: Do premium domain names help us with other languages too? It's commonly known that premium domains with one or two relevant keywords may help us improve our rankings in SERPS. But would it

@Cofer257

Using a foreign word in the domain (e.g. ouro.com) is unlikely to show search results for an English word (e.g. gold) even if it is a direct translation. The oppposite is true as well - gold.com would not give the "domain boost" when searching for ouro.

Note: You can still rank perfectly well for those terms since you can have keywords in the rest of the URL and on the page. The only difference is the domain name does not contribute to the ranking.

Additional notes:


It's possible that if lots of people searched for one term then the other, Google may pick it up as a spelling correction or synonym. Spelling corrections only happen if one keyword has a much higher number of results than the one searched for. And there are not many people who will search for a word, and then the English translation.
Having keywords in the domain does help, whatever the language. So ouro.com would be likely to rank high for ouro. Preferably one would also use a country-specific TLD (.co.uk for UK, .de for Germany, etc) to get better local rankings.
The exact match domain boost isn't a massive boost so it's better to focus on content. Using a more unique domain/site name can also help in branding.
