Another week, another funky Matt Cutts video. In this video he tackles the question of "Is there an SEO advantage to registering domains that have your keywords?"

Now if you are still on the fence, let me just give you a bit of color. that we have looked at the rankings and the weights that we give to keyword domains, & some people have complained that we are giving a little too much weight for keywords in domains. So we have been thinking about at adjusting that mix a bit and sort of turning the knob down within the algorithm, so that given 2 different domains it wouldn?t necessarily help you as much to have a domain name with a bunch of keywords in it. ?

This might get people to get up and exert a little bit of extra effort in optimizing pages on keyword domain sites instead of just letting the domain do the heavy lifting.
