I asked this question in the PowerSellers newsgroup: After I write my titles, I often have two letters left. I always like to get my money's worth, but can never think of a good 2 letter keyword. Any suggestions? Thanks to My friends in the PowerSellers newsgroup: turtlechickbeads, echo242372, bootsnbinky, boodlehouse, harleyglasses, softersilk, hawk-i-treasures, greenleetileco, sun-bits, hoodathunk, rav_industries, karens_krazy_klozet, le.loft, a-creative-edge, Overture, enl-enterprise, highcountryhandworks, and foggy16, here's a guide based on their input:

"Sometimes I'll add the size written differently...like instead of just an "M" I might put M and Med."

You can also sometimes use colors:

"One letter keywords are needed and VERY important for eE and the new search... Trust me on this one  You should strive to make each title UNIQUE, VERY UNIQUE."

Numbers:
Six, Ten, etc.

"According to Overture Hit Reports, one of the best descriptions for an auction would be:
Lots of Hot New USA Sex in a BOX"

Dot coms:
KeywordPad -cleans and sorts.
goodkeywords - good keywords.

Other popular 3 letter keywords are:
Ace, bed, Bee, Car, Cat, Dog, Eye, Fox, Fan, Fax, Gas, Law, Leg, MPH, Pet, Pig, Spa, Toy, & Zip.
But they can't be used generically. For example, you can't use "fax" unless you are selling a fax Machine or a fax service. And if you were, you would already know to use it. But there they are in case you need to know what's popular.
