Changing the name of one's blog.......

I have submitted my blog to a zillion directories.

I realize that I can change the name of my blog so that it would probably get better search engine placement.

The question is:
Is it a wise idea to change the name of my blog at this point in time?

It's probably a bad idea to change the name of my blog now, isn't it?

Do you mean changing the just the name or the url?

I have changed the names on my blogs several times, and have not found any negative effects as a result of this. I have found that it may help my blogs search position that it they are been linked to under a veriaty of names.

I would not want to change to url of any of my blogs ever. I have been told it could be posible to change URLs without any negative effect but it is stil a risk that i don't feel happy taking.

Hi,
Thanks for responding.
My blog is on blogger and I don't think that changing the name of my blog changes its url.
I'd better check.
lol

Thanks for your feedback.

You have to keep a record of the directories you had submit your blog to.
At least know the login to their member area for future update.

You are absolutely right!
:)

I have records of perhaps 50% or more of the directories I submitted my blog to.

I am beginning to think that it isn't worth bothering to change the name of my blog since I don't have records of all of the directories that I submitted my blog to.
:)

Thanks for your response.

What's the name of your blog now, and what do you want to change it to?

Hi Rellie,

Now it is named:

NINA KURILOFF - FINE ART

I think it would be more beneficial to me to change the name to:

NINA KURILOFF - PAINTINGS

Thanks for any feedback you can offer.

I think paintings can be quite restrictive right? If you done a pencil drawing, will you consider that a painting? And it seems that if you ever decide to pick up a new form of art, need it be sculpting, installations etc., fine art seems great enough. :)

Maybe you should change the meta content for it? It may look more attractive that way.

I haven't done anything with meta content yet.

Do some research on Meta Tags, and key word optimization. Changing your name is fine if you have a small readership... but once you get a large one you will NOT want to be doing that. It is hard to regain readers especially if you keep shifting URLs.
