My company name is Location Keyword.com. The key search term is location keyword. Most of my links have anchor text of my company name, Location Keywords.com. Does the .com part hurt me in relation to that search?

I would be amazed if it mattered much.
I didn't think so before, but I now believe that "keyword1 keyword2" is slightly better anchor text than "keyword1 keyword2 keyword3". The difference, though, is very small.

Ok, what about 'Lake Location Keyword at Location Keyword.com' as the title where there are two important searches. The first and most competitive is 'lake location keyword' and the second (about 60% of the first's searches) is 'location keyword'. The site is optomised for location keyword including 90% incoming of anchor text as well as the url. Does the fact that keyword.com has no spaces hurt me for 'location keyword' or is that irrelevant because of the dot? Does including 'Lake' first hurt me for 'location keyword' significantly? Is it too repetitive (for Google, I mean)?

As a practice I just use the keywords in the title tags compared to having also the .com part added to it. I have a site just recently that I included the .com in some of the pages to check to see how it matters, if it does but I have it KeyWordKeyWord2.com without any spacing. Ill letcha know how the results are happening and how the keywords pick up with it. If your wanting to brand with your .Com keywords try something like 'KeyWord-Keyword.com All about Keywords and Keywords' :)

I wouldn't worry about the dot, Powdork. As far as I know, dots are spaces in Google.
