Proof That The Good Domains Aren’t All Gone
There were many submissions for the motto contest and I want to thank everyone for their comment and email entries. I narrowed the field down to 13 mottos. I would have been completely satisfied with any of these, but there was one that I thought did a little more to describe this blog than the others.
Proof That The Good Domains Aren’t All Gone
I liked this one because it offered a point of view of what this blog is about that the name TrendDomaining.com didn’t already imply.
It was submitted by Jamie Parks of Domainer Developer. And I’ll likely take his advice, too, in rotating my motto somewhere down the line (because this motto suggests only hand registers). But for now this one will be excellent.
Jamie, please send me your paypal address and I’ll be speedy on the prize.
I was a little disappointed in the DigitalPoint forums. A few days after posting the contest there, my $50 motto contest had 2 replies and about 40 views. A $5 logo contest had 15 replies and over 100 views. Go figure.
Here is a list of my other 12 favorites:
- Setting the trend for the domains to come
- The Next Generation of Generic Domains
- Predicting The Domains of Tomorrow
- Researching The Domains of Tomorrow
- Pioneering Domain Name Research
- Helping Make Trends Pay For Domainers
- Ultimate domain consultancy
- Discovering Tommorrow’s Top Domains, Today
- F.orgreat domaining .info .come and visit .us on the .net <– nifty!
- In search of the next big domains
- Pulse Of Domains
- Earn more money off domain flipping by following the trends
Again, many thanks to everyone that took the time to enter into this contest. It is much appreciated.

Congrats to Jamie, that’s a very good pick.
Glad to see that one of my suggestions made the final round!
Wow! I won?
Thanks Scott!

IT’S SO TRUE! The fact is, the above statement is what I think of most after I read your writing. Your decision to openly share your domain name research with the masses should be seen as a gift and a sign for both newbie and veteran domain name investors. We’re only in the second inning!
TrendDomaining.com provides a wonderful vehicle for domainers to use when they need a jumpstart or have a bad case of ‘domainer’s block’ - After all, we are in the WORD business and all it takes is a GOOD idea to unveil the world’s next domain name phenomenon.
I’m glad that you found a motto that you really like and that you allowed your readers to participate in helping you come up with it. This contest was a lot of fun and I enjoyed checking back to read all of the catchy and creative submissions coming in from other readers. I’m also glad that you are open to the idea of rotating your motto out down the line. That way you’re not locked in and can grow your site as you see the trenddomaining industry evolve.
With respect to the prize $, how about we donate it to the ICA? I know it’s not much, but every dime counts for those guys. Maybe news of the donation will assist in raising more awareness about the Internet Commerce Association’s initiatives and the importance that they provide to the protection and representation of our industry.

Thanks again Scott, and I look forward to future TrendDomaining posts. By the way, I really do hope someone stems off your idea and gets that ‘fantasy domaining’ site up and running soon - You can bet, I’ll be one of the first on the field!
oh my god i am in one of the favourites bohoo
Congrats Jamie!!!
An excellent choice Scott! Don’t worry about postings, they will pick up. Your blog is an excellent read, it is just a matter of time…
Scott,
Good choice! Jamie, nice tagline and thoughtful gesture to donate to ICA!
Best regards,
Neal
