Keyword tools like Wordtracker are great but they are not always up to date and they only use a small percentage of the search data that is available. If you only use tools like Wordtracker, Overture's tool, or other keyword tools you could be missing out on a lot of really great keywords. All of the major search engines provide great keyword data that you can use to develop keyword lists based on what people are actually looking for in these engines. A lot of these keywords as ignored by your competition too so they will be easier to rank for in the organic results and if you run PPC programs they may cost less per click.

Mark, Great post, I get phone calls from vendors promising me page one on keywords not used by my local internet users. So it is important what keywords you use. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Maybe I'll see you on TV ( The Macy's Parade coverage )....
