When you are learning seo or checkout the list of most important things in seo then you will know how important the domain name/url is and how important the tld of the domain is.
Things are changing now.
SEO IS CHANGING point 1
I recently checked out some results and found out that domain name with keywords in it is not given that high a priority it used to get.
When you make a search in google with the term Bed bugs how to get rid of them then http://www.bedbugshowtogetridofthem.com and Bed-Bugs-How-To-Get-Rid-Of-Them.com are not to be found in the top 100 search engine rankings.
SEO IS CHANGING point 2
The second point i noticed is that .com is not always the king. Earlier we used to see only .com in top rankings but it is not so now.
When you make a search of Seo bing on Google then you will see that http://www.seobing.info and seobing.net rank higher than seobing.com
