Hi everyone! I need advice on this one.

I currently have a domain www.simplecraftprojectsforkids.com</

You have a nice site with a content relevant domain name. So, wonder why you have the intention to change it as the second domain name seems more in general. Moreover, there are a number of contents been created and indexed by search engine.

I would prefer to keep the same domain. Anyway, just my personal opinion as you may have a good reason to change it.

You've been doing this for a while now and you have a good amount of content. I'd keep the same domain name and perhaps use the new name for a slightly different niche - maybe for adults instead of kids. There's no reason why you can't have 2 domains, just don't spread yourself too thin.

That is a good point. You are right there. I just thought i wanted a shorter domain. But if its the case, I'm giving this a lot of thought. Thanks so much.

Tough call. All your current posts and pages are connected and indexed by the search engines with the original.

Also, your keywords "craft projects for kids" are in the original. IF those are your chosen keywords, I would keep it as it is.

If those keywords are not, then you "could" use a Redirect in DNS to point traffic to the new one. But, you will need to wait a month or two to see how your new website (and keywords) work out. I like the shorter one and I've done this in the past, but it does slow down your wanted search traffic until things kinda kick back in.

I might really do this but i need to think this through as it affects the traffic. Thanks for the advice. Now i know that I really have the option.

I am getting ping back comments when I add links on my site. I deleted the previous, is it the right thing to do? How do I deal with it?

Thanks

Yep, turn them off as Vic indicated. They don't help SEO. Just delete 'em. Cheers!

Thanks! I thought at first I can't waste one comment but then I realized that ping back won't help with SEO. Thank you for clearing that up.

HI
Go to quick edit - if you wish to allow comments, click allow comments and unclick allow pings. That should sort it out.

Thank you for the help. Now I know what to do with them. :)

I found your response useful.

great

Yes, you can delete them.
Under Settings>>Discussion, uncheck the top two boxes. Save and you should not get them anymore.

Before I was just guessing whether to delete or not. Now I know exactly what to do with them. Thanks much.
