This is very old topic but if you use Keywords in the url, you can get good benefits but in that case you have no brand building of your web site

Yes, it does affects one ranking for a keywor because SE will first of all recognise that URL for having its keyword on its name.
So it is good to have a keyword optimized domain name.

I would say that having the keyword in the URL can be one of the most important driving forces towards SEO success.

URL is the most important seo onpage element. All search engines are looking first URL and after this title, metadata and content. So the most important keyword must take place in your URL.

You are correct. This is one if not the most important thing to consider if you want to top in your selected keyword.

Selecting a good URL is very useful for branding especially if it's your exact company name. It's easy to remember and might be helpful in directing traffic to your website.

[janicejan]

it's not that much important for me, for example sites such as facebook, twitter and other many more doesn't have keyword rich url. what really matters is a content and an easy to be remembered or catchy url.

The keyword is more important for a site.

BestEast SEO services did a series tests that show

1. keywords in URL are taken into account by Google, MSN (beta), Yahoo! and Exalted algorithms.
2. This test does not show how much it helps for your ranking compared to other criteria. When constructing URL directory and URL file names, use targeted and relevant keywords.
3. If you use several keywords in your URLs, use hyphens as dividers and not underscores.
4. while Ask Jeeves, Lycos, Teoma, WiseNut, Voila does not have same result to use keywords in URL.
