In a previous post, I asked about the contents of the URL string (after the domain name). There were a very interesting and enlighting responses:

I have now another question, it is regarding the actual domain name part of the URL.

The question is: With respect to SEO, How important is the domain name in a URL search string, and is it worth repeating the keyword in the URL? I am using a non-Dot-com domain name just for the heck of it.

Which would the search engine give priority when the search string is:
"examples of resumes"

Example 1:

http://examples.cc/of-resumes

Example 2:

http://examples.cc/examples-of-resumes

So, is the actual domain taken as part of the phrase that somebody would be searching for?

Thanks in advance.

How much weight google puts on the keywords in URL itself. That only google knows.

But generally I would says use the keyword as page name.

So the 2nd option would be better.
