WeBuildPages Tools Go Behind Pay Wall

Can't say I blame Jim Boykin for doing it but just the same what I admired about his business was his decision to share openly such cool tools.

Here is what he had to say about the decision to take down the cool tools;

"I was able to get Aaron Wall, Andy Beal, Bill Slawski, Jim Gilbert, Cameron Olthuis, Neil Patel, Shoemoney, Jill Whalen, Christine Churchill, Lee Odeen, and Stuntdubl, and myself, to create training videos for this program. I’ve also decided that most of the We Build Pages Tools should no longer be public, but should be included in the internet marketing ninja program as a free add-on to the program. I also put in a bunch of our private SEO tools into the program as well.

The price is $2995/year. To me, the video training is well worth that investment, as well as the tools are well worth the investment, so together I think it’s a pretty good deal. Yea, many won’t be able to afford the cost, but that will keep the program a bit exclusive."

Must Read Blogger Jim Boykin

There are many search marketing bloggers I consider to be daily "must reads" that include Beal, Odden, Sterling, Sullivan, Baker, Wall and Schwartz, (sounds like a law firm) but one that sticks out is Jim Boykin's Blog.

No one in this space is as transparent. Jim's business website We Build Pages is a virtual gold mine for link and page building information. Jim offers somethings very few do and that is a look at his rates. It's rare to find a business in this industry that lays out the their fees for services. He doesn't treat the subject as a state secret and I appreciate it.
Anyone with a desire to understand link building, page building or blog building should visit Jim Boykin's Blog and get the feed for their reader.
