The first is a free keyword pairing script that will help you build list of keywords for your PPC campaigns. It takes up to four lists of words and mixes them into new combinations. It includes a list of US and Canada cities. There is also a link to a zip code file you can use with the script for getting really local with your keyword list.

The second is a free niche site script for creating a Ebay, Amazon, and YouTube mashups with a full tutorial on how to build a niche store in minutes.
