Just as the title says.

I use kayak.com, because it seems to at least give you most major airlines all at once. But I finally sprang for an AK Airlines credit card, so I'll probably do all my flights through them just for the miles and the points. The $99 companion fare once a year cannot be beat for this part of the world.
-
@Espion: Same here with the AK card.
I usually fly Southwest. Their rates are always best when we are looking. I'll post an awesome info graphic when I get to my computer. It has a ton of helpful booking tips.

Kayak, especially with matrixes they give telling you if it is a good time to buy.
Also tuesdays at 2pm are the best time to buy tickets.

Kayak. I check to see if Depart/Returning to different airport saves money. We have public transit to two local airports. That is harder if you have a car parked at one airport.
I also check to see if two one way flights are cheaper than round trip. It's rare but it saved me $300 on my business trip last week.
-
@hotchildinthecity: omg! So it's 3pm here and flights are $100 cheaper than they were 4 hours ago!
-
Same as above - I use Kayak, and also check Southwest and JetBlue. I also look at airports within 2 hours from here - if the fare is much lower, it's worth it to travel.
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: i cant remember what the logic behind it is. It's something about one airline discounting their fares at noon and the other airlines racing to compete.

Here's the infographic I saw the other day: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/435371488949219864/

A new app just launched claiming to help with this. Look for Hopper in the AppStore. I'm downloading now to check it out.

@sunny: I was just coming on here to post about Hopper!
I used a sample route of LAX to JFK - http://www.hopper.com/flights/from-LAX/to-JFK/guide
And it gave me this info:
Demand is going up, Prices are flat. Book soon.
The average demand rose 32.2% to 9,261 flight searches per day compared to 7,004 daily searches during the previous four weeks. Last week's weighted average round-trip ticket price from Los Angeles to New York City was the same as the prior month at $295***
Very cool to see when flights might be cheapest! I love the color coded calendar visual.

I usually use kayak to buy and then I use Yapta to track the prices so that if they go lower, we can get some back as credit (we have used this successfully a couple times).
