On a related note, I was doing KW research on the word "sante," which is French for health (the last e has an accent, but my keyboard doesn't let me type them). Both Yahoo and Google's KW research tools gave me keyword suggestions relating to Santa Fe and other "Santa City" locations. With relevance like that, i'm just surprised they didn't also suggest "Santa Claus" or "North Pole" as possible KWs... Ironically, they don't ask, did you mean "Santa," when I type "Sante" Tells you something about relevance and semantics, doesn’t it?

As far as they are concerned, if it wasn't for SEO, then they could have absolute market share instead of people like use figuring out ways to reverse engineer their algorithm (at least enough to know how to attain favorable rankings).

It used to be just "Website Optimization for Targeted Traffic." That may be worth a try:)
