but having my keywords in my domain names does seem to help rankings on serps a lot.

Is that the ONLY place those "keywords" appear?
Not in page titles?
Not in anchor text anywhere?
Not in the body text (headings or otherwise)?
Not in alt attributes of image links to the page?
If anybody can show me a page that "ranks" PURELY on the hostname or the URI "keywords", I'll revisit the idea that domain names may have an impact on "ranking".
To be honest though I've thrown this challenge out quite a few times in the past 12 years or so and still nothing even remotely interesting never mind conclusive or convincing.
For Yahoo! certainly there is a small effect for words with very little competition (none), being in the "Information Architecture" as they dubbed the URI structure. But one that is outweighed by the content or the title.
