Im sure there are major advantages to having keywords in the domain but what I am saying is that with proper content, anchor back link text, and title text im sure it would take the same amount of time if not a little bit longer to get into the top positions as it would be with a keyword domain.
The example you showed me is about correct because the average amount of back links needed with that keyword anchor text to get in the top 10 is between 65 - 75 and that domain has 145 back links. Now add that with the fact that they have the keyword in the domain I wouldnt see why they wouldnt be number one.
A little more info for you. The only other 3 domains out of the top 10 with high amounts of back links are tiava.com with 397, lesbian-porn-pictures.org with 35, and debauchery.com/lesbiansex01.htm with 42 . The rest have less than 5 back links and even some of those are higher than the ones I posted.
I agree that keyword domains give you a good boost but in my opinion I think the amount of targeted anchor text back links and the amount of indexable themed content pages can over come that boost easily.
Like I said earlier these are just my unproven theories so until I finish my testing just take what I say as just an opinion. I will also send you a pm when im done to let you know how things came out.
Thanks for the reply as well.
