Jon,
I posted this in the Canine thread on the twelvth page so I think you'll probably miss it.
I read the outline of this part of the forum (sorry I'm new here). I see this is for product ideas. Read what I posted:

"Jon,
I already started working on a keyword niche bot about a year ago. Wasn't planning to market it or anything. Just was planning on using it for myself.
Can I send you a copy of it?
I think that you'll find one interesting aspect of my personal bot is that it uses the keyword snatcher to initially harvest keywords to inspect.
I've found that an excellent way to find a niche is to run Keyword Snatcher on a root...then I have a formula that ranks all of the snatcher phrases (in excel). I've run a regression analysis on my actual results to create a linear weighted equation for Google, Amazon, Bing, Yahoo, and Ask.
Next I eliminate about 75% of the keyword snatcher's keywords (below one standard of the formula's ranking output).
Next I check out the exact phase # on each thing. I really don't go tooo much further than that. I've found that from there...anything with less that 15k exact phrase results will rank very well.
I've gotten an average ranking time on about 5-6 days for my niches.
Let me know if you want to take a look Jon.
Tom"
