Great link. I was going to recommend selfpromotion.com. It has a whole series of very effective tools for analying keywords, search engine ranking etc. It is very afforable, and you can use it very effectively to improve your web site's rankings as well as provide that service to your clients, if you are in that business.

Serving pages exclusively to the googlebot depending on ip address or user-agent header does not sound like a good idea - that's called cloaking and googlebot is able to detect that (it has to be able to, otherwise cheating by creating huge fake link nets would work), propably by sending an anonymous googlebot around from an unknown ip address from time to time.

I'm not saying that cloaking is a good idea or at all moral. It's just an example of a technique that's widely used.
