Brandable VS Keyword domains (Nowadays)

[RU]

Which, a brandable domain (5-8L's) or keyword domains (12-16L's), can bring me into the most traffic and most importantly money with the least amount of time, money and effort invested?

For example, what's the best: webxyz.com or somethingdomains.com / namebrightly.com

:santa:

webxyz.com or somethingdomains.com / namebrightly.com

cannot see anything that stands out from these, all are diffucult to memorize

unless the keyword has organic traffic, I don't think either would matter. content these days will determine how you get ranked and how many visitors you will have.

you get back what you put in,

Thanks for providing this information.

I look this video - How important is it to have keywords in a domain name? (Matt Cutts 2011). His focus is on answering a users question regarding whether to go for a brandable domain name (Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo, Google) or keyword-rich domain name (BuyViagraOnline). Matt Cutts gives brandable domain names a thumbs-up and says that you don’t need a keyword optimized domain name for SEO success.
But I tried to search "buy viagra online" and what I see. Top 3 in SERP.

The first candy related store in the search results is CandyShoppe.com. Yummyco.com comes right after.

A keyword "candy" is listed higher than a non key word "yummy" unless you consider yummy a keyword for candy.

You actually see more domains containing keywords in the first few pages than brands.
