An exact match domain (or EMD) is a website domain that includes the keywords you're targeting right in the search results. Taking out keyword-stuffed domains was a reliable way to boost your search rankings, at least until Google caught on—which they always do when it comes to black-hat SEO tactics.

The EMD Update — for “Exact Match Domain” — is a filter Google launched in September 2012 to prevent poor quality sites from ranking well simply because they had words that match search terms in their domain names. When a fresh EMD Update happens, sites that have improved their content may regain good rankings.

Above all definition are correct, but as per experience I found beyond result of Google EMD updates. People still getting advantages of exact domain website on same keywords. I think this Google algorithm not working hardly.

An Exact Match Domain (EMD) is a URL that consists of the keyword or keyword combination which the website in question is supposed to be optimized for.
