Ok, I'll give you articles and information on how to do it, but you oughta know right up front that I am NOT a huge proponent of keyword popularity searches. I think that if you spend too much time obsessing about getting the right keywords, that you miss the real point, which is to create, write, and be a real human being.
Keyword tools cannot track everything. In fact, they can be highly
inaccurate, and using them as the compass for your business is not a
wise move! Temper it with a bit of intuition, common sense, and a
twist of creativity if you want to really succeed.
There are tons of people telling you that you can predict popularity by applying some formula to your keyword lists, and not making a move unless the keyword tools say you should. Like some form of high tech fortune telling. People love that sort of thing - tell me before I dive in whether there is any risk or not! Forget it. There IS risk.
Keyword tools are nothing more than something that you can use to tweak an already good idea, or to slightly improve already good copy. They are an enhancement, not a foundation. I have had words that I searched on using those tools, which came up with 0 searches. ZERO! For something that I, myself, have searched for on that system. After using keywords for PPC which the tools predicted as a good bet, and getting all browsers and no buyers, I finally just picked my own assortment (which the tools indicated were a bad option), and am now getting the targeted hits that I need to bring income into my site.
This happened because popularity was not the issue! Click bid prices were not the issue either. Precisely targeting the people I needed was. I did not need to know what other people were looking for. I needed to find people who think like me, to let them know what I had. I have had other sites with similar issues, where keyword searches could not at all predict whether people actually wanted what I had, and when a twist on the common themes was the perfect thing to fill a much needed niche.
Keyword generation tools have their place, but if you hang your entire business on it, you'll spend your time chasing someone else's dream, and not your own. And then you may not find it, because success is not in the keywords, it is in the quality and value of what you offer. If you spend all your time researching keywords and don't make a move unless you get good numbers on it, you'll waste time you could be spending on more important tasks, and you'll never truly create the things that you have to offer to the world.

Are Keywords Destroying
the Flow of Your SEO Copy?
With all the shuffling that’s
been seen in the search engine world within the last year, the issue
of obvious optimizing has become a hot button. The current line of
thinking is that most engines (especially Google) are on the lookout
for sites that purposely make an effort to optimize their pages in
order to get high rankings.
Buzzwords vs. Effective
SEO Keywords
Ever see a website that seems to
speak a foreign language...in English? We encounter many SEO client
websites that rely on buzzwords in the page copy to get the word out
about their product. The problem lies with visitors who may not be
familiar with those terms. This means optimizing with buzzwords may
not be the best way to gain traffic. If your prospective visitors
are not searching for those terms, how do they find your website?
