Cool Header :)

Thank you Papi! That's where I'm headed...

Cool site! Looks like you are putting a lot of effort into it and it has tons of content. Not really my cup of tea, but I am sure it is very appealing to your niche.

You asked specifically about the new Header: it reminds me rather a gaming site, though.

And, as you don't explain it, I would wonder forever about what the heck is 420 :-)

Two other things on your About page:

1. With my English, I can't understand this sentence, sounds a bit messed up: "So in my totally subjective this how an online urban store should look according to my personal preferences."

Also, combing the text through to correct smaller mistakes like missing commas, periods in the wrong place etc, would improve it.

2. You write "That’s right, this is a blog, so don’t expect me to sell anything to you." - which comes across a little bit strange, because you are clearly selling lots of stuff, even the name of your site is a STORE.

Hi Andrea thank you much. You are absolutely right. The website has evolved so much i could probably remove that sentence. Thank you for pointing out the other line. I will correct it.
As for the 420 it is controversial and rarely defined in an accurate way. I have it as a wink of an eye for those that have their truth about it.

cool.
Yeah, I am not an anointed one, so the 420 will remain a mystery for me :-)

unless you search...

Very cool and great site.

Thank you Tungsten!

G'day mate that is a great site, one question if i may how do you get your so short and then say read more on the end mate. Have a awesome day mate

Thanks fellow Pirate. This is actually part of the theme. It allows for either a static page or full blog or excerpts. And then how many words. Anybody has a tutorial for my man oggy1968?

Thanks matee

The header is great. It has that spaced out look. Ha..ha

All for the greater good :)

Thank you all!

Very nice.

Thanks Ian!

Thank your for your post
Ken

You're welcome Kenny!

Your site is AMAZING! So much content you could get lost in it for a whole day haha! I am so impressed! Also LOVE that you have music too, it is set up perfectly to read about the song/artist and click the videos, very nice. And the header is cool, I like it. Overall, very nice-looks like you have worked hard, hope you are reaping the benefits

Thank you so much Brittany, my number 1 supporter! I am getting close to reaping the benefits, meanwhile, let's work some more ;)

haha! best of luck!

I like it! I live in Colorado, USA. Don't know if you know this, but 420 has a very controversial meaning here.... Just a heads up if you want to know.

Hey David, 420 is one of those taboos. Even I am censoring myself because of the legacy I want to have. Colorado is one of these brave states, just hope they make good use of their legality.

So far so good! It has been a wild ride. Has created a ton of tax revenue though!!!

What's up WA Fam?
Lately I have been thinking of getting my own .com because of all the positive feedback I have received on my website.

I have been working on it for

Congratulations on your buy :)

Thank you Papi! I am up for the challenge, now it's official!

Fantastic job.

So sorry this is late been working the day/night job :). Anyway, what I wanted to mention is that you should backup your site regularly so that if there are any mishaps you can still reload and not lose anything.

Sorry I didn't see your blog sooner :(. Anyway, I am glad everything went well and your site is looking awesome.

Just follow this tutorials:

WA Affiliate Bootcamp - Content, Keywords and Conversions (PHASE 2)

All the best.
Lis.

As always a thousand thanks Lis!

Your welcome.

It seems that most of the comments you are getting are positive.I would also go for it.

i just did!
http://urbanstore420.com

If I were in your shoes I would go for it. Good luck.

Thank Larry. My decision is made. Response is so unanimous :)

You wont loose anything. Go .com, you site is fab and very professional. Now you need to decide if you are going www or just http. Good luck. Olive

Good point Olive. It will be http for sure.

100% NO DOUBT about it, get the domain! Based on the amount of time and work you have already put into the site and the business, you are serious about it. Backup the site using a plug-in like, "Updraft backups," which is free and you can backup to your computer, drop-box, email, etc...or all of them!

Worries about any issues during the transfer are now non-existent because you're covered. Domain is $10 for the whole year. Drop in the bucket and a small investment to make towards something you have already put the effort into building, which is awesome, btw.

Don't think twice about it. Grab your domain and also, 100%, you will not only achieve better search engine rankings, but people will take your site more serious, as a real branded domain. It instantly gives your site more authority and improves your marketing efforts. For $10, it's a no-brainer. All the best and much success to you, man!

I appreciate all your tips and encouragements HoJo007! Imma get on it. The selfless support I get from all you guys is what makes me take the next step everytime. THANK YOU

I know how you feel. No one wants to see all of their hard work disappear. Follow the steps in Kyle's Training:

How to Transfer a SiteRubix Website to Your Own Domain

If at Namecheap you do not get an option to set up the WA DNS address during the purchase process, don't worry, you can always log in to your Namecheap account later and do that separately.

Steve has done training based on the updated Namecheap site:

Setting Up WA Hosting For Your New Namecheap Domain Names

My best tip is to buy the domain name and change the DNS address at Namecheap. Then wait a little while before moving Siterubix to your new domain. As Kyle explains in the video, the reason people get errors is that they expect the DNS address to resolve instantly. If you give it a little time before moving the site in WA, you can prevent that from happening and causing unnecessary worry.

If you hit a snag, don't panic. Put in a WA support ticket and they will sort it out for you. ~Jude

That's my girl! Thanks Jude you rock!

It's the absolutely right decision, you want to build your own brand and business. I would recommend you do it. Wish you the best!

Thank you. How to make sure it does not mess up my website or lose the content? Do you know?

When I did it, I just did it. I didn't have any problems. Some people may have had problems maybe because they were transferring a non-WordPress website. That's the only thing I could think of. I would suggest just backing up your site first and then do the transfer. That way you have your info intact.

Will do that. Thanks a lot!

You made the right move. People don't take a site seriously unless it is an original http://url.com

didn't make the move yet, but am really close to. Thanks for your input TheOldSilly

I don't think it has any influence on the website results however it just looks weird to have a white box.
Is there a way to get it back?
Thanks for your help.

The WP site manager plugin maybe able to fix this if installed. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-sitemanager/

Not sure I know the answer to this others will help I am sure.

If you delete an image from your media file, this can happen.

Mmm sounds familiar thanks lol

I only know this because I did it. LOL :) You learn from your mistakes. LOL

I had. Similar thing happen. No big deal but when I changed themes, the picture in the manager stayed the same as the old theme. What's with that

That would be a question to ask the tech crew. Make out a ticket on it. :)

Hello everyone,

First of all, the feedback I have had on my website from the WA community has helped me so much to give a good look to it and step by step improving my con

Good question hope others can help I don't think I can.

This may answer some of your questions:
Help....I cant find my website. I clicked on the link and Google

thanks a lot!

Not sure how this works

let's see what our fellow WA users say ;)

OK lets keep it real

Tell me which page is supposed to rank for which keyword an di will tell you why it isn't ranking and how to make it rank.

keepin it really real... none of my pages are ranked for no keywords. A hurtful truth.
let's say I want to specifically know about these two pages:
http://urbanstore420.siterubix.com/unkut-clothing
keywords: unkut clothing, unkut paris
http://urbanstore420.siterubix.com/biggest-online-headshop
keyword: biggest online headshop
thanks missionops

OK we'll look at why unkut clothing and unkut paris are not ranking the page http://urbanstore420.siterubix.com/unkut-clothing

The content isn't detailed or lengthy enough to challenge the front pages such as http://www.urbanlocker.com/marques/14-unkut YET they win as internal links age kick in etc, because the page structures are almost teh same.

Google would rank you if you took the info on what you can find and target a PART of their range = you might see more light at the end.

ie: unkut boxers or uncut gloves and actually write a QUALITY 800 word post about them - that can't be found online as all the other websites/blogs(your competition) are just advertising the product without substance.

Give google what it wants and it will open up a whole new world of opportunity to yu.

...write some

Hopefully helpful

got it, it is exactly what I plan to do, maybe not the boxers but i understand what you mean. i have to improve my writing skills, english is just a foreign language to me, I will give it my best.
Thank you I am glad there is no big no no, just write more.

All good bro :)
