Ok, thanks a lot. In my example(www.newsite.com and my LLC is CoolCorp), what would be the correct wording? Something like: "NewSite © 2010 is an affiliate of CoolCorp LLC."?

The usual statutory copyright notice is "Copyright © [year of first publication] [Owner's name]"

In your hypothetical example -- assuming CoolCorp LLC was indeed the copyright owner -- a statutory copyright notice would be "Copyright © 2010 CoolCorp LLC"; there'd be no need to include the URL or name of the site.

I _have_ seen notices that say something like, "NewSite Copyright © 2010 CoolCorp LLC"; I'm not aware that adding the NewSite name like that would cause any problems.

Same disclaimers apply - I'm not your lawyer, etc.
