I could definately incorporate some of that into my current sites, great find Paul!

Where does the data come from, Paul? The idea is absolutley right but the figures don't work out, at least according to the overture tool:

Then click on 'view bid tool' and see what the current rates for some terms are. Some in the list are close but others are way off.

Matthew,

Read this part of the initial post: "I found a list, though, IMHO, only a mild gauge, which shows avg and max bids on certain keywords."

Again, it's only a mild gauge. You'll need to do your own homework to know which keywords work best for you.

Sure, Paul, just another comment. I think the idea's spot on.

Any idea where the data in the txt file comes from?

I can highly recommend this one 'adverse credit remortgage' although there are plenty of words in this arena that are not being hit properly Thankfully lol.

Matthew,

On another forum, some quack was trying to peddle a list, such as the one I posted above, for 29.95 via his website. Someone else pointed out the FACT, these lists are readily available, absolute free. It just takes some searching.

Hope that helps.

Paul, On ther DP forum people are constantly trying to sell these lists it stinks. The trick with these lists though, is to use them as a starting point for research. They really can get you into an area that you might not have thought of before.

BTW OWG,
Do you have any low down on adverse credit mortgage you can give me? I am starting a property section on one of my sites in a few month, regular and adverse credit mortgage services will be complimentary.

Any help on getting info about adverse mortgage providers will be useful

Thanks Paul. Just wondering.

As regards selling these lists goes, I don't think a list like that is worth anything at all, although it's interesting to look at. I have been doing quite a bit of keyword research for a couple of sites I've turned into blogs though and I think if it's done properley (with keyword themes, lots of different keywords for each theme and a variety of bids for each term to start with) then it could be a useful service for people who use Adsense on their site, especially bloggers.

It would give them lots of ideas that maybe they hadn't thought of, like OWG says, and help them clarify thier ideas a bit more, as well as providing each person with literally hundreds of good keyphrases related to their topic.

One thing I've noticed is by doing it this way is that their are some false friends as it were, with very high max bids in 1st place but then the amount just drops right off in bids 2, 3, 4 etc...
