If I buy a url with high search and forward it, what kind of traffic can I expect?

There is a url available, the .us, for a domain name that gets more than 55 million searches per month. Is it worth buying to forward it to one of my websites? Will I get any traffic? How about if it was the .com, .net or .org would that make a difference?

    If it's related to the topic of your site it would be perfect. If not, why would you want to?

    You really mean you want to buy the domain and then redirect to an existing domain,right?

      Right, and I wonder if I would get any traffic from the forwarded url.

    I go with Travlinguy. Why would you want to?
    If anything why not get the domain and build around the search subject,if the subject is of any value?

    I think you will only get traffic if your site shows up on the first page of the search engines...

    Frankly, logically, over time, traffic will drop SUBSTANTIALLY if you deviate too much. And if your site isn't what they want, WHY would they say? TRAFFIC IS BAD! You want VISITORS!!!!!!!! VISITORS create traffic, but traffic does NOT always mean visitors. A few hundred visitors could mean good profit. A billion hits likely means EXPENSES!

      Does ANY keyword get 55 million exact match searches per month? Obviously the site isn't getting much traffic or they wouldn't be selling it, or maybe it's been deindexed? But you say the domain name gets 55 million searches, I assume you mean it's an EMD. But if you forward it you'd negate the EMD. If it's for PPC, Facebook ads, etc. an EMD url improves the click thru rate, but it wouldn't help organic SEO, unless it already has traffic. JMO
