---- Is it time for Google to tone down the URL component of their Algo?

I have to agree on this point that has probably been rehashed several times. In a keyphrase that I just recently established I have found that a site that is actually SELLING the domain name along with hundreds of othes ranks better than an un-optimized page that just has the keyword in the title. I am a bit tired of the 'link text' arguement to this debate because I think that point is moot to the debate. Google DOES give prevalence to URLS with keywords in the title. The question is weather or not the favoritism is intentional or unintentional. Either way I think keyword-rich-urls are here to stay. I just wish they'd crack down on people SELLING their domain names and obtaining high listings.
