Hello 8 Themes!

I just had a question regarding the name of the image.
I edit the file name of the image before putting it on the media section of the website and was wondering if a longer name is better for seo purposes?

So for example

1) The Blueberry Store – Blueberries Express – http://www.thebluefood.com – Blue Foods Inc

is better versus;

2) The Blueberry Store

Hello, @TFS,

A domain name’s length, keywords, and extension are critical components of an SEO strategy. A trustworthy, focused, and simple domain name will get more traffic and interest from people and search engines.

However, in general, shorter domain names are often seen as being more advantageous from an SEO perspective, as they are easier to remember and are less likely to be misspelled.
