HTML: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/are-exact-match-domains-in-decline It looks like ranking for EMDs and PMDs (partial match domains, ie. bluewidgetdeals.com) suffered a decline. It's no news for me, I've seen a lot of PMDs domain of mine wiped out from the SERP after the Penguin (I think it has to do with overoptimized anchor texts, btw). What's your experience with EMDs/PMDs after the Penguin Update? Did your Adsense/Affiliate site suffer a decline (and how did you handle it)?
No decline at all and i have 100+ sites and have around 65 EMD'S still ranking in number 1 spots. So.... not sure where they are seeing a decline.
Well my partial exact match domain just come back from penguin after two months, and it is ranking for strong keywords.
