12. Then go to Overture Keyword Suggestion Tool. Enter in a keyword and Overture returns all prior month's searches that include your phrase. The problem with Overture tool is that it doesn't give you exact way that search was entered. This is why it is essential to use a tool like Keyword Tumbler (see # 18) to generate maximum possible number of keyword combinations that a user might enter a search phrase into engines.

13. Use abbreviations and misspellings. A good misspelling tool is Search Spell. Search Spell uses actual misspellings entered into search engines. Misspelled Keywords is another software tool that will literally create thousands of misspellings for any given keyword phrase you enter into it.

14. Use acronyms. An acronym is a word formed from initial letters of a name. Example: due diligence becomes DD. A good acronym generator is Acronym Finder. Link: http://www.acronymfinder.com

15. Combine your keyword phrase into one word. Example: strawbale houses => strawbalehouses.

16. Use "space" and "+" with keywords. Example: - strawbale+houses - strawbale +houses

17. Visit Crossword Compiler and download their demo software. Plug in your keywords and discover a multitude of additional words. Link: http://www.crossword-compiler.com

18. Once you have your list compiled visit Keyword Tumbler and download free software. Put your keywords into a text file and then let Keyword Tumbler generate multiple variations of each keyword phrase you have... instantly! Link: http://www.keywordtumbler.com

It does this simply by mixing words in each phrase around. Example: "horses for sale" generates a list like this...

horses for sale horses sale for for horses sale for sale horses sale horses for sale for horses

As Perry Marshall, author of Definitive Guide to Google AdWords said at a recent seminar: "Every combination of keywords that somebody could conceivably type in on Google is a market." Link: http://www.megastep.com/pm

I hope you have found this advice useful? It's exact same procedure I use everyday when fighting pay-per-click wars.

Of course you could ask,”where can I find forums?” One way is using search engines. Write in search bar “internet marketing forums” and you will have many listings but you should notice that only active ones are worth your attention. Another thing you should be careful about is how many users and posts forum has every day. If there are only one or two users then you should go away, although forums indexed by search engines are important because a link of your website to this forum could mean indexing for your website too.

When you post to a forum always, use your name and not some kind of number or code like 22357 e.t.c. You want to gain credibility with your name and not with characterless number or a fake username. Use your signature in every post, which should contain your name, 2-3 lines of text (that depends on how many lines forum administrator permits you to use) and of course your site URL.

Here is a list of great forums you can use:
