How can a Bolivia website be in the
top 1% of all sites worldwide?!

AboutBlogEzineLinksForumsRSSTwitterContactMessage Board



Thanks to you, BoliviaBella is now the top searched Bolivia website in English. We think our efforts have been rewarded and we THANK YOU for being one of the reasons BoliviaBella has been so well received!

We shot to the top 1% of all websites in the world by our 10th month online.

Just how remote is Bolivia? Suffice it to say that anytime Hollywood needs a synonym for remoteness or the vast unknown they write Bolivia into their scripts. Have you noticed? So how is BoliviaBella now the most searched English website about Bolivia in the world? It's all in the tools I use each day to build this site!

I use SBI (Site Build It!) to build this site and GoSouthExpat.com, a website for expatriates in South America. Find out why SBI is the number one site building tool in the world and how SBI helps people like me lead fulfilling and successful lives, turning what we love into amazing online businesses with websites we own and design ourselves!

It does seem wacky that a Bolivia website (correction: we began as a small Santa Cruz website) could soar to the top 1% of all websites in the world within its FIRST year online, doesn't it? I mean let's face it, "Bolivia" is NOT the world's most searched country. There ARE still people who don't even know where Bolivia is. So how can a website about Bolivia have been so well-received? Maybe I should say,

"So how in the world (literally) did you even find my Bolivia website?"

It's simple. SBI websites continuously rank in the top 1-3% of all websites worldwide and the most amazing thing is, they are nearly all built PERSONALLY by their owners! People like me who know nothing about building websites, much less any idea how to market one to an online audience.

I began to build BoliviaBella in June of 2007 - not so long ago! It's initial ranking was horrible and during my first month online I had 2 (TWO) visitors! Downright embarrasing right? Wrong! It only had ONE PAGE and I hadn't indexed my site with ANY search engine yet. Even so, those 2 people found it. OK that probably doesn't sound too impressive.

How's this: There are over THREE TRILLION web pages on the net.

Now BoliviaBella has tens of thousands of unique visitors per month (unique visitors are first-time visitors) - it actually gets thousands more because Bella has many repeat visitors too! You can verify Bella's rise to glory (he he) at www.alexa.com

I've put up this page in response to the MANY people who've written to let me know they enjoyed and appreciate this site because most of them add "and who designed your site?" The answer is, "I build it". BoliviaBella consists of a single person sitting at a computer, adding page after informative page day after day. I have no employees, no website developers, no professional designer.

I'VE NEVER DONE ANY PAID PUBLICITY
OR SEO (SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION)

Oh. And I'm a mom! I know. I probably should have titled this:

"How to build a website and glue broken dinosaurs at the same time."

If you were just curious, this probably answers your question. But for those of you who truly are interested in getting online yourselves, please read my page on how I made the decision to invest in myself and build my own website (and future) and why I KNOW you can do it too! You CAN!!!.

Build your own website.

Webmasters! GET THE STATS!!!
