Domain stuffed with major keywords no longer help in SEO. You can might start to get rankings on domain name but might not able to rank well on other phrases, if you didn't worked on the right techniques along with the good strategy.

Right now EMD Concept is dead in Search Industry because Google has added Exact Match Domain Penalty Added in their algorithms. So it not good enough to buy EMD domains. It should be better buy a fresh domain because Google like fresh content. 

Putting the keywords in domain name can be useful but this shouldnt be considered as primary.

Your ranking should be reflective of the ACTUAL traffic and not just based on the static keyword which adds no VALUE to your customers. 

 

Id much rather have my keywords in the content, images, headings, pages, metatags, hashtags or illustrations to have my website and brand more recognized rather than just the url.
