What do you think of names with US at the end?

[Zutroy]

Hi guys,

I was wondering what do you think of domains with US at the end, as an abbreviation for United States, although I suppose there is also a double meaning type element, are they any good? I don’t mean the .us extension but names like computingus.com or energyus.com, ect.

Thanks

Brandables, and most immediately apparent end-users are probably going to have active TM's (and usually, already own whatever name they want).

I guess what you're playing there is the angle that at some point in the future, someone will want to build a business using that specific, brandable type name. Even though a Keyword with a "US" suffix is sensible, this is still real shot-in-the-dark type stuff. There are *just enough* isolated anecdotes of people making big scores with names like this to keep the herd lining up to get their bets down, but IMO, this sort of 'domaining' has a massively negative expectation, outlying anecdotes aside.

Go ahead, but just know that you're buying an $8 annual lotto ticket.

I see, I was just wondering, when you are still a newbie your mind can be flooded with all kinds of crazy ideas, thanks for the advice.
