Are Keywords in domain name important?

According to my observation one keyword domains ranks best in search engines. More than one keyword becomes fuzzy. If you have a long domain name and are curious what keywords might be found in it, try deckey.com.

The words in your domain name make a big difference in how the search engines view your website. If the word or phrase someone searches in Google is in your domain then you will rank higher for that search. Strong keywords and phrases also help people remember your domain.

Keywords are important however there are some domain names that don't have keywords but are very popular. Just for the sake of optimizing a website on the search engines then a keyword domain name is important.
