Does google exact match domain name bonus work if the keywords are reversed?

[adriandg]

For example, we all know that there is a ranking boost to having a domain name: http://bluewidgets.com when someone searches for "blue widgets".

But would the domain name http://widgetsblue.com also get a bonus in the serp for "blue widgets" ?

Also, i would like to know if it is a bad idea to point three or four keyword1keyword2.com type domain names at your main domain in an attempt to boost rankings for those keywords.  Is this they type of behavior that would get penalized by google?

For example, how http://redacted.name points to http://www.nikolasschiller.com and thus making him rank #1 for the search term "redacted name" despite the fact that OSE shows 0 backlinks with "redacted name" in them for http://www.nikolasschiller.com and he does not even mention "redacted name" anywhere in the content of his homepage.

That's not exact match.

This will not produce the desired results.

If keywords are reversed or switched, the "bonus" effect is vanished to most extent but its still better off than a domain with no keyword at all. Having keyword in a domain does give you an advantage in terms of ranking at least in the short run. Its worth noting that Google has been reducing the weight of exact match keywords and also 'keywords' usage in domains in general.
