SE tool
 

I used to have a neat little tool that told me how often words or phrases were searched for. Don't remember the name though. Any ideas?

I am not sure if it is here but I find this site to be a valuable tool.

Here's a few free ones:

Wordtracker Free
Keyword Discovery
Miva
Google Keyword Tool

Thanks buddy, exactly what I was looking for, but in a different program ;)

I found this the other day

http://www.seohosting.com/toolbox/

The popular one used to be -
http://inventory.overture.com/

But it's almost always down anymore. I use wordze myself, which is paid, but I consider it a good thing. Makes the database a bit less accessible and more competitive.

I have to say though, having used paid Wordtracker for about a year as well - in my experience, these tools are inaccurate at best and sometimes give you really screwed up results. Better than nothing, but I take their predictions with a grain of salt.
