I think you mean

yourname+servicename@gmail.com

From my experience, many (bad) websites consider "+" an invalid character and prevent you from using the address in this form.

Smart spammers can just strip the service name since it works the same for all Gmail users.

Really need dedicated addresses like Fastmail's Masked Addresses.
