Keyword in URL

Hello
i have an ecommerce website xxxx-xxxx-xxx.com in a high competitive market.
I've been in the first spot in google for almost 3 months, for a keyword xxxx xxxx xxxx ( my domain name with spaces instead of dashes),
the competition is almost high, around 9 mil
been working on it since a year. is that happened coz of the keyword in the URL?
thank you

 

Keywords in domain does help. But thats not the only reason you are ranking so well.

 

Yeah, like dcristo said, keywords in domain surely helps, but not the only reason for being the #1 in SERP.
Backlinks and other SEO also counts.

 

but it really help u know
my website is somewhere in the 4th page for keywords that I've been trying to rank for a long time.
Thank you guys

 

Keywords in domains are great for seo purposes. That rank is mainly because of the keyword domain

 

I have a domain that has the keywords in the domain name and it's ranking 4th at the moment, strong link building strategy will see this move up to number 1 but you still have to work to get your domain with keywords in it.

 

Yes using of keyword on domain, it can helps to ranking.

 

It helps but not a lot! That could be one of the reason why you rank, but you must also consider other factors like on-page and off-page stuffs.

 

Yes, it is just part of the picture.

 

It does help in ranking, but as several others have pointed out before me, it is not the be all and end all of SEO.

 

Yes, using of keyword on domain name, it is helps to good SERP's.

 

Keyword in domain helps but keyword in URL, i.e. a page within the domain is almost as good. Neither will succeed except for uncompetitive terms though without a good spell of link-building. The likelihood is that is the term is competitive - 1 in 9,000,000 - then lots of URLs contain the keywords so the URL itself does not become much of a differentiator. It's more likely the incoming links, links within the site and the on-page content that are making you do well.

 

keyword in URL surely will help a lot, I would go for domain names with 3 keywords that contain no spaces or dashes in them.

 

But it you are going to start a website from scratch, you're better off buying a domain with the keywords (or even keyword phrase) in the name.

 

keywords in the url actually don't help as much as you think
I can rank high for xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx and not have any of the words in my URL
the title tag and meta description will carry much much more weight then the URL..

 

I definitely think the domain name helps. However, for a 3-word exact keyword match, it shouldn't take that long to get a page 1 rank.

As for your page 4 rankings, I assuming those keywords are probably more generic.

 

Keywords in domain helps, but there are a number of other factors to be considered.

 

Your domain may help along with your content containing the keywords over and over.

 

That is not the only factor. Others like your content, backlinks, all come into play here.

 

Here is Why: Google doesn't care so much about Keyword Domains. Need to know for yourself just type in any search term and see how many keyword domains are ranking.

The reason you want them is simple: People use the keyword domains to link back to your site. Google loves anchor text links. You get a whole lot more of the primary keywords linking back to you if they are in your domain URL. It's common sense. For how long, how relevant? Who knows?
