Rails 3 Routing to Add String to Home URL

Using Rails 3 routing, I'd like all visitors to the home page

http//mysite.com/

to see the URL 

http//mysite.com/mykeyword

in their browser URL.

In other words, all visits to the home page get redirected to

http//mysite.com/mykeyword

This is approximately the opposite of the typical route

root :to => "home#index"

or

match '/' => 'home#index'

where any controller name gets stripped off from the home page URL.

Instead I want every visit to the site home page to include "mykeyword" in the URL.

How?

Justin is correct, but I believe you also want a redirect. To do that:

match "/" => redirect("/mykeyword")

Try this:

match '/mykeyword' => "home#index"

You want visitors to still be on the homepage, but the url to say "www.mysite.com/mykeyword" right? If so, that should work.
