Should I change Domain name?

[xnreborn]

*For privacy reasons, niche and domain name are changed slightly, but the idea is there.

I've wanted to start Blogging in the Gifts Niche, and originally wanted a domain name like "giftsfordads.com"

However, I've read some post on the benefits of expired domains (backlinks and getting out of sandbox faster etc), and decided to engage (paid) someone online to search for a better domain name, and making sure that it's not filled of spams etc.

The proposed domain name is spicypinkgifts.com,below are the stats for the site.

DA	PA	TF	CF	RD	Backlinks
14	26	4	8	55	24

I've decided to go ahead with Spicypinkgifts.com and started blogging for about 1month + now.

I've published about 10+ post so far using long tail keyword and low search volume, blah blah blah.

So far, none of the post are indexed (except for the main page), and there's zero views on my blog.

Well, I'm not upset about this, but somehow, I felt like I wanted to change my domain name to giftsfordads.com as it suits my niche a lot more (assuming my blog mainly post about gifts for dads and only dads, like all sorts of dads example).

So, I felt like if I were to change my domain name, this would be the best time before my blog gains any traffic or traction.

Can anyone advise me, if changing the domain name is a good idea.

I plan to monetize by affliates and ads, so I won't be selling any product. (In this case, a branded domain name wouldn't matter as much for me)

Thanks!

Well, second name is better itself, but indexing is just a pain in the ass right now

If that is the case then you should change the domain name without hesitation.

Yes, NOW is the best time to change it because it is just a beginning.

The first domain doesn't look like anything spectacular, and I'm not sure how it has 55 RDs but only 24 backlinks.
If the second domain is brandable I'd go for it, especially as you're only a month in. Of course you can 301 the original expired domain to your new one, to take advantage of whatever trickle of link juice it has going to it.

Since your first domain is still in the beginning position and the second domain sounds better than the first one, you should change it.

Change it to giftsfordads.com - it sounds better.

Thanks all for the advise! I'll make the changes

Expired/Aged domains work and can save you a ton of money but what you have isn't going to do anything. 55 RD DA 14 is nothing. You need something a lot stronger to make this worthwhile.

I think still you have the option to change the domain name without hesitation because your first domain is still in the beginning position and the second one sounds better than the first one also the second domain is much memorable and brandable and sounds catchy too than the first one.

Bro, this domain is weak. And wtf is with RD 55 and BL 24?

The domain name is not the point. The key is the content
