Hello World
Back online after a brief hiatus and the domain suggestions have just been pouring in as comments, emails, texts, and phone calls. Yes, I completely agree I should spring vanessafox.com, but I’ve been trying to a while now and haven’t gotten very far.
Originally, vanessafox.com was owned by the Vanessa Fox who is a bridesmaid dress designer. Only she let it expire and it was snatched up by someone who started using it as a pornarrific made-for-YPN site. vanessafox.com eventually started targeting ads at bridal fashion (by way of uniquesearch.com), rather than porn.
The designer moved on to a new site, hosted by acuriouslight.com, but that site recently disappeared, although the cache of one of the pages is still available. And you can see the home page on archive.org from May of 2006.
I called the last known number for her NY store and it was out of service.
Curious indeed. I hope the fact that I pushed results featuring her way, way down for searches for our shared name didn’t cause her to go out of business or anything. I wondered what had happened — if she simply let another site expire or if she really was out of the designing business, but funnily enough — it’s difficult to find anything about her when I search. I’m hindering my own quest for knowledge by cluttering up the results with myself.
There should be a name for that — sort of anti-reputation management. When you do a search for something and get back only stuff about yourself or that you’ve written. Accidental ego results.
I will keep going after the domain, and particularly if the designer is no longer designing, a made-for-bridal-ads site might not be as lucrative as before. But fortunately, I have many back up names just in case.
My current favorite is vanessaness.com, suggested by Michael Dorausch. I’m also a fan of thevanessafoxshow.com, suggested by David Payne. I had to snag vanessafrocks.com, which Darren Barefoot thought up, although I have no idea what I’ll do with it. For some reason, I’m a huge fan of another of his ideas, youronlyhope.com, but sadly, it’s taken. Also taken is Larry Hosken’s fantastic rockin-penguins.com, which he notes coincidentally became taken shortly after he suggested it last time. Very shortly.
Other favorites include Charlie’s meetmeatthecrapstable.com, Jefferson Fletcher’s crazylikevanessa.com, Corey’s nessafox.com, and Plin’s vanessafoxage.com (I can always count on Plin to bring on the Buffyage!) Todd is thinking I should go with something more hobo-like, like vanessafoxhobo.com or maybe the hobolife.com.
And then of course, there’s Dave. He is forever my steadfast friend. But vanessafoxnaked.com might be a little too much of a departure. 
My aunt Brandy suggested vanessafoxnudeandtattoed.com, but I don’t know where she would get an idea like that. Crazy.
Vanessa be nice or you will go into Supplementary Ego Results..:)
Ergo
Is it Friday yet? Time for Monday’s email-bankruptcy
Please what ever you do do not change your domain name.
First we love, Vanessa Fox Nude.
Second, I will have to edit your page again @Wikipedia.
So be nice to Wicked people, we have a hard time keeping up with you as is, you patroling Willow as Buffy.
Good luck with the big domain hoedown. My only comment is that both times I read ‘meetmeatthecrapstable.com’ (in the original comment thread and here), I read it as:
Meet Meat The Craps Table.com
Which is probably not what you intend. I wonder if we’re generally inclined to read a longer word (’meat’) instead of two shorter ones (’me at’)? Probably.
Vanessa Darling, I jusr did a post, but looks like Akismet flagged the Wiki link.
Can you LookSee..:)
Glad to hear I made #2 . . . BUT . . .
Why am I always #2? It started in grade school at county math contests, carried on to high school (#2 GPA, tied for student body president then lost on the tie breaker vote), and now in my adult life. LOL
Maybe it was because I was the first born and from there on out you have to settle with being #2.
you’ll teach me to leave comments without my URL in them when they could possibly turn into links in the next post.
corey, and you’ve done it again, so I can’t even edit!
David, I hear ya. I was just looking at my Facebook compare app stats and I’m like #2 for everything.
Darren, I know, me too! If only I’d taken more linguistics classes in college, I might know why.
What is the plan for vanessafoxnude.com? Will it syndicate the items from vanessaness.com, but without the CSS information? That would be kind of funny, but perhaps not worth the risk of being marked as Duplicate Content.
Hey Vanessa?
Hope it is not too late to get my 2 ideas in. vanesseo.com & vanessathefox.com
Later,
Scott
Vannesa I found someone who is a better SEO than you…:)

After you finish reading the post check out the about!
Of course I brought the Buffyage! I have a reputation to maintain, you know.
How about VanessaFoxNews.com? I’m sure you could be fair and balanced in your blogging
And it sounds sorta kinda like your current title.
Ok… maybe not. Hope you are doing well.
Cheers,
Randy
@Randy - LOL…she’d probably get sued.
That would be unfortunate if your Googleganger lost business because she had the same name as you. I have a Googleganger but he’s in high school and has no hope for ever ranking for my name. I’ve cornered the market for that.
Vanessa, my comment got stuck again.
Akismet is PITA.
What’s up with Akismet, flagging all URLs
FoxDoesMac.com ??
I didn’t see this until today, so allow me to give out a big…. Woo Hoo!
I’m obviously biased but I think it’s a good fit, especially for the unique branding opportunity.
Cheers!

A) Why not stick with your current domain, it has character…and attracts scores of perverts
B) Why aren’t you using a plugin for your contact form to avoid spam altogether?
C) Why am I on this blog to begin with…
There is something so wrong with being able to say “My aunt Brandy”.
Or maybe I am showing my age
Where are you? You haven’t posted in six days. I am getting Vanessa Fox withdrawals.
Buffy been abducted by Willow.
Well, you could always try with vanessafdressed.com where F would stand for Fox and Finally
what about VannessaTheSEOSlayer.com?
my sister went to highschool with the bridal designer vanessa fox. Now I’m getting married and was looking for her site… I guess she isn’t designing anymore. Thanks for the explaination of what happed to the domain!
