Our advice would be to go and find out everything you can about 'sedu hairstyles', and whether Jennifer Aniston has been using Sedu products, and write a feature centering around the hairstyle and a ringing celebrity endorsement, if you can find it.



If hair styling equipment is not your bag, then a feature on Zac Efron, or how to dress for a prom might have some mileage. Remember, though, that these are new entries in the meta search list, and so might not hold longevity.



Top 10

The following is the continuing Top 10, along with their sample key phrases, and KEI data calculated for them. Picking from this list will guarantee the choice of a subject that has substantial logevity prospects.

We would point out that a high KEI does not necessarily guarantee a good keyword choice, and that the only keywords worth targeting in the Top 10 are those with a good ratio of Sites per Search. The standout favorite is 'myspace', with Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, and Carmen Electra also giving a good ratio; also research in these areas should be easy, and they could feasibly sell to almost anyone.
