doesn't it make more sense to target commonly used search terms that they
*aren't* finding his site with?

more importantly, meta keywords aren't used anymore except by a single
search engine and even then they're only one of many factors in determining
relevance.

if your client wants to chase down good search engine rankings, there are
much more effective methods than fuddling with meta keywords (which will
have practically zero return).

yeah, most any traffic reporting program will do that for you just by
supplying it with your basic weblogs.  no sense reinventing the wheel,
right?
