The post of the day, I know it is early still, is at WebmasterWorld.
Everyone knows how to add a suffix or use a thesaurus, but that is only the beginning. How do we find words that Google knows relate to our target term?Currently, the tilde search operator is my weapon of choice. Let's see if Google sees any relationships for the ubiquitous widget. Notice that GUI is bolded in the SERPs. We now know Google sees a relationship between those two words. In theory, including GUI on your widgets page will increase your ranking for widget but not vice versa.
Too find all of the terms related to widget, we could simply browse the listings looking for bolded terms. But I'm too lazy for that, so I begin excluding words from my query, starting w/ my main term. Be sure to collect all your traditional stemmed words( widgeters, widgeting, etc) before excluding your main search term. Each new match is added to my exclusions until no results are found. You end up w/ a nice list of related words that can be copied out of the search box.
One downside to this strategy is the chance of missing out on potential matches that only appear on pages you've excluded from your search. However, the time savings is worth it when working with thousands of pages.
Give it a go with a less generic term, and you'll begin to see how much more natural "keyword stuffing" can look now. Anybody else working on a personal Google thesaurus?

an alias is an assumed name, an alibi is a form of defense whereby a defendant attempts to prove that he or she was elsewhere when the crime in question was committed, while an excuse is an explanation offered to justify or obtain forgiveness

It's NOT a thesaurus, OR a thesaurus page,

Sorry, but I don't recall anyone asking for a definition of alibi or excuse. Just because someone asks what alias means, doesn't necessarily mean it has anything whatsoever to do with an alibi or an excuse..

Just three comments: 1. learn how to spell;2. this is a public forum, you can't tell someone they need to change their question because you don't think it qualifies for a thesaurus page; and 3. (and most importantly) this is NOT a thesaurus page!

To every one of you that posted on here asking 'where is the thesaurus?'....well....I just have to laugh (and you probably will too!). Seriously. There was never supposed to be a thesaurus on this page. Umm... take a moment and try something: close your eyes, take a couple deep breaths, then open your eyes again. Ok, ready? Now....take a really good look at this page....such as the TITLE of the website. It's called Search Engine RoundTable! It's not, I repeat, NOT! called Google Thesaurus! This site is made up of ARTICLES relating to various products offered by certain search engines...one of which happens to be Google. This particular article happens to be called 'Google Thesaurus'. At the beginning of this post, I stated that I 'just have to laugh' and the main reason for that, is because out of the 42 posts that were here when I posted this comment, not ONE of you thought to look any closer when you couldn't find the 'missing' thesaurus. In the future, when looking for a Google brand product (or ANY brand product), starting with websites that have the name of the product (or brand) in the URL (i.e., http://googlethesaurus.com/), and staying away from the ones that don't (i.e., http://www.seroundtable.com/), will tend to make finding what you're looking for that much easier.
