IMO keyword in url is very important, it really helps over time. If you have an old website that already have a good ranking then it’s not really necessary if you change your domain but if you’re starting a new site, it’s best to get a domain with your keyword in and if possible get an old domain.

@ CFernandes care to add a little context why you believe that to be so?

I do think that they are a factor.

The most permanent thing your website has is its doman name. For this reason, any keywords in the domain name are likely to reflect the content of the site.
