Redirect 'keyword-url' to improve ranking?

[Jan-Peter]

I was wondering if a good url, with a keyword in it, can help you improve the position of that certain keyword by redirecting that url to your website.

To make it clear: We run the website www.terello.nl, and have the possibility to let the url www.iphonereparatie.nl (translation: iphonerepair) redirect to our website. Would this help us to rank for the keyword 'iPhone reparatie'?

I hope that I made myself clear this way:) Otherwise i'm more than happy to clearify myself!

Hi Jan-Peter Boer,

10 years ago, this tactic would have probably helped your situation. Modern algorithms will all but ignore it and will provide you with no benefit. The only way it would help is if the keyword-rich domain had a bunch of high quality, topically relevant links pointing to it, which then by way of redirect, would be pointing to your main domain.

Thanks Logan Ray! That makes sense. So without a strong DA the url is practically useless right now. I think we better sell this nice url than.
