sure I like the scrap paper look....but we'll have to see how it works out. The nav colum could feature more ads or banner space to advertise along with providing some standard nav links. A rotating banner space could work out well....something like special of the day or week. Again, this feature would be sold as an add on.

I think one of the most interesting features is the premium advertising page here's an example xxxxxxxxxx. Many small businesses don't have a web presence, they do not have any type of web page and the thought of getting online scares the crap out of them. The Premium Advertising Page is basically a single one page website they can have. It includes their basica information along with an advertising message and a few images. Most importantly this page can be used to get them on Google Local. I have a few things to do on this page yet, but take a look and see how you might use this page.

There's more but this will give you an idea of what Xsitepro Offline Marketing Template will offer. All pages will come with basic templates that you simply copy and paste. Of course Xsitepro's full compliment of features will be able to be used on the entire site. This will give you, the offline marketer, tremendous flexibility and power.

I have to say the income potential with this type of template is unlimited. You are limited only to your imagination and ambition. You won't get rich over night sending out a few emails....but if you approach this as a real business, get on the phone, knock on doors and figure out how to set up a local business directory in your own neighborhood, town or city.....you can then take this worldwide.
