I've visited Wordtracker already and found it sort of useful. However, you have to enter the keyword phrases that your interested in first. I'm looking for someplace that can list hundreds of keyword phrases being used and how many times they were used in the past.
Anyone know of any resources like this? Also, I remember when Overture used to have a list of the most used keyword phrases but I havent been able to get them to give me the location of this again. Does anyone know what the url is?
Thanks,

Here is the url to Overtures kw suggestion tool:

Yeah, I've already used these tools. Those three hundred are ok, but if you try to bid on them you can expect to pay top dollar to be listed. And unless you do a search by hand and enter each keyword phrase your interested in by hand...you won't get a multiple amount of variations. Thats what I'm looking for.
Perhaps some sort of keyword scramble what will give real life keyword variations. Know of anything like this?

You wouldn't want an all inclusive list anyway. Being keyword specific and tightly related to what you sell will profit you better in the long run. High traffic on CPCs does not always translate to sales. You can get a "million" searches for bikes and "500,000" in clicks for bikes but if you are selling motorbikes and the clickers are looking for pedal bikes, you just lost a whole lot of money. You are really, really better of trying to attract the traffic that is looking for motorbikes, which may only have 100 searches and 50 clicks but they will buy what you sell.
And for the record, all numbers here are made up. Just so I don't get a correction later :)
Sorry brain, that is all I know of.
From my correspondence w/ them...
"By this Friday we should have released our
new 'Keyword Suggestion Tool' for advertisers.
Unlike other ppcs, our tool doesn't just
provide suggestions that are merely extensions
of the root word, but it contains a related
list of keywords selected by our comparative
database. Advertisers will be able to refine
the tool for higher relevancy (very specific
related terms) or for a greater number of
words (a little bit broader list of effective
keywords)"
Do you think a user would actually have typed in
"los angeles consumer credit counseling service"?
or even perhaps "consumer credit counseling service los angeles"?
OV tool shows no searches for either of those phrases, but they claim there WERE 38 searches for "angeles consumer counseling credit los service"
Marvelous "enhancement" OV folks. Just marvelous.
Where's my credit card, so I can buy more of this "soon to be junk" traffic.
bigjohnt - Thanks for this note. It didn't register right away what I was seeing, but it certainly was looking peculiar. I'm going to take the liberty of posting this as well in the "Keyword Discussion" forum, as I think it's of general interest.
They seem to depart from alphabetical order only occasionally, in some commonly used phrases (but not "los angeles" apparently). You're right; this is next to useless. I hope there's enough feedback to get them to change back. I suppose they'd pay more attention to large customers, so let them hear from you if you have a relationship with them.

I've found three "online web site" search engine keyword suggestion tools so far and quickly added them to my site's directory. Besides overture, espotting, brainfox and google does anyone know of others and how to get to their url?
We also bid on them for pennies & nickels which our competitors do not and it brings a steady stream of customers with an excellent conversion rate. Guess it's because they do not find any other relevant results.
But tell me: you said you found three search engine keyword suggestion tools and then you name 4: "overture, espotting, brainfox and google". An other typo? :)
