It's funny, I must have changed it about fifty times. It's amazing how many variations you can get on the same phrase. For example:

- "We help you find an unregistered domain name for your website"

- "We help you find unregistered domain names for your websites"

- "Find an unregistered domain name for your website"

- "Find unregistered domain names for your websites"

- "Find a great unregistered domain name for your site"

Etc etc. I think I'll get rid of the "We help you", as that was something I was indecisive about.

Thanks --

I would drop the "for you website" bit. It sounds a little 1994. What else would they want the domain name for?

I too fell into that trap. One day I woke up and saw "best * on the Internet" in my copy and hated myself all day.

I think keeping "for your website" makes it clearer for normal people.

At the same time, "normal people" who don't know that domains are for websites will not have a prayer of understanding what domainpidgin.com is about.

How do you expect these "normal people" to find domainpidgin in the first place?

It seems to me that the text in the header should be "Domain Pigeon helps you find unregistered domain names for your websites." These are the first words you used yourself in describing the site and I think they work perfectly.

Yeah, that's smart. Done.

Digging back in the logs and I found this-- Not sure if you ever changed this, but that's a weird tagline. The other poster is right, it sounds very 1994. It seems redundant in one sense, and awkward in the other. A website suggests a domain, so do you mean I need a new domain for my existing website?

unregistered domain locator

Can I get that with a ".com" please?

@OP, how about "Get a great .com, .net, .whatever right now!"
