Description

Purchasing a domain name with your actual keywords in it can be very helpful with going out and getting links. No matter what even if somebody is just linking to you like http://www.yourkeywordsdomain.com you will still be getting relevant anchor text in your inbound links because your domain name has these keywords Smiling. Enjoy!

Great tip! I would definitely have to agree with this in most cases. Sometimes you have to maintain the brand name and it can be hard to squeeze in the keywords to the URL. But if you don't have a brand to worry about and are solely focusing on search engines then it is a great option.

Search engines cannot see the keywords in concatenated urls.

So in your example http://www.yourkeywordsdomain.com Google will not index on 'your', 'keywords' and 'domain'. You have to separate the words with a hyphen for that to happen.
