Having your keyword in your domain name is really important. Usually, it makes your journey to the top 10 very easy since you will be optimizing for the same keywords both in On Page seo and Off Page seo (tags in links) Hope this helps Br Seo_genius
I agree with the majority here, keywords are extremely important, you will get more traffic and faster for whatever topic your creating. I had a really old domain i never used and it is rated pretty high for its terms
Not as important as you might think. For example, type in "News" into google, the first result is CNN.com.
I consider it very important...my strategy is to have microsites with "key term rich" domains pointing to your main corporate site for link building purposes but I feel that it's very important to have those microsites ranking as high as possible for the key term that the domain includes.
What I will say once again from my past experience is a Big NOOOOOOOOOOOO Domains are just 1 of the important factors used for ranking !!
Its important but not that much. About my knowledge Google algorithms work like this... primarily it looks keywords in Title of the page...Description of the page...then only it will check keywords at domain name. So Branding or Optimization is will get more easier when Domain is itself key word...
