Hi everyone! I need advice on this one.
I currently have a domain www.simplecraftprojectsforkids.com</
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.

Is it a good idea to change domain?
Hi everyone! I need advice on this one.

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.

I'd like to add a screenshot of an image from a book that I am reviewing. Can I do that? Should I just add source links and such?
Yes, this is no problem at all. People place amazon links with images. If you want to add a link to an image you insert then yu can do this by
clicking on the image then the add link icon. Remember to select open in new tab so it does not take visitors away from your website
Hi stormlyt. Also, you can make the image of the book clickable, so that it takes the user to a site of your choice.
Hi stormlyt. Good question. I believe you can. However, to be safe, you might want to check images.google.com and images.bing.com to see if there is a 'labeled for re-use' or 'public domain' image.

Hello Stella! I believe your domain name is fine. Once you post content that have your selected keywords, that will be the way search engines will recognize you. It will increase your rankings when your visitors engage with you via comments on your content. Its a win-win situation! Best wishes for you!
Thank you so much for the advice. Im fairly new in this area. Im slowly understanding the ropes. It takes time to digest all of the learning. Now ill let my domain be and move on. lol. time to do content.
We are all here to help each other reach our individual goals. Please let us know if you have any other questions. I'm happy to help too!
I agree with upsgirl in that i think it is fine. It says what the site is about and can be easy for someone to remember. Not sure how brandable it would be but at this point I would just roll with it =)
Thank you very much. I sincerely appreciate it. I will keep on working on my content and move forward.
It's fine. Some might say it's long but it can be memorable. Hey, you bought it so just work on your content. You're fine!
I have already asked for advice from the community prior buying it but now doubts just came in. Thank you so much. It really meant a lot to hear that its just fine.

I couldn't decide which theme to choose for a crafting site. Any suggestions? Thank you.
I use creative mag for mine :) http://upcycledbabyclothes.com Circumference Lite and Sugar and Spice you can also look at. :)

There are so many themes to choose from and it is subjective. If you see a theme you like you can check to see if it's a Wordpress theme and if so, which one, here. :) http://whatwpthemeisthat.com/
Thanks so much Kathy. It is a useful tool. amazing. Im narrowing down my choices. I still have to work on some content though. I appreciate your help.
