   My website is: http://gymnasticsleotards4u.com

   And, I want to create a blog to go along with my website. With my eCommerce site, I've been unsuccessful setting up a subdomain and pointing that subdomain to a WordPress blog.

   The other option I have is to use a different domain. I have a couple other domains registered that I could use for a blog.

   I have:

   1) http://gymnasticsleotardss.com
   2) http://egymnasticsleotards.com
   3) http://gymnasticsleotardsforyou.com

   I'm thinking I should probably redirect #3 to the eCommerce site, although it is the nicest sounding out of the three. Or maybe I should just create an all new domain altogether. Hmmm... I would love some feedback on this.

   Thanks everyone.

   Kim

   Hi,
   I would keep your current domain.
   You dont really need a subdomain, as you can use a subfolder.

   I dont really like any of your 3 domain suggestions, as I feel they are all very hard to remember. Especially the 1) which ends in two 2*s :-P

   The 2) it might be hard to "remember" the e in the beginning.
   3) is the best of the pack I reckon, though: why go through the hassle with one more domain?

   I dont see any reasons you should do so.. You wont be able to "surf" on the pagerank of your current domain, if you choose to do so. Also you will have yet another thing to administrate.

   If you are unable to set up a subdomain, I guess you can ask your hosting provider for help. You might also loose some PR using subdomains, though google now treats it more like the same as it does with subfolders. (there is some logic behind it, though I have barely read about the subject, subdomains vs. subfolders (SEO)). In the past, each subdomain had it's own pagerank, though now google and most likely others will try to analyze if it's a seperate thing or a seperate function of the same thing.

   Google uses subdomains too, though only for completely different "functions".
