    An exact match domain is a domain using the exact keyword phrase that you are targeting.

    Example- You choose to target "Bright Orange Fish" then the exact match domain would be- www.brightorangefish.com

    If a domain name is singaporetourpackages.com /.net. it is EMD because singapore tour packages is a keyword. It is removal of the advantage previously given to EMD's and only for domains' that have low quality content and only 1 or 2 pages .

    if you have and health site and your targeting keyword is "dermaroller".
    with domain name "dermaroller.com" is the EMD.

    Exact Match Domains are the domains that contain the exact keyword or phrase. Exact-Match Domains, also known as EMDs, are considered to work as a catalyst in improving the SEO ranking of a website, but it doesn't happen every time because of Google's changing algorithms.

        Yes, there has been a lot of talk of this recently as Matt Cutts has directly spoke about it.

        If you have a EMD that offers some good content and value to the users, then it should not be effected too heavily, but for EMD's with one page of 300 words will struggle for positions unless they have good backlinks or large active social media followings.
