    Does it matter?

    Like

    would xboxgame.com be better than gamexbox.com

    If I was targetting the phrase xbox game ?

    Or does the word order just help with remembering the domain

    If the search engine looks at the domain like they do the title, headers, and writing in the body....i would say yes, it does matter but not too much.

    keyword prominence

    It matters if someone is searching with quotes. Doesn't matter if with no quotes.

    Well, people DO search with quotes. In several niches people are searching it with quotes for up to 90% of the time. I know, because it's in my stat.

    I personally also use quotes around 60% of the time.

    Of course if you are in a general niches people won't need the quotes.
