My current keyword on the page that I am going to try to rank for isn't in the domain name but it will be in the title of the page is it possible to ever beat out a site that has the keyword in the domain & page title or is there just not enough links in the world that would out rank that site?

    There are tons of websites that rank for keywords not in their url so there isn't any reason you can't do the same. Exact domain match may give a bit of a boost but it's not the only factor.

      I would suggest that you try to get your keyword somewhere in the URL... whether you make a subdirectory or new folder:

      mysite.com/keyword/index.html (html)
      mysite.com/keyword/ (worpdress)
      keyword.mysite.com

      But Tina is right. Of course you can rank your site for ANY keywords you want! You're just going to have to put in the extra work and effort!

      CHEERS!

        Sure you can, keywords in the domain do give you a boost but nothing that can't be overtaken by link building.
