I thought I would start a discussion on the topic of developping .US domains; we have a few that are developped and doing quite well.
One example is Oxycodone ///us - certainly not a topic (oxycodone is a popular and highly abused prescription drug) restricted to the US, but it gets plenty of traffic - albeit primarily from the US. This may be because the subject at hand is inherently concentrated in the states.
So, the question, what about a very generic name (think along the lines of stuffforsale ///us tho' that isn't the name)... should we build it to specifically target ONLY US-based visitors, or do we try a chance on making it a truly global site based on the generic keyword?
In addition, what about foreign language keywords in .US (Spanish / French / German / etc...) ?
Thoughts and ideas greatly appreciated!
