Welcome to the Q&A Forum

This is exactly  what I'm trying to determine as well.   My initial findings tilt toward very low seo value but haven't found a definitive answer.

From what I have seen so far the exact match keyword domain is still a big factor.  Top 3 in my estimate but it would make sense for that to dip a bit as it makes it almost too easy to get a site highly ranked without doing much else except buying that domain.

Well you're correct that it doesn't have that many searches for it but incorrect when making a statement that others big sites are not SEOing for it.  Also missing the big picture that this page (as it isn't even a site) with zero content beats out huge sellers of burton snowboards.  
Also this keyword beats out buy burton snowboards in search volume.

Here are examples of sites that actually target this exact keyphrase:
http://www.tactics.com/burton/boards/sale - Title + H1

http://www.specialtysports.com/Burton-snowboards-s/244.htm H1

http://www.gearbuyer.com/bc/burton/snowboarding/snowboards/index.html?on_sale=1&price_range=100  Title and H1

Plus hundreds of "affiliate" sites that use the phrase in titles/body.   We have used affiliate sites as well but I think I would concentrate on buying a specific domain first if possible before going that route from now on.  The good ones are definitely not cheap.

To be honest I think this makes "gaming" rankings almost too easy.  But from what I have seen it it is a top 3 factor.

Another great example is home insurance quotes.  High volume high competition phrase.  $17.44 per click!
#3 is <cite>www.homeinsurancequotes.org! </cite>

Want to beat giants like progressive.com or Geico for that term?  Here is how to do it.  Maybe most SEOs are still in belief that this isn't a big deal anymore but that just makes it easier for me to beat them.

I still think exact match keyword domain is more powerful than the most recent consensus.  I originally have thought that they (exact match domains) get the boost because of the natural anchor text but I have an example that recently blew me away.

Do a search for Burton snowboards on sale - or - B****urton snowboards sale

#5 result is www.burtonsnowboardsonsale.com and it has ZERO on-page or off-page factors EXCEPT domain keyword match.  No incoming links not even a functional page.

I have seen the video where Matt Cutts has stated about editing their algo so that this factor is not that important but obviously it hasn't happened yet.

That's my humble opinion.

Having a hard time making this math add up.

If we use the link from http://www.holdenouterwear.com/shop.php as an example.

It has mozRank of 5.56 and the URL mozRank passed to my site is 0.00051

So does this mean there are 10901 links on this page?  Clearly there are not.

Thanks Daniel.  Great explanation

Hello,

Hoping someone can help me understand the difference between the Domain Juice Passed and some interesting numbers found in the exported CSV file.

I ran the Advanced Link Intelligence Report and focusing on the Links to Domain metrics.  It looks like the report is sorted by mozRank passed but next to each link we are given the DJ Passed instead.  Why is that?

My confusion is compounded by the fact that when I export the CSV of this report it no longer includes the DJ Passed numbers but does show URL mozRank Passed instead.

For Example, on the web version of the Advanced Link Intelligence Report the top link is:

http://www.holdenouterwear.com/shop.php with mozRank: 5.56 mozTrust: 5.95 and DJ Passed: 4.49

In the CSV file we don't get the DJ passed but get the URL mozRank Passed of: 0.00051

Looking at the CSV file further some links have URL mozRank Passed of 4.00E-05

Anyone has a clear explanation of why DJ Passed is not in the CSV file and how the mozRank passed is calculated?  And what the 4.00E-05 mean?

Thank you.
