This comes under the category. What’s easy for one Person… is hard for another!
I need help, I’ve built 120+ sites and many have wound up at the top of the first page with the big 3 SEs {by accident?}. BUT, I cannot get Google to accept any of the Sitemaps – always a crawl error. AND how can a site be at the top of the first search page and ‘Site not indexed. Check the data for this site: http://...’ OK, G says ‘add www.example... I really don’t want to do anything to get kicked OFF Google while experimenting / learning – like adding DNs twice, submitting too many sitemap crawl requests…
I’m 54 years old and not employed, so I’m trying to be self-employed.
Some of you pros are thinking ‘well, this guy need to go back to school!’ LOL, yes I would think this, I understand! I started this a year and a half ago and am totally self taught. I just cannot get this!
As a side note {especially for Newbies}: I started out with 1700 DNs For Sale. Bought thru GoDaddy, listed them with Sedo (thinking Worldwide), put all in Sedo Cash Parking and got $0.06 – 6 cents in 3 months. [Da, what did I expect with a bunch of dogs!] Then I learned and built demo sites to try to ‘get the word out’ that they are For Sale. Then to try to monetize them myself, I added Adsense. What the HECK was I thinking on this whole DARN endeavour! Maybe I’m Stupid and Smart at the same time! I was a BIG craps player, Vegas… always advised ‘if you don’t know all the Rules, don’t play the game’, I went against my own advice!

I now have about 350 DNs – mostly Patriotic / NO porn (yes, passing up a lot of $$$)

I use EasyWeb Pro6 and know the program, I do NOT know HTML. I just bought 3 website from PPC Sites and got 1 to upload using FileZilla and can NOT get the other 2 to work? I need to know how to add Contact Info and Analytics on these and try 20 - 30 more. Good: www.WeAreCountryMusic.com

And YES, I saw the Dnforum Content Rich Websites e-mail of 8-2. I’ll invest another $500 to see if they will produce $$$.

I am tired of spending countless / wasted hours reading and trying! I will pay $66.67 per hour - $200 green cash for 3 hours of your help / training. I’ll bring my computer to your office or house / day or night / weekday or weekend. In Houston Texas, prefer North (I live in The Woodlands) or even in the DFW area.

Right now, I’m working a Whole Marketing package for: www.GoGreenEcoTaxi.com
{Marketing Partnership possibilities in Houston?}

I’m NOT trying to get a bunch of you to hit my sites! But for some background on me.

I’m just a regular guy, short bio at (Escort Senior Travel… another FAILED attempt – project): www.travel62.com/scotts_biography.html

My DN holdings: www.websitenameco.com

My largest site (50 pages): www.unitednationsus.com

My favorite Group: the 4th of July holdings (see above)

I need: 1) A site map Google will accept 2) Enter HTML on the ‘modified Cash Parking’ sites

I will be out of the Country from Tuesday August 11th thru Thursday August 20th. Please contact me before I leave (nights or weekends fine). OR PM or e-mail me ( scottmotex@netscape.com ) and I’ll contact you when I get back.

I do NOT want anything else, I will NOT try to sell you anything. Just a genuine, honest and sincere attempt / request to buy some of your knowledge!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Scott Petersen {the harmless one, I didn't kill Lacy!} 281-217-8626 Can call me… My phone number on this forum?? Anyone can get this number from WhoIS! BAD people, please don’t call – GOOD buying prospects, please call!

Another side note: Stupid? I just took the Insurance Adjuster Catastrophe Texas Insurance Commission test and passed the first time (45% fail first try) – I am a Katrina causality! I’ve told people ‘It’s easier for an Illegal to have a baby or a heart transplant than to get an Insurance License in TEXAS!’

So anyway, everyone / anyone please feel free to reply to this for some of us to learn...

Thanks to many of you with the PMs. To clarify:
A} I just need to be shown (I'll learn to do it) how to create the Sitemap and when it's submitted to GOOGLE, it's accepted - NOT showing and ERROR. Show me on ONE and I'll do all the rest of my sites. I guess my software / program automatically generates:
2009/06/21 07:04 sitemap_a.js
2009/06/21 07:04 sitemap.htm
2009/06/21 07:04 index_g.js
OK, I just submitted the 4thofjulynewyorkcity.com/sitemap_a.js (and NO, .htm does not work either) and got a big ole RED X - error
BUT I JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT, I just Google searched '4th of July New York City' and it comes up #2 on the 1st page!!!!! Maybe I should just be HAPPY!?!!! BUT I'd like to know how I did it!! :)
B} The HTML would be only for the PPC sites created elsewhere (like PPC-Sites, DNforum templates) and like I wrote, I uploaded 1 of 3 and can NOT get the other 2 to go.
What I need is a 'Mentor' in Houston, that I'd be glad to pay!

Scott, Someone has to do this and I will take the brunt. Portfolio owners are very sensitive to their names. So, I will use enough courage to let you know that you don't need a mentor for the names you own. Barring a rare few, your portfolio is extremely bad.

Before you spend time and money on development, you need to completely overhaul your view of domaining by educating yourself on what the marketplace wants, how to clean up your portfolio with better quality names.

One cannot build, unless the foundation is strong.

Please do not feel bad. I felt, I had to say something.

Re: sitemaps, try:
http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/

It will create the file, you download and move to your host. Never had Google problems with these. I use these for my minisites to save time.

If I missed something, I apologize - I just couldn't get through that whole post.

Chris, Rick and folks from all the PMs: I really do appreciate the input!

Chris, I do agree that people who own things are sensitive about what they have because it’s theirs. As with Stock, Real Estate etc, the person who put it together thinks it’s the BEST! Can’t hurt my feelings, I know that my DN portfolio is NOT the best – hey, I’m at 350 down from 1700 – I opened the gate and let a lot of DOGs go! What I have is Patriotic {ArlingtonNationalCemetery.net, SoldiersUS.com…}, Current {BarackObamaDay.com, BHOUS.com, MLKUS.com…}, Holiday {MothersDayUS.com, MemorialDayUS.com…}, Charity {TodaysBobHope.com-Gary Sinise, RideForKidsUS.com…}, Sports {NFLSB.com-Superbowl, MLBWS.com-World Series…}, Travel {JoinTheCruise.com, Travel62.com-Senior…} and some that might have much commercial appeal – {Cell4G.com, NYCNYUS.com, NoFilmCameras.com…}. Also ‘Marketing Packages’ [as explained on www.WebsiteNameCo.com ]like the 4th of July and Cinco de Mayo groups. One along with many frustrations is for $1 on this DNforum I couldn’t sell WorldFoodDayUS.com or UnitedNationsDay.net (because of WPO?), hey – I sold ValentinesDayUS.com for $2!!! Chris, I’m not spending any $$$ on developing, I’ve built the 120 websites all myself. {Chris and anyone, please PM which ones you think are OK, I invite your input - NOT to debate but a great outside opinion}
A Mentor? What I was referring to is like with Big Brother & Big Sister, a person who would ‘help me along’, someone with more Knowledge and Wisdom. Someone that I can ‘go to’ in times of needs, but in my case I would pay them. A Mentor in this case would be a Teacher – even if I am 54 and they 25, I’d admire that – more power to them!

Rick, again thanks for the input. I’ll try that site again… there is something I just don’t get (I am admitting it!), maybe it’s ME uploading it to the host!?!!
Minisites? We know marketing. If ‘assisted cruise travel’ is Googled, 6 out of the 10 on page ONE are mine. 4 are 1 pagers to get them interested and link to the TARGET site.
Yes, it was a very LONG post, I thought I’d try to answer many question in the text.

You know, one reason we post / reply is maybe some else may benefit from the problems and suggested fixes! AND in my case, to demonstrate that the person reading could now know that THEY are NOT the stupidest person on EARTH! J

Thanks again, Scott

your DNholdings site is an absolute eyesore.

It looks so aged, takes so long to load, and does not fit on my monitor - and that's a 24 inch monitor.

Suggest you (and every one) read the book

Don't Make Me Think


It is timeless advice for everyone and anyone looking to communicate online, selling online, or just a basic premise for site design and flow.

Your site has so much going on, so many boxes, so many colors, so many items competing for attention that it ends up being an offense to the eyes and a nuisance.

As for mentor, there are so many great advice sites like WebMonkey, SourceForge, Mashable and so on. They start with basics.

Yes, teach thyself. That is what I did with Joomla and now WordPress. Most members here are more than willing to answer questions, offer advice, tips, etc. Site design is not easy nor is teaching basic design concepts.

Look at sites after site and ads after ads. Decide what you like and dislike about each.

There are many more. I can not recall them all. But all of these sites take you thru steps to achieve a better quality product. One that is more appealing and one that actually brings in visitors and revenue.

You are not the only old fart trying to learn new tricks. :smilewinkgrin:
