Domain Level Keyword Usage
Pulled from the 2011 SEOmoz search engine rankings factors I felt it was important to emphasize this chart (Domain Level Keyword Usage – Correlated Data).
The data is generated based on opinions from 132 different SEO’s. The chart represents the average of these opinions from most important to least important. It is important to note that even though domain level keyword usage has decreased from year to year, there is still a lot of weight on exact match keyword domain. It is also surprising to me that the second highest value comes from a domain name with the keyword phrase in the actual domain i.e. keywordsomething.com. Thoughts on this data? I am curious to hear what others think.
