    Will Goog penalize a site for it being rich in keywords if it has 5 keywords in the domain name?

    If you are optimising for those 5 keywords as a phrase, then I don't see how Google would penalise you.

    2-3 keywords in a domain will do, but it depends on the theme of your site. Google favors the use of long tail keywords as a domain name.

    CoopersPick,

    SEOMoz has recently published some research on this. Keywords in the domain are good. But shorter domains are more effective than longer domains.

    I have 3 rather long words in my domain name and in hindsight it was probably a bad idea. Oh well, thems the breaks

    short URL always do the trick, min. 5 and max. 6 words URL is good and ideal as per SEO requirements. Short URL are easy to remember which make it user friendly.
