Many of the keyword sources you could use to pull keywords for PPC or even for optimizing pages for natural search provide data in a format that's difficult to use. Aaron Wall over at SEOBook just created a new free keyword cleaning tool that makes it super easy to grab a list of keywords from just about any public source, clean it up, and sort it in order of which terms have the greatest potential value.
