domain name with key words

[dougie]

Here's the scenario, names changed where needed. You're in the holiday business dealing with holidays in Toronto, Canada.
You see from the monthly stats that 30294 people searched using the word canada and 2850 people used the word toronto when doing a search.
Would you use canada in the domain name or toronto?

Hi I would go for www.holiday-toronto.com/canada
because that was avalible :-)

And i still belive in kw´s in domain names.

domains with keyword density that have content with the same keywords always seem to be ranked VERY highly.

On the flipside if you have a BROAD content base, do the opposite - create a branded domain and work on good content with good keyword/titles/descriptions/H1/H2/Italic and bold matches. If your a broad site and you have super high keyword match from domain for only 1 keyphrase it isn't easy to garnish as much traffic unless you have something you can use to brand your content as well.

I think keyword in domain is not important ... am i wrong?

[nakulgoyal]

pepelu, No one thing is important. I would say a collection of all and a nice blend works well.

It seems a balance of both is a smarter idea.
Try to build content depth coupled with a
relevant keyword domain. Sounds easy :)
