Understood Amma. I know .com and .us are miles apart in value. IMO if the .com was somewhat valuable to an enduser, the other popular tld should have some, but significantly lower value.
Seems if (example) buyclick.com sells for x,xxx some of the others can go for xxx? From an enduser's point of view, if was willing to spend 5,000 for a .com, why wouldn't I spend 250-500(tidy profit for me) for the other tld to protect the brand, webisite, company I'm building?
It doesn't always pan out, but it can be wiser than thinking up some of the "wacked out"(lol) names I see in this forum. btw I've have had some decent success in snatching up the remaining tlds.
If nothing else, it should generate good traffic due to the .com.
thanks again
