Wow. I'm impressed by the number of links there. I have a blog that is running a series on Marketing Blogs. Perhaps your readers may also be interested.

catchy and funny, but I am not sure I would personally ready something that sounded so egotistical. What would it be about exactly, just you?

That is a good one, but I see what you mean about not incorporating the other aspect (marketing). Maybe start another blog that focuses on marketing too?

Feel really pity because I have underrated the taglines. Thanks for changing my mind.

I think the tagline, although it should be descriptive and capture the spirit of the blog, does not matter much. The most important thing is your actual content. Write about stuff that you are passionate about and that can potentially help other people and you will be moderately successful. Get some big bloggers to link back to you and you will be crazy successful :)

Bottom line, don't worry too much about the tagline. Worry about the content.

Fun romp through a part of marketing that few pay enough attention to!

Not from a blog, but the one I've always enjoyed the most is from a locksmith friend of mine who uses this tagline: "Pick me before they pick you."

Thanks for an enjoyable read.

Great post! One way to write a great tagline is to read others. Writing a tagline is not the easiest thing to do so hopefully hearing some other creative lines will spark an idea.

I'm a fan of taglines - but it's tough to come up with one. Sometimes they come from what someone else says about you. I got mine from a mention of my blog in a magazine. Newspapergrl: the Lois Lane of the World Wide Web
The only problem? I'm not just a reporter of the web, I'm a marketer. The tagline doesn't reflect that.

These are some really good taglines, thanks for sharing. Taglines are a great way to attract peoples attention so you need to make sure it is catchy.

Great mix of headlines...

I'd say that the headline/tagline is the number one most important piece to draw in an audience.

I personally use bizzarre and almost controversial headlines, but you have a list of very catchy and clever and tasteful headlines that I can learn from...

which is the key for everyone here, read and learn how to do this on your own blog.

That was a great list. Taglines should never be underestimated. I think they're the ones that really define your blog, don't you think? I personally think that the taglines can make or break you. People know just by the sound of it if it's interesting enough to them.

What about my blog's tag line?

"Mark 2100, World Dictator: Sooner or Later"

You have got me thinking now. My tagline is very boring in comparison.

I am going to brainstorm some new tagline ideas.

Great work,

Rob

I had a great tagline writer. My dad wrote it for his saloon (blog is it's legacy) which opened on the day Prohibition was repealed... in 1931, I think.

Well, it is really a must to have taglines that are catchy and striking. Taglines allow us to be searched and at the same time to be noticed. In business and for e-marketers, taglines shows their uniqueness from others. Hence, it is important to work on something that is striking and unusual.

Something new always catches others' attention.

Nice list. For my blog, I chose:

"A blog about good business writing and bad. Especially the bad. Because there’s so much more of the bad."

It's a bit long, but pretty much sums it up.

Recently I've been getting particularly snooty and obnoxious about bad writing in my posts. To reflect that, I am thinking of changing the tagline to "Did I mention that I had a PhD from Cambridge?".

Unfortunately, I suspect a lot of people wouldn't realise that such a tagline is just me being snootily obnoxious towards my own self-important writing!

haha the last point "For blogs with non-descriptive names, taglines become even more important" is true - my blog (my name) had the tagline The Dialogue Is The Content in 2005. But recently I changed it to The Business of Being Social.It is on online communities.

Interestingly, I advise clients to name their microbranded network for the Purpose but use the Tagline for value systems. e.g. The Harley Davison Community (Purpose) with the tagline Medice, cura te ipsum! - will attract doctors with bikes for recreation rather than bikers with hoggers for serious.

I guess what I am saying is, think about using the name of your blog for your Purpose, keywords, subject and the tagline for your tone, position, values. :P

My blog, Get Fresh Minds, tagline is "ideas so fresh... they should be slapped!"

I think it's a fun one.
