BIZ or US ?

[grevan]

Hi to all.
Just wondering which extension would be more valuable for a non english word, Biz or Us.
If you find a premium word in spanish, wich one would you pick?
Don´t forget the huge spanish speaking population in the US.
Thanks a lot for your thoughts.

Get both if you can. If you can buy the .com that's the first line of business. Even if you have to pay more now it's going to pay dividends in the future. If you are choosing one of the two I would go with .US if your market is specifically the US. However, based on your country of origin I would recommend .BIZ as that still does remain popular and there are no nexus requirements. If you are doing Spanish maybe try .ES or whatever the one is in your country. You might even get it cheaper and it will be more recognized for your audience.

I would say neither actually. I have alpe.us, alpe is the acronym for a latin organization here, and it gets very little traffic and no offers.

I'm starting to get decent .biz traffic from Europe, but not yet the US. I do have a few .us domains that are getting clicked every now and then. As far as .biz in the US is concerned, you are going to have to do a lot of work yourself to get much traffic.

BTW, I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but .us is only for American citizens and companies. And our current government is keeping track of all this stuff. You can't have a private .us. I know the EU is also going after non-European .eu domain owners.

So I guess the answer is, find something you can reg in com/net/org.

Kind regards....

Thank you guys.
So,without being developed they probably worth the same, right? Or maybe BIZ is more acceptable worldwide.
Actually i'm an american citizen, so no problem registering US domains.
Anyone else?
