Just discovered a great time-saving tool for generating City, State, and/or Zip plus Key Word phrases for localized search optimization. If you have ever tried to do this, you know it can be a tedious job.

Here is a practical example. One of my top paying affiliate program clients is DentalPlans. Because the program is so successful and popular, it’s also pretty competitive with lots of smart affiliates on board. Affiliates that just have one page about the kw “dental plans” probably will be buried in the serps. But if you could put out a bunch of pages with different City/State/Key Word combos then you would have more chances of higher rankings and being found when consumers looking for a “Dentist in Costa Mesa Ca” or “Dentist Newport Beach Ca.” DentalPlans offers affiliates a HUGE combo KW list with the large cities, but my guess is many are using that same list. Here is an easy way to develop deeper localized search phrases that includes smaller suburbs. Check it out! Local PPC Adwords & Keyword List Creator

(Edited to add) Nick posted a link to this entry over at ThreadWatch. Then graywolf shared his own version of a city/state keyword generator, which I think I like even better. Evaluate them both and see which works best for you!
