The amazing thing is that this site is basically an "empty" PR0 Wordpress blog with only the Hello World post on it. Yahoo reported only 2 inlinks for this site. The more amazing thing is that this barren PR0 blog with only 2 backlinks is trumping www.chicagomusicexchage.com which is at No.7. If we scrutinize the details we can see that Vintage Guitars | Chicago Music Exchange | Electric Guitars | Fender Gibson Marshall Rickenbacker | Vintage Guitar Dealer is a PR4 supersite with a whopping 59,600 backlinks. Now how can a barren PR0 blog with 2 links far outrank a PR4 supersite with 59,600 links? The answer is in the power of having the exact keyword in the domain. These facts refutes your statement that "no matter which name you choose, your chances of hitting the right spot are just as good as anyone else's". And, in my opinion, Google has a sound rationale for giving enormous weight to having the exact keyword in the URL. If a searcher types in Sony , will you not be dismayed if you get, for example, mysony.com, a1sony.com, sonyreviews.com ahead of the real company website Sony USA?
