Does anyone ever type a .
net at the end of the website they are searching? Even I keep accidentally putting in .
com I feel like I need to train myself and hope that my new site doesn't accidentally drive traffic to the other one.
So of course there was no traffic going to the new site because I couldn't even find in in any of the search engines.
Apparently it needs to be submitted with sitemaps etc.
How am I supposed to know anything about that? I'm only a hobbyist trying to be somebody that can actually earn some kind of living from my hobby.
So off I go and search Google what I'm supposed to do next.
So the submissions began, of course I accidentally submitted the .
com version.
How stupid am I? Here's me trying to get a .
net visible and even I can't get it right.
Luckily the submission had to be confirmed via e-mail and I quickly deleted it so as not to accidentally submit someone else's website.
I started reading up on sitemaps and my poor brain was fried by then.
Downloads, uploads, codes and all sorts of things to do with robots that convinced me that I had to stop.
Why did I make it so difficult for myself.
Surely I could succeed with simply focusing on the one website and try to boost traffic to it alone.
Not a chance, apparently because I'm still persisting.
I went back to the hosting website to see what could be done only to discover I am unable to add any codes or robots to the simple site that I own.
I would need to pay extra for a service which can support the freedom of such apparent acts of site vandalism.
I haven't had enough success with my website to be able to afford these extra services so I decided I will instead attempt to drive some traffic to it by talking about it through a Facebook page and setting up a link that people can click on without the need to type in any .
com's or .
net's.
After all the things I went through to try to do something I don't know, I end up doing what I did in the first place which was have a second website with an inferior .
net and no real purpose to having it at all.
But, I like the name and I'm sticking with it, who knows I might succeed enough one day to be able to buy the .
com from its original owner, yes that would be nice.
