Benefits of Keyword Domains
Drives Traffic
Better positioning in search results. All things being equal, a keyword domain can help your website rank higher since your domain name matches the desired keyword or phrase that was searched. Higher search rankings result in more leads coming to your website!
Limited Supply
Keyword domains are in limited supply. Most keyword domain names are taken. But you can own your business keyword domain for life. And keep this advantage out of the hands of your competitors. Limited supply always carries a premium in valuation.
Direct Navigation
Direct Navigation happens when a user types a keyword or phrase into the address bar of their web browser and appends a .com. This type-in traffic ranges from tens to tens of thousands of unique visitors per month, depending on the keyword or phrase.
Domain Authority
The most important benefit of a keyword domain name. They have immediate recognition by users as being authoritative. That instinctual preference to select the exact match domain name in search results builds your reputation with users.
Keyword rich domains make achieving high rankings easier in a way that is very tangible and understandable to anyone who has even lightly dabbled in SEO: they require fewer links.Keyword Domain Study - CanIRank.com

Keyword domains will continue to be in high demand by business owners and website publishers because users implicitly trust them like brands, they receive type-in traffic, they rank more easily in search engine results, and the supply is limited.DomainSherpa.com
