Im Considering domain name change, why? read on..

My website is (URL address blocked: See forum rules)

after conducting some research ive noted i rank about 225 on some search engines for the term "party invitation"

However for the seach term "party invitations" (note the 's' on invitations) im not even listed at all. I have about 15-20 links so far and they link to me using the anchor text:
'party wedding invitations'

So i think in the long run im definately gonna need that 's' on invitations in my domain name, and i might pick a new domain name which includes all 3 keywords: party, invitations, wedding.

What do you guys think? The domain i have now is only about a month old so its not much to loose, and i might be best changing now before i get any further down the road. I know the domain name plays a big part in SE rankings.

So what do you think, a change of domain name for the better? Cos i think most people will search for "party invitations" not "party invitation" so if they do i will miss out cos im not listed for the plural search. Let me know what you think.

The domain name is only one small part of SEO and chinging it could be disasterous. Why take the risk? Work horder, keep at it and you will see results.
