keywords in url for google not so important?

[Bodyag]

Ive read somewhere, maybe here that keywords in the url are not so important for google ranking but are for yahoo?

Is this true?

IM so new to this! Id love to know in a few words ( if anyone one would be so kind) whats the most important thing to have sorted for good SEO? keyword density? inbound links?

Great content, good page navigation, quality backlinks.

In my opinion, keywords in your URL are important (in the domain more so than in the file extension name) because when you get backlinks, you can bet on a good portion of them being http://www.yourdomain.com. So if you are trying to rank for the keyword "your domain," getting backlinks that say http://www.yourdomain.com as the anchor text will help a lot.

Many ingredients go into recipes when cooking. Some are more important than others. I consider this lower on the list of importance.
