    I just purchased a domain from Go Daddy and it comes with a site builder feature 'website tonight' I am having a hard time building the site there. I am wondering if theres anyone out there who is using this WT too. Is it good for SEO?

    they are all absolute trash for seo. all of them. use notepad, write your own clean code..

    the generated ones are usually chock full of garbage html, using images instead of text with no alt (grr slicing), etc

    Yeah... The Website Tonight isnt a nice tool for SEO. According to the nature of site you need, you can either Write up some codes your own or either Go for Existing Open Source or Paid CMS systems :)

    Build a blog that looks like a website using an SEO optimised them like Thesis. That's the best thing for SEO if you don't to write your own code

    most of the optimization code wise is systematic work..
    normally platforms are well optimized already, they score high in SEO as long as you fill it with a well done content.
    a modern CMS gives you more time to work with the content which is as important
