The Name My Domain Contest! Get Your Entry In Now For Fame, Glory, and Fabulous Prizes!
I probably won’t be online much the next week or so, so I may be slower than usual responding to emails and things. (Although one good thing about making USA Today and the London Times due to your inability to manage your email effectively is that when you apologize for your poor email response, you can prove that it really isn’t personal! You just are bad at mail!)
The radio silence has nothing to do with anything work related. I’m not working on some secret stealth project that prevents me from making contact with the outside world for fear that someone might use mind reading rays to suck my brain or anything. But stop that already! Mind control is just not polite! Ahem.
Anyway, much like you are treated to lovely music while on hold, I thought I would provide similar entertainment in the form of what I’m ranking for these days. However, unlike some people, this isn’t a blog post where I talk about dirty viagra spammers in an attempt to rank for viagra queries. Not that I know anyone who does that.
So rather than list the entire query, I’ll just list the first part and you can imagine the last word of my domain name appended to it. Below is a select list from the thousands of related queries that bring you all here:
- music
- vanessa without bars
- vanessa without the blur
- july
- you (yes, you!)
- youtube
- your neighborhood
- google (perhaps this was valleywag searching)
- work out videos
- what happens in vegas stays in vegas (for which we are all grateful)
- welding (I have welded before — have so! — and I really don’t recommend this)
- viagra (OK, I admit it. It’s a clever ploy to rank for this after all.)
- unicorn (Ken and Curtis, this one’s for you)
- used car tv models
- road trip
- jumping rope
- blackberry
- meta
- networking
- slayers
- social networks
- text messages
And my favorite, “this is why you should never take naked photos”.
(I’m also apparently ranking for wholesale t-shirts. And plastic knife.)
As you might imagine, I’m close to changing my domain name. What do you think I should change it to? If I pick your suggestion, I’ll blog about a topic of your choice, give you full link attribution in the credits section of my about page, and think of you fondly every time I post.
How about “Vanessa Shows You How”
With a domain of getvanessa
I know, no help. Good luck, though.
vanessa-optimized.com
Of course, you’re always optimal.
nofollowvanessa.com
#1. I’d get a hold of ICANN and try to get the VanessaFox.com URL. It’s obviously a squatter and you dominate the internet for Vanessa Fox.
#2. I’d go for something simple like . . .
thevanessafox.com
vanessafoxblog.com
thevanessafoxblog.com
If you went with the third one, you could append it with numerous other things when you expand. Like . . .
thevanessafoxshow.com - your radio show stuff
thevanessafoxpodcast.com - a buffy white board wednesday
thevanessafoxfoundation.com - your future charity site
Get with ICANN though. I think it would be cake for you to win your rightful domain.
Brent David Payne
VanessaFox.com…too boring.
Vanessa Foxy
Pandora’s Box with Vanessa Fox
Whiskey on the Rocks with Vanessa Fox
Squawk Box with Vanessa Fox
I am a rhyming machine
PS: You don’t have much luck on typo’s of your name. I also learned I apparently have a problem typing your name (vanessafoxx.com)

If you’re going away, don’t ask for domain name suggestions now :).
I second David’s recommendation of trying to get your name - heck, spend some money on it if you have to. Alternately, you could get your real name changed when you find a domain name that you like. Since your name isn’t trademarked, I doubt you could use the UDRP to demand it. It’s not going to get any cheaper so you might as well get it now.
Enjoy your break!
Here’s a few…
VanessaTheSeoSlayer.com
FoxOnSeo.com
FoxRox.com
MissyVtheSeoQueen.com
-Joe
vanessafoxeplainsitallforyou.com seems to be available.
Vanessa, I thought you could go for foxnewds.com as a mash of your current and news, but it’s taken…
Clearly, your domain name should become ‘www.vanesseo.com’.
Foxified.com
Finessa.com (that’s just awful)
VanessaFoxClothed.com (obvious, but worth considering)
VanessaFrocks.com (a variation of ‘Clothed’, I guess)
Foxerama.com
YourOnlyHope.com (probably taken, but kind of evocative)
Oh heck, someone nabbed rockin-penguins.com. I was going to suggest rockin-penguins.com and demand the blog item topic of “Penguins who Rock” but that is no longer an option.
Hmm. By a strange coincidence, it looks like this person registered the domain pretty soon after I mentioned its availability on your web site. By “pretty soon”, I mean “the same day.”
You might need to act quickly to nab your favorite suggestion (if that suggestion is posted publicly here). I’m beginning to suspect that Professional Internet Experts are watching.
I 3rd David Payne’s recommendation. And personally - I like thevanessafox.com, or FoxRox.com.
Expanding on the latter - maybe FoxRoxSEO, or FoxRoxtheWeb, or even FoxRoxtheWorld (haven’t checked availability - just thinking out loud)
Cool . . . thanks for the support everyone.
I just think it makes the most sense. As for the SEO suggestions . . . Vanessa’s more than SEO. She is social networking, Buffy fan, xyz product hater, xyz product lover, public speaker, etc. etc. etc. What if a year from now she is bored with SEO?
FoxRox.com is taken and FoxRox.net is $1K so . . . that won’t work but cool idea.
All of my suggestions are still available. Hurry Vanessa. As an AdWords ad would say (using the only exclamation mark you should use in an AdWords ad). . . “Buy Now!”
Change is good and while many may suggest domains including SEO I think it may be limiting. It’s your most popular category but you have a healthy dose of blogging, time, social networking, and onlineness.
My first thought when I saw this post was “awesomeness” as you are known to use that term at times. You probably wanted a domain suggestion that’s actually available so that one is out.
A domain that fit your style would be great, something that can be used cleverly when you make posts about Buffy episodes, cats, travel, and your other interests.
Imagine a domain you could build new words around, giving you top ranking positions for terms coined by you.
It should be easy to spell, make sense phonetically, be available, and reflect your own awesomeness.
I give you…
vanessaness.com
…with categories like buffyness, blogness, socialness, awesomeness, and such.
totalvanessa.com or totalvanessafox.com
blogfox.com or foxblog.com, short and sweet.
vanessalicious.com of course.
The obvious vanessafox .mobi, .info, .us, .tv, .biz, .name are available.
then again so is thefoxthatisvanessa.com which is pretty longish.
for brevity, vfox.org
or more to the point, thevanessafox.com, emphasis on THE with a long E.
foxierthanyoulleverknow.com ?
meetmeatthecrapstable.com ?
nessit.eu ?
( Hate to be a party pooper but for every suggestion you get here, some moron is probably buying it to hold you hostage ?? )
How about VanessaFoxButtNaked.com?
Joking!!! Seriously, how about FoxCalledVanessa.com?
Okay, now seriously… FtotheOtotheX.com? You call name it Vanessa F-to-the-O-to-the-X.
K, that’s stupid. How about foxilico.us?
Sorry… I got nothin’!
Charlie, you’re probably right. I’ve been snatching up a few of them as I see them.
I love meetmeatthecrapstable. Heh.
I actually have been trying to get vanessafox.com for a while. I need to follow up again on that.
Larry! I can’t believe that someone stole our domain name. I’ll do a rockin’ penguin post for you anyway.
(I did snag vanessafrocks.com. How could I resist?)
Darren, youronlyhope.com is about my most favorite domain name ever. It appears to be taken by a band that hasn’t updated the site since 2004 so maybe they’d be up for letting me take it off their hands for a small fee.
Vanessa,you are a funny girl.
Iam sure you will figure it out.
But to me you are the domain, and you speak load and clear. So it is not about the keywords you use. We will find you and respect you even if you use BlahBlahBlah
Vanessa Fox Nude in an anagram generator reveals these partial names:
AnodeSnafus
SavedSnafu
AxedSnafu
EvenSnafus
Am I weird for liking “Vanessa without bars”? Clearly, they’re looking for something else, but still - it has a nice ring to it. Like, Vanessa, unplugged. “Vanessa without the blur” also has a nice ring to it.
But it won’t solve your problem of people finding your site after looking for pics of Vanessa Hudgens, nude.
crazylikevanessa.com (ha, get it?)
norelationtomichaelj.com (i love the 80s)
seo.edu
In keeping with the Buffy-speak ideas: vanessafoxage.com
Vanessa - Grab it ? VanessaFoxLive.com
Weekend fun challenge? I’ll plug it (this page) .. That should be good for at least one post
A few of you other ‘biggies’ post it .. and lets get this going!
OK,
After spending a little time on whois, the following is available:
foxseagull.com
Unfortunately, foxsea.com is taken (shorter is easier to remember…)…
BrianM.com
OK Vanessa - here is the answer
For those who can’t get enough of your blog…
VanessaFoxFix
BTW, I enjoyed your session at BlogWorld
How about searchenginewitch.com - no offense intended
I thinks it’s a funny word play on searchenginewatch.com and it contains major keywords.
Buffy, try Zlob.
I would use:
http://www.vainessafox.com/ (because we all read this blog in vain)
http://www.vanessiefox.com/ (Nessie - the Loch Ness monster - A Legend, like your Blog;))
http://www.20thcenturyvanessa.com/ (as 20th Century Fox is taken).
http://www.vanessavulpes.com/ (latin for Fox)
http://www.vanesseo.com/ (it’s about SEO after all)
PS: I feel I’m gonna get banned! Should I remove my site from the signature … c’est la vie!
vanessafoxnaked.com ??

vanessa, i noticed that you registered my suggestion. does that mean i made the finals?
Vanessa I hope you have the Authority to do a 301 redirect your old site to your new site, or you will have to sleep on Matt`s door steps every night untill Evil Google pardons you…;)
How about
vanessatalks.com? (OK, a bit cheesy maybe, but it’s the best I can come up with).
or better yet, vanessatalksrude
Should I win, I’m sure your readers will be thrilled to read your blog entry on “the relationship of SEO to fussy babies”.
OK, I can’t resist one more. (Why am I doing this???) VanessaFoxRocks.com Happy Turkey ….
digitalvanessafox.com
vanessafoxonline.com
These domains are not fun at all. Yet they are available and will stay relevant over the years (even if the topic changes).
Based on your recent exploits, we think
vanessafoxnudeandtattooed.com would be most appropriate. Bound to attract more hits too, Friends, we’ll post photos soon–stay tuned!
To see Vanessa’s new tattoo click here:

how about taking it back a notch to ya roots. vanessabutterfly.com or wingsofvanessa.com
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanessa_(butterfly)
since your name is defined as “beautiful” and has now been named to a species of butterflys. why not go girly and old school all in one.
How about:
vanessafoxnaked.com
USP , you have too much Naked on your mind..:)
Come do a good deed on wiki.
Vanessa, you have been confirmed as a Famous Wiki SEO. Do not move too much, will lose track of you..:)
