The Best Website Taglines Around the Internet

A tagline can make or break a website (well, maybe not, but it is cool to be dramatic). Below you will find a collection of the best taglines around the Internet. Some of them are funny, some are clever; but all of them deliver the message! Hopefully it will serve as inspiration.

  1. The Straight Dope: Fighting Ignorance since 1973 (It’s taking longer than we thought).
  2. Maxim Philippines: The best thing that ever happened to men … after women!
  3. The Consumerist: Shoppers bite back.
  4. Random Acts of Reality: Trying to kill as few people as possible…
  5. Joshuaink: Same old shit, different day.
  6. The Superficial: Because you’re ugly.
  7. Smashing Magazine: We smash you with information that will make your life easier. Really.
  8. The Best Page in the Universe: This page is about me and why everything I like is great. If you disagree with anything you find on this page, you are wrong.
  9. Scaryduck: Not scary. Not a duck.
  10. The Art of Rhysisms: Chronologically inept since 2060.
  11. Needcoffee.com: We are the Internet equivalent of a triple espresso with whipped cream. Mmmm…whipped cream.
  12. Ample Sanity: Life is short. Make fun of it.
  13. Rathergood.com: The Lair of the Crab of Ineffable Wisdom - a load of stuff by Joel Veitch that will probably crush your will to live.
  14. The Breakfast Blog: In search of the best eggs in town.
  15. Dooce: Not even remotely funny.
  16. Pink is the new blog: Everybody’s business is my business.
  17. Shoemoney: Skills to pay the bills.
  18. Oh No They Didnt’t!: The celebrities are disposable, the content is priceless.
  19. YouTube: Broadcast Yourself.
  20. Waiter Rant: Do you want Pommes Frite with that?
  21. Newshounds: We watch FOX so you don’t have to.
  22. Sabrina Faire: All the fun of a saucy wench, none of the overpriced beer.
  23. Defective Yeti: A maze of twisty passages, all alike.

  37. Lifehacker: Don’t live to geek, geek to live!

  1. James Pegram on August 29th, 2007 4:13 am

    Cool post, I think you covered most of major players. A bit of shameless self promotion here’s mine.
    Reality Wired - Perception is reality and reality gets you paid.

  2. Skellie on August 29th, 2007 4:21 am

    Something about being ’smashed’ with information frightens me. Considering I am on dial-up, the tagline is actually a pretty good reflection of reality ;)

    Mine is: Creating content 2.0 to match the new web. I like it, lists or no :).

  3. Ronald on August 29th, 2007 4:21 am

    I personally like theVbag.com (slightly NSFW). They sell bags for storing umm, intimate items that women use as a replacement for men…

    Tagline: “What do you put yours in?”

  4. Ali on August 29th, 2007 4:26 am

    “Taking The Web Out of The Box” - My personal one :)

    Great list.

  5. Daniel on August 29th, 2007 4:27 am

    Ronald, that is a good one hehe, but I could not find it the site. Maybe they removed.

  6. Rhys on August 29th, 2007 4:29 am

    Thanks for linking to The Art of Rhysisms, my long dead blog :). My current tagline - born out of discovering my blog was banned in China - is “1/6th of the World Can’t Access it, 5/6th of the World Doesn’t Want To

  7. Eli on August 29th, 2007 5:15 am

    A lot of these are really good, just a nice addition for successful websites I guess.

  8. John Cow on August 29th, 2007 5:40 am

    We’re moooved you’ve included us!

  9. Michael Rowles on August 29th, 2007 7:02 am

    Ok, you can stop worrying now.

  10. hurty elbow on August 29th, 2007 7:37 am

    I’m partial to mine,

    Hurty Elbow: Comedy that’s quite hurty in the elbow.

  11. Heather (errantdreams) on August 29th, 2007 7:38 am

    I hadn’t thought that much about taglines, but you’re right, these do make the reader take notice. Thanks for pointing them out.

  12. Jeremy Steele on August 29th, 2007 8:30 am

    I think it is kind of interesting how many popular sites/blogs are starting to dump their taglines.

  13. Daniel on August 29th, 2007 8:46 am

    Jeremy, which ones you referring to?

  14. Ramkarthik on August 29th, 2007 10:13 am

    Thats a pretty good list. Few are funny.

  15. Amy on August 29th, 2007 11:12 am

    mine -

    aimZblingZ - * if you can bring it, I can bling it *

  16. Matthew Baldwin on August 29th, 2007 12:45 pm

    Actually, defective yeti has about 30 rotating taglines. In addition to the one you mention, there’s also:Haphazardly Spellchecked Since 2002 (probably my personal favorite)Sturgeon’s Law Strictly EnforcedThe Buckhorn Beer Of WeblogsThinking Outside The PantsPutting The “i” Into “Teaim”

  17. Matthew Baldwin on August 29th, 2007 12:47 pm

    My fancy formatting = FAIL

    Haphazardly Spellchecked Since 2002
    Sturgeon’s Law Strictly Enforced
    The Buckhorn Beer Of Weblogs
    Thinking Outside The Pants
    Putting The “i” Into “Teaim”

  18. Matthew Baldwin on August 29th, 2007 12:48 pm

    Also, I’ve always been fond of Mighty Girl’s “FAMOUS AMONG DOZENS”

  19. Kishore on August 29th, 2007 4:14 pm

    Nice funny collection of Blog messages

  20. Widgett Walls on August 29th, 2007 4:27 pm

    Hey, thanks for choosing Needcoffee! I’d like to humbly suggest the tagline of one of our newest sites, dedicated to mindless and entertaining violence, The Daily Kicksplode: “No gimmicks. No frills. Just once a day, something takes it in the face. Because this is what you want.”

  21. J.D. on August 29th, 2007 5:08 pm

    I’ve always liked People You’ll See In Hell’s (pysih.com) “Your daily dose of evil.”

    But then I’m alone in a basement right now.

  22. Brian on August 29th, 2007 5:49 pm

    My favorite is The Sneeze (http://thesneeze.com): “Half zine. Half blog. Half not good with fractions.”

    I like mine too (http://candyaddict.com): “All the candy that’s fit to eat, and some that isn’t.”

    Brian

  23. uncle wilco on August 30th, 2007 1:18 am

    Not as hip as some of these, mine is “Share your shed”, does exactly what it says on the tin.

  24. CAP News on August 30th, 2007 1:31 am

    CAP News … Are you in on the joke?

  25. chris on August 30th, 2007 2:10 am

    You forgot deanhunt.com - “Cos everyone is entitled to my opinion”

  26. Daniel on August 30th, 2007 4:10 am

    Thanks guys, the ones suggested were pretty good, I updated the post and we are up to 45.

  27. Mike on August 30th, 2007 4:44 am

    One which still makes me chuckle is SEO Dave Naylors site which has the tag line “Can’t beat a good rank”.

  28. Scribble Duck on August 30th, 2007 8:03 am

    We make up the news, so you don’t have to.

  29. Scaryduck on August 30th, 2007 8:11 am

    I draw your attention to my *other* tagline:

    “A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, stuffed up a dog’s bottom”

    So, so sorry.

  30. 399Retouch on August 30th, 2007 9:12 am

    My website’s tagline is “You Can Look Better Than You Really Do.”

    (We Photoshop retouch pictures of people.)

  31. Comrade Smack on August 30th, 2007 9:39 am

    I’m a fan of the CULT OF THE DEAD COW’s

    “the internet’s #1 white slavery and cockfighting site!”

    http://www.cultdeadcow.com

  32. happiegrrrl on August 30th, 2007 6:50 pm

    Famous among dozens is funny. I am going to click over and check that one out just because I like the humor.
    Mine’s “Happiegrrrl Climbing - Where I’ve Been and Things That Have Happened While I Was There.” Pretty much tells it like it is, with a bit of climber attitude.

    and
    “Taking life with a grain of salt, a dash of pepper, and a shot of tequila”

  64. Marc Snyder on April 23rd, 2008 10:41 pm

    Since 1995, when I registered the domain, the site tagline has served it well :
    If it’s about your career … it’s here !!!

  65. Mo Morrissey on May 1st, 2008 10:48 am

    I want to know how Ronald in comment #3 KNOWS that tagline….Hmmm.

    After reading some of these, I realize how lame mine is: Purveyors of fine Hip Argot, Categorical Imperatives, and other ideas of import.

  66. faathir on May 3rd, 2008 5:33 pm

    first time blogging, searching some tips and found this site..cool site..

  68. SEO Genius on June 3rd, 2008 1:32 pm

    That is an awesome list :) really opens me up to more “eye catching, random and perhaps conflicting” taglines instead of the more generic corporative taglines that i currently use.

    Thanks :)

  69. funnyrosa on June 15th, 2008 3:12 am

    I have a website called findthefunnyWIRE which posts news headlines about comedy films. My husband has just added a blog (http://findthefunnywire.squarespace.com/guffaw) called GUFFAW.

    His tagline: “With the emphasis on guff!”

    He still cracks me up!
