How important is it to place the keywords you want to rank for in your domain name? Let's use a random example - if you want to rank for the keywords 'custom yoga mats', does registering the domain customyogamats.com really help you in the rankings? Is it necessary to even do this at all?
I read that using keywords in you domain can run the risk of being viewed as "ranking tricks" by the G bots. As a result, G can penalize you in the rankings. I found an interesting perspective on it here.
What do you guys think about this?
ps Any general rules of thumb as to how many times the keywords you want to rank for should be placed and repeated throughout your content?
