Generic, keyword dot com domains are pretty damn awesome. You’ll hear different perspectives from different people. Some will say the value has slipped over the years while others will say that they are more valuable than ever. Regardless of your position, there is no denying that great domains should be put to great use. Here are 15 examples of companies putting generic domains to work where they belong by pointing them to their brand:
- ringers.com – Cowbells.com (bonus points for double generic names)
- famous.com – FamousFootwear.com
- teeth.com – RedwoodCityDentistry.com
- buckets.com – Bwaycorp.com
- leaner.com – hgh.com (ok, this one seems sketchy)
- mental.com – nvidia-arc.com/index.php
- director.com – adobe.com/products/director.html
- tires.com – discounttire.com/dtcs/home.do
- bite.com – dentalxchange.com/home/Home

Nice list of examples. I think with all the new gTLD’s in the mix, people have forgotten some of the basic gold lined niches.
Great List here are some more popular ones
Loans.com – Bank of america
