In the hands of a profficient SEO I would guess it will give a 30%+ advantage over a non keyword rich domain I can of course prove this.

The MAIN benefit is that every single one of your links, including the top directories, will probably use your main keywords in the links. It would be a brave, stuupid, drumnk or all 3 man who would deny this

From what I have seen key words after the domain name seem to boost perfomance aswell, so the likes of -

http://www.dragonfly-services.co.uk/...me+day+courier

http://www.dragonfly-services.co.uk/...me+day+courier

http://www.dragonfly-services.co.uk/...me+day+courier

can only help rankings?

Domain names.....

I'm a complete novice at SEO etc etc.

I've spent ages trying to find a suitable name for a biz I joined today.....

I did what you suggested and tried to find something that reflects the site to some extent.

www.winnersbets.com

Just a forwarding domain though, so I know that will have an effect.

Never know whether to add meta and keywords to fowarding options or just direct without them.

Do they make much difference ?

true but it is one element amongst many that will improve your chances of getting a top spot.

A lot of top sites are there based on the strength of the site e.t.c.

A few years ago it did not seem to matter what domain you used ,but these days it has all changed and googles algo is now crap IMHO.
