Sure I'm interested in seeing the table.
How'd you compile it?

The data is from their tag cloud on their site. It's the last post on the amazon kindle e-publishing thread on the other site.

After looking at your list I have a question. If I already have say Adventure in one of my two Catagories slots on amazon. Should I also have it in my 7 keyword options? Or should I be trying for a different one?
Thanks,
The Deposed King

I would suspect it would be worthwhile. From what you said before, you couldn't search on Admiral Who until you listed it as a keyword. Which seems strange. It does take time for a new entry to register though. Until we know more about their code I'd just select the best keywords you can come up with, that people use most often and fits your book. Of course if sales begin to slow, you might try a different set of keywords that fit, if you can.
Is there a word that is in your categories that you don't have as a keyword for Admiral Who? Try searching on that word and see if the book is listed in the search results.
I did some quick tests and "Spineward Sectors" and "Wachter" searches listed your book. So I'd focus on keywords not found in the other meta tag entries. I'll do some more tests and post the results on the other site.
Here's a short list of what Amazon seems to use for tags relative to it's searches amazon keywords

Hi!
I just wanted to say THANKS! I read your advice about going through the self-publishing route. I will admit that sometimes computers work with me the same as they do with Harry. Or, I'm a bit dim. ;) (You can decide). I never did get the whole Kindle process working.
But, that said, there was a lot of useful information in the whole self-publishing aspects. The doctor said my eyesight should restore itself, eventually, after reading through all the legalese.
In the end, I went with Smashwords. I got two books up and running as of yesterday and I've already gotten a few sales. So, um, I guess I'm an professional author. Gah, what a thought. But, there was an unsuspecting populations lying there and I just pounced.
Anyway, thanks for the advice. I just wanted you to know it was both useful and appreciated.
