How important is your url for googlerank?

Okay,
I just purchased a url that is the exact same as a two word keyword that gets "apparently" 550,000 global monthly searches according to the Google Keyword Tool. So the keyword is xxxxx yyyyy and my url is xxxxxyyyyy.com. I bought it because that big number of searches excited me, but will having this url really help me promote my website via seo? Or does it not really matter?

    It will get you quick ranking for the keyword alone in the url, however it won't stay there long unless you have quality content related to the keywords.

    I had one website hit page one on google in 4 days, keeping it there is another story, fresh relevant content and some backlinking will be required to make it stick.

    URL is one piece of the algorithym but there are many pieces. Dont just think that because you have a good keyword rich URL that you will automatically be rich.

    Make sure you tackle each piece of the SEO puzzle...


    but awesome job on finding a great URL!!

        As always, a little behind on PMs and emails. Maybe if it would actually rain here in Jersey I could catch up on all these!!!

        Just having a keyword rich domain name will not magically allow you to keep up your rank for a competive search term, if that is all you do.

        Bingo...I agree!

    it will give it that initial boost which you need to get this site going which will make it easier but these is still a lot of backlinking and quality content needed.

    You have to perform the brass tacks of SEO even though it will help you greatly in ranking well for the search term.
