>>I can also tell you that I think "wholesale" will be your bread & butter as far as KWs go.

Amen. I have one wholesale client who works predominantly with Search Engine traffic. Our biggest kw's, in addition to the specific product words, are:

wholesale, wholesaler, supply, supplier, manufacturer, maker, import, importer

Other wholesalers in the same industry are paying up to $2 a click on GoTo for the industry-specific single kw. We forget about that big money game and focus on phrases that include the single kw plus one of the above list. Costs a lot less and the traffic is better targetted.

We also have an arrangement with a retail site to link our retail traffic over to them -- and they link the wholesale traffic to us. This seems to be a good thing for both parties.
