SEO Question : Are keywords in URL and domain name important? And how does it differ across various search engines?

SEO Answer: Through the discussion from WebProWorld forums, and search engine journal, it give us a clear picture that, keyword in domain names are not important for Google, moderately important for Yahoo and it is somewhat a major ranking factor when it comes to MSN / Live Search.

Exact keyword domain is more important for people, it make people easy memorise. Advantage of having keywords in the domain name helps to improve CTR (click thru rate) since the URL with the keyword gets bolded in the search results which grabs more attention of the searchers.

PageRank (PR) - How to increase it?

PageRank (PR) is a link analysis algorithm. Anything over 300+ algorithm page rank is one of the most popular signals to boost Google SERP. PR ranges from 0 to 10, and of course the higher the rank, the better.

PR calculation from the year 2007 is not very accurate, but it gives us a raw idea of how it is calculated.

Through the chart below, we can conclude that getting a few backlinks from authoritative sites is much more effective than getting hundreds of backlinks from low quality sites. A website that barely qualifies for PR 5 may only have 5,033 votes, while a very strong PR 5 website might have 27,213 votes.
