What is the importance of using keywords in the URls of the site pages? How does it help crawlers?

Using KW in domain name is a great idea. I do it, and it has helped with my SEO campaigns.

URL or domain name doesn't really have any real SEO benefits. It boils down to linkbuilding. Whatever URL you choose, your ranking only depends on the quality links you build for your site.

No relations at all but it helps for common people to remember your site. Other than that, keywords are use for promotions.

it has big effect on the serp, if you use your keyword on the url google will count the keyword and might give you relevant point to that.

None at all. URL doesn't have an effect on SEO or crawling per se. But you should choose a domain that's easy to remember.

Pick a domain name that's easy to remember but just build great backlinks and you'll be fine.

I guess the important of having your keywords in your Uniform Resource Locator is it helps your site to rank on that particular keyword.

Keyword on domain name is worth in initial time of your site but worth less and less across domain age. Domain age high -> keyword on domain worth less

I've found that all the times I use exact match domains I rank quickly and well, those times I didn't, not so good. Might be coincidence, the debate continues.

Cheers

When visitors search information on google search engine then its spiders starts searching relevant information from URL, title tags, keywords, meta description and then come on written content of sites or blogs. Therefore using keywords in URL is beneficial for better SERP.
