I just found this free keyword tool that is by far the best I have seen for generating lots of combinations. Visit the Keyword Tool Kit and you’ll see 3 options:

1. Keyword Linker – Combines mutiple keyword lists to generate massive amounts of highly targeted phrases in seconds.
2. Keyword Jumbler - Jumbles your keyword phrase into every permutation a surfer could enter into a search engine.
3. Keyword Wrapper – Wraps your keyword lists in quotes and brackets for use in AdWords campaigns. (Keyword Linker and Keyword Jumbler have built in wrappers).

You may use the Keyword Linker to add "Action Words" to your bunch of keywords. For example you may gave list of keywords like:

red shoes
blue shoes
orange shoes

By adding a few words in front or behind that list, you can get this in a few seconds:

buy red shoes
buy blue shoes
buy orange shoes
red shoes cheapest
blue shoes cheapest
orange shoes cheapest

My favourite tool is the Keyword Jumbler. On the web site, it has an example with the initial keyword phrase:

cheap european holidays

The Keyword Jumbler automatically "jumbled" them up into all possible variations. This works best for 3 or more keywords in 1 phrase. The result was:

cheap european holidays
european cheap holidays
holidays cheap european
cheap holidays european
european holidays cheap
holidays european cheap

The Keyword Wrapper is pretty much the same as Hudson Scripting Scripts. I still use Hudson Scripting’s Typo Generator to get a list of typos without using any of my brain power to brainstorm all the possible typos. There is so much I can think of… All these scripts make it possible for you to get more keywords than your brain can churn out!

To put it all together, here are the free tools I use almost everyday to expand my keywords:

1. Keyword Linker
2. Keyword Jumbler
3. Keyword Wrapper
4. Hudson Scripting’s Typo Generator

To get my initial list of keywords, I usually pick the keywords that can give me 3000 searches a month of more, that’s my own criteria for selecting keywords. I find that these keywords are worth my time to add into my Ad Groups and they usually give more clicks than the ones with lower searches. Then again if you have a very targetted keyword for a certain product like "Canon EOS XXX" and the search number is lower than 3000, use it anyway because that phrase is very targetted for someone searching for that particular camera.

If you’re on a budget, you could use free tools like:

1. Overture’s Suggestion Tool (This is an enhanced version with the bid prices on the left)
2. Google AdWords Keyword Suggustion Tool

If you’re willing pay for software, there are quite a few of them in the market right now. They cost $60 and above. I’m not sure which one is the best right now because a lot of new ones are entering the market. Now its even possible to see the number of ads in Google, Overture, FindWhat and Enhance at the same time and also the exact headline and position of the ads!
