Lots of people in SEO industry are still worried about having keywords in their domain names, So are they worth having it, NO,
In our opinion best domain name is a domain name good for the users, Usually keyword domain names ar hyphenated and they don't have good value from users, These days search engines place so little value on keywords in domain names it is just a negligible factor,
There are more important factors than just keywords in domain name, Keywords in domain name help if you are spammer, Say if a spammer wants to do automated blog comment spam and guest book spam he might not always get the backlinks with the anchor text he expected, that time if the keyword is in domain name search engines give value to them,
For legitimate search engine optimization keyword hyphenated domain names are a waste of time and effort, Best we recommend select a domain name best your brand and business, Keyword domains are a thing of the past don't worry about keyword rich domain names unless you are spammer who want to spam search engines,
We hate spam and we hate people who do that,

Domain names are more important for SEO than ever today (October 05, 2006). The reason is that search engines have had to discount more and more on-page factors due to webmasters and their SEO efforts to get top ranking.
With less factors to rank webpages with, search engines are looking for other things to base a website rank in their search results. In-bound links were what made Google what it is today, but even they are discounted now due to webmasters linking to everything they can find to increase their PageRank. But that is another story.
Domain names are the one on-page factor that is hard to cheat on. After all, how many top level domains can a site have?
MSN understands this and ranks a website with a keyword phrase within the domain name well ahead of other sites. For example, I registered a domain name (american-pitbulls.us) for a pitbull site and setup a blog about six months ago. Three months later I did a search on MSN for 'american pitbulls' and my blog came up #1! (Page 1 of 70,571 results)
Keep these factors in mind... The site had:
No PageRank
A new domain name, 3 months old then
No links
No SEO - a WordPress Blog
The blog is still at #1 on MSN today ahead of all 70k sites. Feel free to check yourself, AdSense...

The full url is http://american-pitbulls.us/wp
I'm getting traffic from Google as well now. Anyway, you can see how important the domain name is in ranking well in MSN. Even at third in the search engine wars, MSN can push out a lot of traffic.
