Abstract: I’ve wondered about the ongoing strength of exact match domains in the search engines for some time. It’s clear that they still improve the speed at which particularly a new site can rank for a given keyword. Though I seem to see ever so slightly fewer of them ranking as I research niches.
We also know that – more than ever since Penguin and Panda – “root domain authority” has had it’s weight jacked up in the algorithm. This is why we saw so many lenses and hubs and blogs rising to the service after Penguin.
These two ranking factors can be in opposition, and for those trying to rank in the engines, it’s important for us to know which is easier to rank for.

When you actually get into the market and start SEO, you inevitably find that some keywords that apparently had “28 global searches a month” or whatever, actually bring hundreds of visitors (happened to me just this week) and keywords that have “20 000 searches a month” don’t bring near as many.
