Good suggestions from , and — below is a short, practical, tool‑agnostic workflow to turn those ideas into a working AdWords keyword set for a forum. The focus is on harvesting real user language from your site, structuring tests so you learn quickly, and using small budgets to validate terms before scaling.

  1. Harvest seeds from the forum: export top thread titles, tags, FAQ headings and site‑search queries. Put the raw phrases into a spreadsheet and normalize (remove duplicates, combine variants).
  2. Group by intent and theme: label phrases as informational, navigational or transactional and cluster into tight ad groups (one theme per group).
  3. Prioritize by value: combine external volume/CPC estimates with on‑site signals (pageviews, replies, registrations). Rank keywords by likely conversion value, not just traffic.
  4. Match ads to pages: send clicks to the most relevant thread or a curated category landing page with a clear call to action (read, reply, sign up). Relevance improves CTR and quality scores.
  5. Test cheaply and iterate: run phrase/exact tests on small daily budgets for a fixed period (2–4 weeks). Track CTR, cost per click and a forum conversion (registration, reply, time on page).
  6. Scale via winners: add negatives for wasted queries, expand winning long‑tail variants, pause poor performers and document each change.

If CTR is low, check ad/landing mismatch. If CPC is too high, push long‑tail and tighten match types. For forums, internal site search and actual user questions are often the best source of high‑intent, low‑cost keywords. As and note, use a few tools to gather ideas but prioritize your own data and small tests to find what truly converts.

If you are using Google Adwords, you are already using one of the best tools available (it should give you an idea what words are most sought, clicked-through, etc.). All other services offer very rough approximations.

From the other side, you could also consider creating an AdSense account and bidding for many of the keywords you are considering. After a few months (a year? etc. depends on your budget), you should have a very good idea what terms are most sought and clicked through.

In my own experiences, Google Adwords Keyword Tool and its sktool would be the best for this purpose. :)
