How much does the domain name weigh in on the position in the search engine?

It weighs 0%. The main thing that a domain name can give you is name recognization.

I beg to differ. I have several websites testing this theory and I do get indexed better, of course having related content on the website helps as well. So I believe there is some weigh factor involved.

domain names have very liitle or no weight in the SERPs

if they did, wouldn't books.com (Barnes & Noble) be top for a search of books rather than Amazon ?
