How important do you think keywords in the domain name are? I see a lot of high ranked sites that don't have any. So i just wondering how important it really is and whether it will effect your search engine ranking etc...?
I do not think there is any effect of keyword in domain name for ranking in G. It might be one factor with very less important as there are so many other important factors for ranking in SERP.
Keyword in domain is one of the factors G looks to determine page importance but there are thousands of high ranking sites without keywords in domain. The issue of domains and which keywords go with it is a matter of page content.
Yes it can help quite a bit from my experience anyway. Not to say it's necessary but you will certainly need more backlinks without it.
