    domain name is a huge contributor for me. Use your keyword in the name
    If your mane keyword phrase is "Car Sales Ohio" I name my site
    car-sales-ohio.com or anything with the keywords in it. You will naturally rank higher for your site.

    yes. Use your keywords in the domain name and you will rank higher. Make is sound as natural as possible and hyphens are okay ... but no more than 2

    Take Care

    Have a keyword in domain name would help you a much in ranking factor. However, keyword in domain name is a major factor but only small part for SEO in a long term. If your site haven't been updated regularly, not some attractive for visitor then your ranking won't be last long.

    Having a keyword in the URL is a plus. The SEs think the site is more relevant and that helps push your site up in SERPs.

    digital cameras best: 99,900,000 at SERPs,
    best digital cameras: 82,200,000 at SERPs,

    Take the digitalcamerasbest.com, it have more SERPs at least, right?
