Yeah from what I've heard changing domains is one of the hardest things to do successfully in SEO. This is especially true the older the domain is and the more authority it has.

The previous domain was a little over a year old, but yeah, that could very well had something to do with it. I'm not sure if the domain name change was worth it, but I can say that it made the domain easier to remember, which is always good, and makes me less susceptible to Google changing algorithms.
