Top keywords

Hi,
Where can I get a reliable list of the top 1000 keywords searched for over the last few months or 2012 or whatever?
Thanks

Yeah, those are some of the 'official' pages, but they don't seem to provide so much info.
There are lists provided by individuals or keyword research companies (i.e. wordtracker's) but they will usually be segmented for a specific search engine, it's country, language, the time it was built, etc., etc., maybe that's why you don't see congruence between them.
Here you'll find a few more resources: http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2066257/What-People-Search-For-Most-Popular-Keywords
Google's Keyword Tool also gives you an estimate of the searches for a term over the past 12 months, and you can segment by country, language and industry (if you leave this one blank you're supposed to get the most searched terms) although is not very reliable.
But I'd guess the best would be for you to conduct your own research based on the specific audience you're targeting.

Hello Branagan,
Thanks for that.
They seem to give a top 10, I was looking for a longer list. (The first link is dead btw.)
Many years ago someone somewhere produced a list of the top1000 keywords. I found one for 2012 but it didn't look very accurate.
I tried searching for top 500 with more success.

Keyword Over-usage?
I have a photography page, where there are a number of galleries. In the galleries and thumbnails of each photo I'm selling. These also include the title. It's built dynamically. However, I've noticed when I do an on-page grade check, that one of the places I'm failing is over-using the keyword on the page. This is mainly due to the titles of each photo containing that keyword. For example, there might be a photo gallery for images of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and 30 of the 40 images on the page have a title with "Golden Gate Bridge" in them. So naturally, the title is displaying this on the page and showing up 30+ times (after the term is used in the page text as well). Is this a really big problem, or is the benefit on each individual photo page outweighing any hit on the gallery page? Any thoughts? Thanks!

Price Comparison Website And Keywords
I run a price comparison website for a small niche at http://cdkeyprices.com I am targeting keywords for the specific products I am comparing the price/merchants on. On a typical page I would have a price column, product name, the merchant and a buy button. Buy button is affiliate linked to the merchant. The product name in the product column is the name from the actual website I am tracking. As such, my keyword was appearing sometimes up the 30 times. I've took it down some months ago but was wondering if this was a bad move. I was concerned Google would think I was stuffing the keyword. I've only just gotten into SEO the past few months so was not able to see any changes. Should i put the product column back up or would it be considered over optimization?

Question about ranking for long tail keywords
So I am looking at some long tail keywords for my web design company, for example: "website development and design company" The top results are websites that are not optimized for that specific keyword but about "web design & development" in general. The top ranking sites also have quite high PA with lots of links. If I were to create a page specifically about that term would it be fairly easy to rank for since the top ranking pages are not optimized for that keyword?

Does Bing/Yahoo have a keyword tool?
Just wondering if there is a Bing / Yahoo equivalent to this: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal ?? Would be nice to compare the different search patterns between the two search engines, without just assuming that the relative search volume on google for certain keywords is the same bing/yahoo.

Keyword Difficulty Tool
Hello, I've been using the above more and more - with some great results. I have just run a report for a brand term and that brand has the new style sitelinks - 12 in total. So the output from the Keyword Difficulty Tool is focussed solely on the main url and then 9 sitelinks, rather than 10 different domains. Is there anyway around this? What do people think I should do? Is it: a) ok to use the output or b) because the output is skewed to one domain is the data not robust enough or... c) something else?? Thanks Alex

When I try to ascertain search volume for the the words "pills" "drugs" and "medicine" it is showing "-" for all types of search volume, including phrase, exact, and broad. Why is this?
