I'm only guessing - BUT are the keywords in the url only good for the highlighting of the keywords - to the searcher.
They would think that the entry is more relevant to them - giving the page more chance of a click through.
Like in adwords where the keywords in the title are emphasised? Click through rates are increased thereby lowering the cost per click.
