    I see some people asking questions on finding good keywords. Now i'm no pro. but here is how i go about it.

    I go to http://tools.seobook.com/keyword-tools/seobook/index.php and search the most broad term i can related to my keyword. So if my site is about selling cheese i'll start by searching "cheese"

    this will give my a list of the most popular searches containing cheese.

    The next thing i do is look through the list for more specific keywords that relate to my site. So i may see
    Cheese
    Real cheese
    Free cheese
    Buy cheese
    Cheese sale
    wisconson cheese
    best place to buy cheese

    Then i try and optimize the ones that closely relate to my topic. So in this case i would use: "Buy cheese", "cheese sale", "best palce to buy cheese"

    then i would take the top 3-4 top traffic words relating to my subject and re-search with the tool on those words. then i start to build a list.

    the cool things is the SEO book allows you to export to CSV so you can keep a record of all your lists...

    hope that helps!!!

    Great tip gordon... in fact, I follow the same methodology as you if with different keyword tools. But that's the basic outline of how it's usually done.

    Thanks
