Today I called Yahoo Technical Support for small businesses because I was certain I had done something wrong. I kept typing my web address into Yahoo's search engine and was getting nothing. Well, not nothing, a "suggestion" to go to my site and that my domain may not exist.
That left me scratching my head. I had followed the directions and had gone over my work twice. I did find one little forward slash that needed to be inserted. I fixed that. I printed off all my directions for reference. I went to the "help" sections and did that for both the blog host and domain host before I tried typing in any fancy computer lingo. I was flying by the seat of my pants.
So, I talked to this very nice man at Yahoo. He explained to me that I wasn't seeing my site because I was typing the address into Yahoo's "search" instead of it's "browser". He explained how it could take weeks for it to show up in search. He was kind enough to walk me through manually submitting my domain into Yahoo's search engine to make that process a little faster. He typed my web address into his Yahoo browser and it came right up.
I was very flattered because he commented a couple of times on what a very well designed and laid out site it was. That made me feel really good. He sounded genuine. It brought a big smile to my face.
Now, I think I can relax just a bit about all this domain mapping and forwarding. He tells me it looks right.
I'll focus now on building my content, driving visitors there, and investigating appropriate affiliate links.
This is going to be a full time job to build it into my vision, but I absolutely love it. I think I'm on my way. :-)
