What keyword to put on permalink to get page one rank

[otaku3230]

Let suppose if I want to rank in for single keyword like "thanking" .

Then which will have a better impact to get faster page one rank if someone searching for exact word "thanking". Is it:

www.example.com/thanking

Or

www.example.com/thanking-us

The keyword itself won't be in the domain name. So which wuld be the better choice solely on this criteria?

I would just use the keyword, if you can, target the main page rather than an interior page.

Why do you say that?

Why add extra words to the URL if youre not trying to tank for them? It just makes sense to keep it simple.

Regarding the domain, I believe root domains rank better and easier than intrnal pages.
