I have a domain name, ex. keywordshop.com. Is this considered to have the keyword in url even though the word "shop" is at the end of it? Or, would I need to have keyword.com specifically for that rule to apply? Fyi, this is for my homepage.

If not, how can make it so it's considered to be in my url?

    Sure, if your keyword is shop.. however picking out a domain name should a technical process.. finding something with strong branding and a solid keyword phrase should pretty much direct you where you go.

        Yes. That would be OK, although the preference would be to have exact domain match.

      Check your perma links.

      Also, don't worry about the keyword in the domain. Do it how ever you want to my friend. At the end of the day if you stick to it, no matter what domain, you'll eventually make it.

      So if i sold apples..i would do something like crunch.com..

      Domains don't matter. only thing that matters is your game plan.

      What is your end goal, will you be running this site 5yrs from now?
