Keywords in domain name, is it important ?

I guess incorporating keywords in domain matters when it comes to working on SEO stuff.

If you are a startup, the answer is yes, having a domain with good keywords within it is good for SEO. But, you should make it as short as possible for a more user-friendly. After your domain online presence got popular, you may 301 redirect it to a simpler, short, easy to remember, and easy to spell domain name.

Yes you should buy it. EMD (Exact Match Domain) is one of the most important factor in SEO, if your domain includes the main keyword then you have a better chance to get the high ranking on search engine SERPs

Thats' a great idea from beginning of web developing - seo! Domain name with keywords is an advantage of SEO that you have. It's easier to get better SERPs. But it should not be so long, that would helps users to remember your domain easily.

EMD is long time ago. Google have changed.
When I first started doing MMO choose EMD is extremely important. Nowadays people usually use Brand name domain.
Using Brand name will build trust for your visitors and Google too I think

Exact match domains and keyword rich names are having more value in Bing, than in Google. Bing tends to show up them in search results more quickly.
