Sometimes we just need things to be pointed out to guide us toward information. I was going to submit a name for your site, and did come up with something. And I nearly did submit it, but decided instead to buy it for myself! Sorry - it was just too good to pass on. (lol) Maybe next time.... Cheryl Hi Stu,

I really like parts of several of the names suggested. Maybe you could have multiple winners, and combine the favorite entries into one really great name that utilizes the keywords you want to emphasize. I’d like to amend my previous comment.

It conveys the idea that once you know about Stu, you know that he's the "go-to guy" for marketing and web-related information! I also like My Idea Tool Box. Ideas and the tools you need to implement them are what it's all about. I agree with Russgu3 that the other names are forgettable and generic.

I figured that since the vote was anonymous (we only track IP address to prevent the same person from voting numerous times) it wouldn't be a problem. However, I never considered the social influence of visually seeing the results and the effect it would have on someone's decision - that's definitely something to consider for next time. Russ and Temogen - you both make good points regarding the name but I think there are always going to be people who don't like the names. I do like the tag line you gave Russ. I agree with you that it adds some pop. The challenge is finding domain names that work with a product name. I checked on both the suggestions you gave and they were both taken. Temogen - I personally think there are a few names that are keyword targeted since the main keywords I'll be going for are things like "marketing tools", "business tools", "web tools", etc. With that said, couldn't I just register a separate domain name for my PPC campaigns? That would solve that problem wouldn't it? Anyway, thanks for your thoughts. Take care. Stu Cheryl - that’s an interesting point you gave regarding showing the results.

Your domain and web site name should have highly targeted keywords matching to your product. If you were to use the names you guys picked as a ppc ad the ad would fail against others. You guys can do better than that come on now To tell you the truth,

In other words, all of the top ten finalists are...forgettable. Don't get me wrong, but with so many sites springing up every day, it seems to me like you need something that...POPS! You know, like those high-end New York ad agencies put together. How about: "The Marketer's Edge - Web 2.0 and Beyond" Which implies several things that the others do not - an edge for the MARKETER (not just leading edge tools, as in #2, which is my favorite of the bunch) and the implied focus on Web 2.0, which is synonymous with all things cutting edge. Adding "and beyond" implies the promise of being there for the long haul. For the domain name, you could just go with MarketersEdge or TheMarketersEdge if they are available (probably not). Even if they're not available, I still think your site name should be as above and your domain name as close as possible. If not this (I'm not that arrogant ( Hey Stu,

This often changes people's opinions and leads them to vote that way. I won't tell you what I voted for (for obvious reasons!) but I believe it described the site and the service appropriately, and that's what you need.

I appreciate your thoughts - especially the comment on making the name "Stu-esque" :) So far it looks to be a tight race between your vote "MyIdeaToolBox" and "Secret Business Tools". It should get interesting. Take care. Stu Thanks Kelly!

Tool Box tells you you're going to have everything you need available! It's an excellent name! Best wishes, Kelly Hi Stu,
