      Hi mozers, I just need to know that is EMD (Exact match domain) or partially EMD can get more better results or not?
       Experts can input there suggestions to improve rank strategies as well.

      Thank You,

        Hi Muhammad,

        An exact match or partial match domain can help yes, but it is not such an effective strategy as it once was because Google has tweaked its algorithm against it a little, plus people tend to be a little bit suspicious of those type of domains these days.

        If you have an older domain for your business then you are better off using and optimising a site with that which can include using search engine friendly URLs which can be just as effective and of course can be different.

        I hope that helps,

        Peter

          You are referring to PMD(partial) and EMD(exact). They are still ranking factors in these and although Google is not punishing these domains they are devaluing the ranking factor to these type of domains.

          This is not necessarily going against PMD & EMD, its just means there are many other factors that come into play before PMD & EMD.

          One thing you can refer to is: http://mozcast.com/metrics

          There will be a chart for EMD and PMD to show you the change in rankings of EMD and PMDs.
