Domain name really doesn't make a difference. Besides submitting you should only do it once if you do go that route. Next step is to submit to directories if you search this forum there are scores of free directories that you can add your site to.

There was a time several years ago when we thought domain names were significant, but either we were wrong or the algorithms were changed because of domain name spam.
You should now be able to take just about any domain name and propel it to good rankings for most searches.

The reason that keyword domain names seems to help is because the kws show up in more (volunteer) links. IMO it still all comes down to links. I'd stay far away from so-called seo software and try to get some good links.

I also found that in the past a keyword rich domain name helped in the SERPS but that has seemed to slip away in today’s search results. Domains that are user friendly and represent your website or business are easy for visitors to remember and thus that is where I see the benefits lye today.
If you can get a .com that clearly represents your business as you have done here, It may be beneficial in the long run in attracting visitors. What I hate are domains with masses of hyphens, not that it's bad, I just hate typing them in the address bar.
