Affiliate Compass - Picking A Topic

There are many places to look for a good topic for yoursite. My favorite, and the one I’ve subscribed to is theLycos Top 50.It’s not the most popular search engine, but the Top 50list is a great way to find out what people are searchingfor. They also keep archives. Here is the URL:http://50.lycos.com/If you’re just starting out, you will not going to be ableto compete with the top 50 that are listed, but with alittle imagination, you can come up with sub topicsbased on what Lycos tells you. If you keep looking longenough, you might even find some patterns and be ableto figure out some of the future top searches and planahead for future site ideas.Use a keyword service. There are literally hundreds ofsoftware programs that help you pick keywords. I likeKeywordElite and SeoElite both by Brad Callen. Theseare proven products and very popular with Affiliatesand Marketers alike. Both are a bit pricey but willserver you well for the long term and are updatedregularly. The support is also exceptional.There are other services offering keywords on particularniches for as low as $15 per month.
