I have a project posted right now over at Elance. One of the bidders would like to see my list of keywords right now, before they are selected.

Do you see anything wrong with doing this? I guess there is really nothing secretive about it, anyone could generate the same list from Wordtracker.

Just to clarify, these would not posted in the description, but rather via PMB.

Any thoughts?

Sounds like a fair question to ask. Why don't you just give him/her a sample of, say, 15 to see if they are up to the task.

If you read Gary's books about getting web content fast, he generally gives a sample of two or three keywords to the potential author... I wouldn't give them your full list. They could take it and run, or use it for another client.

I would give them a couple of keywords / keyphrases and that should suffice. If they need the full list to know if they can write about them, then I wouldn't trust their skills. Two or three (more so you can test their skills than for them to see if they can/will write about your keywords) would be plenty.

Thanks for replies. I sent him five that which should be enough to give him the flavor.

Thanks again!
