Awesome that's it

I feel like last year when Moz was still SEOMoz I used a beta tool that would help you build a bunch of queries for link prospecting.  You would tell it what your sites about and a few other pieces of information, and it would give you a list of google queries to get you started (ie inurl:directory <industryname> +"add site"</industryname>).

However, I'm having a hard time finding this tool, or any reference to it on the web.  It's also possible that it wasn't a moz tool but I'm misremembering where I found it.  Does anybody have any idea what I'm talking about?

I'm working with some backlink data, and I've run into different domains that host the same exact content on the same IP. They're not redirecting to each other, just looks like they're hosting the same content on differnet virtual hostnames. One example is:

• borealcanada.ca
• borealcanada.com
• borealcanada.org
• www.borealcanada.ca
• www.borealcanada.com
• www.borealcanada.org
• www.borealecanada.ca

I'm trying to consolidate this data and choose which is the primary domain. In this example, it appears www.borealcanada.ca has a high number of indexed pages and also ranks first for "boreal canada". However, I'm trying to think of a metric I can use to definitively/systematically handle this (using SEO Tools or something like it).

Anyone have ideas on which metric might help me determine this for a large number of sites?

I was speaking to a SEO the other day.  He is going to be working on an ecommerce site soon.  I was suggesting that he might want to augment his SEO efforts with PPC in order to be able to show some results in the near term, as it would most likely take some time for his SEO work to be showing results.

His response was that while he hasn't utilized them as much, he's found that it can take 3-6 months to get a PPC campaign to really make money.  I'm just curious if you guys feel that this is an accurate statement?
