Does domain name affect SEO?

[seochamp]

It’s important to note that using any other keywords in the domain name will negate the ranking benefit of having the keyword in the domain name. For example, mytravelinsurance.com.au will not have the same ranking effect for ‘travel insurance’ as travelinsurance.com.au but it will rank for ‘my travel insurance’.

Additionally, having a .net, .biz or any other extension apart from the .com version will not assist with your SEO rankings – you must have the .com or localised .com version (eg .com.au) of the domain name to rank highly for that keyword.

It depends on the name which you choosing..

while in a competitive niche it doesnt affect much, on a easy keyword they do rank highly.

So it helps in a way to rank for better keywords in tier 2.
