Keyword Named Domains
The case of exact match domains is a quirky one. As Allen stated above _"Google will penalize your site if it has site links from sites that are not indexed by Google, and Google wont index a site with no content." _ I would launch those domains with good quality, relevant content that links back to your main site. Also exact match domains are frowned upon by Google anyway as many exact match domains have been penalized the past year. In the end take these domains and have them add value o your niche and you won't lose.

Moz reporting incorrect ranking
Hi Theresa, Thanks for writing in and sorry that your rankings are looking off in the Web App. I'm not sure why you would be getting different results in the Web App rankings than you would be getting when you run the searches yourself; it could be a lot of things. The search engines - Google, Yahoo! & Bing - all maintain multiple indices that run across multiple datacenters. This means if you query different datacenters, you can get somewhat different ranking results. Other elements, such as personalization, geography and search history (even if you're logged out of your Google/search engine account) can also influence ranking positions. Hence, there can be a lot of variation in what different people, searching from different computers/locations might see in the rankings. Our solution has been to run searches from a variety of IP addresses and IP blocks using non-personalized, search history/location agnostic requests. In our experience, these have provided the most accurate results, showing what the "most" users see, though we know there's still quite a bit of room for fluctuation. If you have suggestions about how we might improve the technical process of fetching rankings data to get better data, please let us know and we'll pass it on to our engineering team. We're always looking for ways to get you better data. In the meantime, I can try to see if it's a bug on our side if you can let us know by emailing help@moz.com and provide... 1. The campaign that is having this issue 2. The login email address for the account that the campaign is part of 3. The keyword and URL combination that is having discrepancies 4. The ranking that you're getting in Google versus what the Web App tells you. This way I'll be able to check it out on my side to see if it's a bug or something else. Thanks so much! Hope that helps! Peter Moz help team.
