Which is the strongest extension and which one would you have .us or .biz for example : mp3player.us or mp3player.biz


Which one would command the most money as just a domain and what type of price difference i.e 2x 5x 10x the difference !

Thanks !

My own preference in the above example (mp3player) alone would be to think the .biz is better suited. I find that to be the case in most "singular" product related keyword strings because they can be used to define a business specializing in that particular product.

For my tastes, the very strong .us ccTLD defines location, and may be better suited to the "plural" form as in (mp3players.us) where it can be used to more determine a particular marketplace location. A directory of businesses selling mp3players in the US would work better using the .us extension rather than the .biz me thinks.

Hard to then apply multiples in values without knowing the application. When looking at location keywords instead of product types, it becomes easier. For example, I've found that US City .us names are valued higher than US City .biz names currently, and seem to trade at 10x the reseller rates.

Wow thanks for the advice it was a domain i was chasing and i know the .us version fetched over 20k and was wondering what the .biz version would be worth,they want 8k for it !
 
hmm, seems very B2C this term. .BIZ will make the name a big stodgy, unless this is really a wholesaler site or something, .US will probably fit better.
