Interesting.
Where/how are you getting your data, especially CPC estimates? I also like the report and parallel terms you make available.
I'm interested in giving this a go, but also have some specific requirements to really get moving, such as an API. Do you have plans for API access in the near future?

The trial limit was pretty annoying. I tried putting in several obvious and already recommended keywords and it said that they weren't found. Then I reached the trial limit. Sigh...

I agree. I think a tool like this could be useful if it allowed you to go from general area of interest like "backcountry skiing" to specific items/terms/products that are generating a lot of search traffic from shoppers at the moment "black diamond carbon megawatt ski." Such a tool could be used to suggest topics for affiliate blog posts or even items that should be stocked in online stores.
Instead I got terms like "backcountry gear".
The combination of only three test searches and a limited number of search results left me with the impression that it really just mapped general terms to related general terms which isn't particularly useful.
Perhaps focusing the ranking more on conversion would bias it more towards specific terms.
Visit the page, click the bookmarklet. Most profitable terms on the page highlight in green. Darker green means more profitable.
If some keywords are net-negative, highlight them in red.

It's also not clear if the UK price is actually in dollars or is a GBP price with a dollar sign next to it...

Anyone using this or similar tools they can vouch for?
