I bet someone will read that title and say "whoa thats me"

it might be a good way to encourage postings from shy forum members, although NFFC has yet to seem shy ;)

other than wordtracker and overture and digital points tool and adwords test campaigns what do you use to do keyword research?

what unique ways to you use the above listed tools?

is there any special sequence of events, etc...

even if your not NFFC your feedback would still be good :)

Title is a little too stardust for me but...

If you want to be the best, if you want to lead, if you want to discover, dominate and control the keyword space you inhabit why on earth would you use a tool that anybody else could use?

What would that tool tell you that it wouldn't tell anybody else?

What if, in a million to one chance, people were targetting that tool and throwing in false data?

If that tool went away how would you discover the "right" keywords to target?

You need the ability to think.

In your case Mr Book I have been amazed by your keyword choices, paid and not, awesome work! I very much doubt you find many [if any] of those keywords through a publically available tool?

I changed it for ya...it was a bit offensive and over the top like.

perhaps if you knew how to use it better, but like minded competitors will likely skew away many of the terms anyway

What would that tool tell you that it wouldn't tell anybody else?
not much

some of the terms are extremely ego driven.

the terms SEO and search engine marketing really do not have that much legit traffic

I do not usually use the tools other than taking a peak at the #s (which I know are way inaccurate)

I also try to get lots of the low volume terms (not listed) too because they make good sense.

since you are likely one of the straightest shooters in the game I really appreciate that compliment. (although I have never liked Mr. and did not realize my branding is making me an inanimate object :eek: )
