    It is hugely beneficial. The search engine bot gives the domain the highest preference when showing up results. then comes the url, then the title tag and the content. If all of the above are relevant to each other, then the ranking will be optimal.

    certainly no, until you will not work on other factors as well.

    You will need to look at all the words around, such as waying up the word company against agency or organisation. what is more searched for?
    The domain name is not the be all and end all of SEO there is alot more to it. It can help a little but for something like SEO company you will be compeating against people that should know there SEO so the domain might not help that much

    A keyword in the domain is a huge benefit for sure. It is an major factor of algorithm as far as i think.
    but if you don't have keyword in the domain its not the end of the road as well.

    I notice when people type in keyword in google search, the most domain which are in the first page of Google is the one which has this keyword in the domain name. However we must still do promotion and build backlinks, but having domain which keyword in it helps.

    Totally agree. Although it is not the only factor. But getting keyword in your domain definitely gives you a big advantage among others.
    Also, it gives your visitors an idea what type of site/service you are running.
    Though you still need to work on your SEO for Google to put you on top 10 of search.

    As others have said, having your main keyword in your domain does have lots of SEO benefits. YET, that alone will not do the work. For example, I have three main keywords and I rank pretty well in SERPS and NONE of the keywords are in my domain. Therefore, SEO tactics are extremely important. Not having the keyword in domain will mean that you need to work a little bit harder in order to make your site place well in SERPS but it is NOT impossible. You just have to know how to do it, do it the right way, and only using white hat SEO methods.

    What if I use subdomain instead of main domain such as; nokia-e93.domain.com. It is still have the keywords in front. Because, it is pretty save your cost but yet very effective. Also, you can try to use page file as your main keywords such as domain.com/nokia-e93.

    What's your opinion bout this guys?

    In my own experiences, having keywords in domain names would be helpful for ranking purpose and it would also be a nice domain for users to remember easily.

    all the best,
