I had a read around there, here's some thoughts on it:
It is based on Eli's
SEO Empire post, and Eli commented about it in the
follow-up:
Why Build Up? Why Not Down?
I normally don’t check my Technorati very often but the other day I caught a very interesting one. Someone plans on writing an article similar to my SEO Empire Part 1 except teach people how to build a money site, then build the foundation and basement below it. It’s essentially the same concept except you can jump straight to money sites. Here’s the problem with that. Look at the chart above. That allows me to accomplish the requirements for any new site in a single day. If you build money sites then build downward it would take several days to a week or two worth of work to get what you were needing with every site launch. It kind of defeats the purpose and isn’t practical in the long run. The second point being is the speed at which you’ll be adding new money sites. No point in building a foundation or basement site for the sole reason of promoting a single money site, so every one you build you have to look back through your other money sites and add them in as well to your new foundation and basement site. Management of foundation and basement sites are easy, management of money sites becomes increasingly difficult the larger your empire grows. I’m still looking forward to reading the post though.
The marketing style is very ebooky and it seems to have attracted people from the Warrior Forum, it may have been promoted there.
At present, "30 days.." is misleading as over half of the tutorial isn't yet available.
However, there is a lot of good info there and the tools and scripts appear to be very useful. I had a quick look at one of the site templates and it looked very good, esp for a freebie.
His writing style is great, easy for anyone to follow. Aimed at newcomers, but occasionally assuming prior knowledge that isn't covered in the tutorial series.
Initially I thought it was trying to be like SQUIRT, but it seems both the target audience and the tools provided are different. SQUIRT provides a main tool for quick indexing and a forum that assumes a certain level of knowledge, NSS is aimed more at newcomers with a main long-term promotion tool. Although both based on the same empire-building methods, there doesn't seem to be any overlap in the two services.
NSS is very cheap, in my opinion probably worth it initially for the scripts, and worthwhile continuing depending on how well the promotion tool performs and the tutorial series progresses.
