Is there anyway to find out most common search terms

Hi,

I want to find the most common search terms for certain categories/topics so I can choose an appropriate domain name for my new site. So for example if someone was searching for a particular sport how would they phrase their search term? Does Google provide this facility or is there another way to do it.

Thanks,

@David_BSep 08.2009 — There are many keyword suggestion tools.

Many are online and free, for example, the following two:

[url=http://www.seotools.kreationstudio.com/keyword/index.php]Advanced Keyword Suggestion Tool[/url]

and

[url=http://www.seotoolset.com/cgi-bin/checktraffic.cgi]Traffic Checker[/url]

However, you might want to go straight to Google's own tool:

[url=https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal]Google AdWords Keyword Tool[/url]

You enter your desired key words, click the button, and it tells you approximately how many searches were conducted last month for that term. It also suggests synonyms and tells you how many searches were conducted last month for [I]those[/I] terms too.

For example, I am interested in math tools.

The last time I checked, the term "quadratic equation solver" had 18100 searches in a month, but the term "quadratic equation calculator" had only 5400. So a page should draw more traffic if it uses the phrase "quadratic equation solver" in the page tags, title, and META tags than if the phrase "quadratic equation calculator" is used.

Hope this helps.
