A keyword domain contains one or more descriptive words that relate to the content or business of the website. Examples include Insurance.com, Loans.com, and Hotels.com. Keyword domains were historically valued for their SEO benefits (exact-match domains), though search engines have reduced the weight of exact-match keyword domains over time. They remain valuable for type-in traffic and brand clarity.
