AdsbyGoogle.biz and AdsbyGoogle.us... Bad idea?

    I just registered AdsbyGoogle.biz and AdsbyGoogle.us... I am wondering if you could check them out and tell me if they have any potential. If so I will be removing the Godaddy ad by upgrading to a paid hosting account, because that ad on top of the page is annoying. Anyway any insight will be appreciated. Thanks...

    Personally I don't like these particular domains for several reasons:
    -.biz and .us are not the best domain extensions. These are most often used by spammers. You can still get rankings with these extensions, but the extension reflects poorly upon your website.
    -you would be competing with the AdSense/AdWords pages of Google for traffic. You likely won't beat them for rankings unless you target more obscure terms.
    -using any domain with a trademarked brand in it is a bad idea. If Google notices you, they can sick their legal team on you and force you to close your website. You might get banned from AdSense too.

    Depends on content on your site and not just made-for-adsense site...
