I thought it was unlimited, but some trainings say 25. As of 2016?

Its been 25 + 25 since I came here to the best of my recollection.

25 and 25. If you need more space, you'll need to purchase another premium membership.

I thought it was unlimited. This is a good question

I also thought it was unlimited,

I know about the 25 on your own domain, but unsure of Rubix.... I thought about this as well..... Bernie

It has been 25+25 since I came here in 2014.

It was unlimited before.

The websites you can host here as a premium member are 25 websites on your own domain and another 25 on the siterubix domains

Is the number of websites hosted changed for premium member?

Hi everyone, as you may know, I live in Australia. We use slightly different spellings of words such as colour, and favourite, and centre, to our wonderful frie

I too have that spelling problem as i am a Cunuck but i have lived with it for my life and it doesn't seem to be an issue. We were taught one way to spell in school but were also told there was a US spelling different for some words.
Part of life.
Carry on.

I have my spell-checking set to US English even though I was born in the UK and have lived most of my life in Australia. USA is a much bigger market than Oz so that's where I concentrate on being 'one of them'. ~Marion

it is difficult to know what is right because of cultural differences. One thing I learned from all my psycology classes and business administration classes is that if you want to target a particular culture, you have to cater to that culture. That is why you hear over and over to know who your audience is. Learn what is important to that audience and incorporate into your website. Here is an example: McDonald's can be found in India. Do you think they serve beef burgers in India? If they did, they would be out of business and ran out of that country quickly.
So basically, you are not just looking at the country you will be serving but the culture of the people you want to attract to your web site.
With that in mind, here is a suggest. Select an avatar that represents the type of person that you want to attract. Now describe that person, their country, their culture, their age, their likes and dislikes within your niche. If you are not sure, google it, research it, then go after it.
does this make sense? I hope so. If not, just let me know what needs clarification.

Hi BeYou;
My spelling is not the best. I write copy and paste into Micro Soft Word to check Grammar and spelling before the finale version is posted.
I hope this suggestion helps.

No you must learn to do it American way, I grew up using British system but when I came here to further my education, I had a shocker of how English spelling was totally changed to my dismay. If you want to spell cheque book for your banking system, here in America you use check like you are checking some thing out. My advise is for you to adopt this system or you will run in to some problem................for your own good if you really want to do business here in America.

Go with being yourself....the world is in desperate need of adding a little colour to life

Don't think it matters much. When I see it just tell me they are British. Or in your case Australian. It certainly doesn't offend me. Just makes me laugh at the rules and the meaninglessness of them. The meaning remains clear. English is as strange as the people who speak it.

lol. i agree

If your trying to use just one, I would go with the larger market. As far as offending, I'm in the U.S. and seeing color and favorite spelled differently does not offend or dissuade me at all.

ok, thanks

Since your audience are US based like you said...simply go ahead and spell the words in the US format so that your audience can relate to it. And if the spell checker picks it up as been an error or wrong spelling, simply right click and choose the right spelling suggested from the list it provides

good advice

I use the us spelling I am a Canadian and we still have some words spelled differently my suggestion is US larger market

I have just rebuilt a website that we had hosted on another site. I have rebuilt it at WA, and happy with it. I transferred the info, and redirected the dns etc, and since being

Looks like you have gotten good advice from the top folks here at WA. Good Luck solving the issue.

If you are transferring a site, things can be in a little bit of a "limbo" state for a bit and it may take Google a bit to figure out the new site.

You can retain and continue to improve your rankings by activity on your actual website. Work to get engagement (through comments) and of course, continue adding pages or posts moving forward. Your rankings will come back and be better than ever.

I am doing all this, so will see

kenActually there is nothing you can do about it. You have to adhere to the 1000 lb Gorilla GOOGLE.

just googled the site, pops right up!

yes, site is working, but in jaaxy the site rankings is going down.

Did you move a site in google analytics and webmaster tools or just delete the old one and add a new one? If you did the latter that explains it - google now thinks it's a brand new site. Glyn.

I havent done anything in google analytics or webmaster tools. I just transfereed the dns settings, and deleted the old site. Do I have to do something in google analytics?

Maybe you can't do that for google, but in bing webmaster tools there is an option to move a site to a new name so bing knows the newly named site is not a brand new one. Anyway, don't worry, your rankings will come back. Glyn

Others have answered and given you good info and advice. Hope it works for you;

I am by no means an expert but I realise you said keyword.This could be where you might be going wrong,are you using separate keywords or phrases.Be sure that you are using phrases.

What Savant said ... ;-)

Mate, relax. Where's that Aussie Spirit? She'll be right, Catherine. I'd give Google a couple of days to catch up with re indexing your site from the new DNS.
I don't reckon there's too much to worry about
Things should rebound in a couple of days

thanks for that. made me laugh.she'll be right mate you reckon..lol

Hi BeYou, it is possible that your changes have confused dear old Google. It may think this is a new site and not take into account previous traffic. Another possibility is that the popularity of that keyword my fluctuate and you are just catching it at a down time. How are you ranking for other keywords?

all have gone down, every day for the past week.
