My site is nowhere to be found in the top 1000 of google for the keyword seocontest2008 , this happen after an attack on my site by the name noobgeek . That cracker deleted my post and created a new post containing “hacked by noobgeek”, luckily I have a backup on my host. Try site:seocontest2008.org and you’ll see the cache page of my site.
Hope my site get back on the front page again 
Are keyword rich domain given more weight by Google ? We have seen several keyword rich domains who were finalist in every SEO Contest. We’ve seen a lot site who’s ranking high for it’s own keyword domain and given a priority to become authority sites.
Authority sites are basically a status that is awarded to a website, so that it occupies the topmost position in any search engine result.
Speaking thru my past experience and the current contest, Google really giving more weight to keyword rich domain as we currently notice that my entry to seocontest2008 is indexed on the 2nd day of the competition and rank in the top 10 spot on the same day.
Though owning the domain name doesn’t guarantee that google will list you first or guarantee of top rank, you need to work and learn different aspect of SEO / SEM .
