Nice article. I was actually thinking about writing a similar list, but since you have already done and (and done it so well…)
Anyway, my fav service is Wordtracker ( http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/ ). With wordtracker you can get an idea about the value of the keyword since it shows the search volume.
I still don’t think I need those at the moment, but they will make a great list for the future, thanks!
