simply i can say that Keyword plays a vital role in SEO.

 

It's always good to use keyword in URL.
Let me give you an example,
If your website related to franchise business ok,

you should select domain name like,

best-franchises-uk.com

than for the internal page you can go ahead with the same.

if you have an internal page which sells franchise you should select an URL like:

best-franchises-uk.com/franchises-for-sale.html

If your business targeting to a specific country than select

best-franchises.co.uk/franchises-for-sale.html

which makes good sense, believe me.

and don't select URL like,

bestfranchisesuk/franchisesforsale.html

which will not make any keyword sense for search engines.

It is very helpful that your keywords include in your URL... domain name is really helpful...

 

Keywords in the URL, especially in the domain/subdomain name carry alot of weight today. Examples are blogger, squidoo, hubpages, etc. which can easily get you a top 10 ranking for not too competitive long tail terms by just choosing the right subdomain/directory name and adding a few links to get the page crawled.

 

You should use keyword in the url.

 

thanks for informations.
