I check the search result,find a good domain is so important.
If a domain has the right keyword of the website,its rank is more higher than other.
But good domain is hard to get,or very long to remenber,so what to do if i don't have a good domain,Except for buying one?

All things being equal a domain with part of the search phrase will do better than the same content without. But all things are never equal.

The domain name is important because, in theory, it describes what your site is about. Since you can't change it all the time as you go after new keywords, the engines can assume most people will pick a good name for their site.

Search engines, especially Google, do seem to give added weight to exact match domain names. It makes sense since if you're searching for something like 'home depot' the chances are you're looking for the Home Depot website.

If you can get a great domain then you should, but like Forrest said your domain isn't the only way to rank and there are probably many more keywords you could rank for then the ones you think you need in your domain name.

The right domain is great to have and it's one reason they sell for a lot of money. But you can be successful without the perfect domain name.

The good domain for now is not available so you can put - between your domain main I think that's can help.

You are completely wrong.

The domain name has little to absolutely no bearing at all for ranking.
