Read some of the threads and stickies in the Mileage Run Deals and Mileage Run Discussions forums. You'll learn a lot about reading fare rules to find creative routings to maximize miles.
A good tool to help find good bade fares is Farecompare's Flyertalk Fares page (Google that), which sorts fares based on their CPM (though you can eke more out with creative routings, of course).
I'd link to the above, but I'm on my iPhone, sorry!
Good hunting!
