Use a branded domain name instead of one that’s stuffed with keywords. The search engines see right through it and will penalize you accordingly.

If you have been using exact match domain sites, I would suggest planning a new course of action in the coming months.

However I do think that having the correct keywords in a domain do help. It's all about adding elements into your SEO mix that will deliver great SEM. If your site is about "cars" then having a domain name with "cars" in it will add value. It does however still need the full backing of a clean, white hat approach to your SEO to ensure long term success.......it shouldn't be the foundation of your strategy!

Instead of micro-sites, is it useful to just point these additional domain names to specific sections of the main site. For example, suppose I own petsupplies.com and also dogleashes.com. Is it better for the second name to point to a specific section in petsuppliesl.com that has detailed content about dogleasehes or is a carfully designed micro-site better? In the micro-site case, you have the potential to host that on a different IP address which would make it look more like a separate entity. Pointing the domain name will show the same IP which I thought was "sniffed out" by google and downgraded since it is obvious self promotion even it there is value provided for the user.
