The GSB Crew approached me a few months ago about this software and asked if I’d beta test it for them. I said sure – nobody can really turn down getting a customized mailing list for their niche. Well I suppose you could but that'd be pretty stupid. I got the software and key, installed it on my Vista box, and was away to the races. I didn't have to install the .NET stuff but that might be because I was already up to date with that through Windows Update. After getting the software installed and licensed, I followed the brief “quick start” document that was provided and had my first site up in a few minutes.
I know enough about HTML and CSS to be able to edit my new site so it didn’t look exactly like the templates included with the Guide Site Builder software. Not everyone will be able to do this, but if they have any sort of knowledge of HTML they shouldn’t have too big of a problem. Actually the more you know, the more you can fine tune the template to whatever you want. But the default ones work well enough that you won't need to worry too much about it. As a landing page, the average internet user isn't going to scoff at it too much. The software let me customize almost every aspect of the site I launched, all I had to do was write a little eBook to give away to my market and then market it any way I wanted (I chose SEO since it was free).
Then, I just sit back and waited to collect email addresses. Over the past couple months that it’s been running, I’ve already collected over 250 legit email addresses that are highly targeted, and in an easy to use CSV I just download from my domain and pop into excel to mail using mail merge or whatever I want. I give this software 8/10, only because I wish there was a little bit more theme customization available from the program and not having to hand edit everything, but that’s a small price to pay.
If I could tell you how to easily market this in a single sentence, it would be "Set up sites to collect email addresses, drive traffic through PPC and/or SEO, and then market rebills to your leads." Basically this thing pumps out landing pages that collect email addresses andsticks them right into a CSV database quickly and efficiently.

I have tested the GSB software on multiple occasions during its development. It’s an easy to install easy to use to tool to quickly create squeeze pages, simple one form email grabbing machines. You can write up a simple Ebook or script as the freebie/giveaway or more easily buy some cheapo PLR Ebooks to quickly create an empire of "guide sites" and in turn a mountain of email addresses.
It’s really easy to get a site, or many sites running using the GSB tool. It takes just a few minutes at the most from start to finished sites. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone struggling with setting up a system that handles the dirty work of email list building.

I’ve been working with the guide site builder for a few months now helping beta test and tweak any of the last bugs out of the software. I myself am not an affiliate marketer but I am close to the industry through my work with GSB on their projects and other work.
What I cannot do is vouch for how well it works with whatever product or service you’re going to be marketing with it because ultimately that would be up to you and your research. What I can vouch for is the integrity of the software and the sites it builds.
I’m a web developer by trade, and have been working with HTML/CSS for years now and I was amazed at how well this program publishes SEO aware sites, with proper css and html validation. This obviously is good for search engines and not to mention “the right way to do things”. It’s not very common to find “site builders” that create standards compliant sites, especially with the amount of options allowed with the guide site builder.
The sites themselves are really streamlined, considering its making use of the Zend framework for security and validation purposes, but has been trimmed down to only a few kilobytes of data instead of the whole framework, that’s a little job in itself and sure makes things easy for continued development. I have been pretty amazed at this software and I’ve recommended it to a few of my clients to help them gather email addresses of potential clients in the local market.
It’s been working really well and saved me the trouble of having to build any sites when all they have to do is press a button.

As the others said, this thing does what it's meant to do, and does so efficiently! Got a customized site setup within 30 minutes, and have no doubts it will be successful in building a super-targeted email list for me. Interface is well laid out.
This thing is so easy, even
could use it.
I will most certainly be putting this bad boy to work again very soon.
