Your blog is a great resource for marketing ideas, so I take inspiring you as a compliment. Jessy, I think Overture is horribly inaccurate, but it’s the only database of its kind that is publicly available (at least that I know of).

Joseph, I hope you are successful at trying to write articles that intentionally draw traffic. :)

I recall experiencing a similar situation around the time when buzz was circulating around Google's click-fraud settlement. I posted an article that focused on <a href="http://reputrack.com/index.php?title=adcenter_crawling_over_broken_glass&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1" rel="nofollow">MS launching AdCenter</a> and the spike in traffic activity that week was akin to a sensational CNN story pointing all its mid-afternoon viewers to my site. In my case, it really was unintentional, but after reading your post, I guess mentioning a number of key players and being linky on some popular topics all in the same post really helped! Great post Justin!

I am really into adwords, since i manage all of my company's client's accounts. I find it to be kinda fun; sometimes stressful when you fuck up...but oh well. ANyways, just to comment on this statement "You could go through the tedious task of looking up search terms in the Overture inventory.........", overture fucking sucks. Its pretty much down 1/2 the time, and i dont really find it to come up with any extraordinary search terms for you to add. WHat do you think? I really like this post.
