Hello
is a Domain with Keyword(name) god or bad for SEO?
 
Exact keyword, usually not that great unless it makes sense. Partial keywords are the best imo.
 
16 characters out low end keywords :)
 
neither. Google doesn't favor EMDs anymore (Bing does, though), but that doesn't mean they're gonna penalize your site if it's EMD.

If you're doing your keyword research properly and get the right backlinks you're still gonna rank (source: I have an EMD domain that ranks)
 
It is good to use your url in your keyword, If it's have decent moderate character.
Otherwise, short attractive catchy keyword with less competition
 
I have EMDs and they perform better than regular domains. You need branding and off-page SEO for it to work.
 
Not a big deal these days
If the first batch of all articles answer queries regarding something specific, you get a little bit of TA
 
I am using EMDs always - for me non-EMDs does not ranking on target keywords at all, or ranking at very low positions.
EMDs always ranking on target keywords in much better positions.
 
My Pratical Views:
1. Keyword with Domains takes much more time to Rank.
2. Those Domains doesn't automatically Rank, We will have to work harder
 
Partially Match Domain, i have test 4 sites, and the one with PMD rank more faster.
 
Nowadays its almost irrelevant. It used to be good.

Just to make sure, don't try to get a 40 character long domain just because it includes your keyword.
 
EMDs could do get an overall boost for the easy niches/keywords, but don't expect wonders,
for a reliable business, brand name plays a much better role and including keyword make it just not suitable for this
 
Of course, adding keywords in the domain is good. Keep the characters in less count and make sure you add only relevant content.
 
Thanks you all :)
How long does it take to rank in Google?
