Tidbit: Did you realize that 20% to 25% of search queries that Google gets in any one day are unique; unique as in “never seen before,” not once! Gives a whole new meaning to the “long tail”. (source: Web Pro Business)
If you haven’t actually read Chris Anderson’s The Long Tail: Why the Future of Business is Selling Less of More
, I recommend you pick up a copy. It’s one of the better e-business books I’ve read in quite a while: well written, intelligently argued, supported by real data, and quite relevant to e-commerce (and SEO).
Anderson also has a very good blog, which was the genesis of the theories for the book.

Overture’s keyword suggestion tool, apparently, has been acting up, but now Wordtracker is giving webmasters another option. Check out Wordtracker’s tool to estimate the daily search volume for particular keywords and suggestions for alternate phrases to target.

If ever an Internet company appears to have a long-and-painful-death wish, it appears to be AOL. Forget about the news that AOL is giving away free email, the big story hitting the fan (if you’ll forgive my mixed metaphors) is that AOL is giving away massive information on user queries performed the last three months.
What a wonderful opportunity to finetune your SEO strategy (or: generate more search engine spam — depending on your orientation):
Google/ AOL have just given some of the worlds biggest spammers a breakdown of high traffic terms its just a matter of weeks now until google gets mega spammed with made for adsense sites and other kind of spam sites targetting keywords contained in this list.
