One way to make money online is to find the most popular searches going on right this minute at shopping sites.
Wouldn’t you agree? And wouldn’t you aree that it would be more spiffy than winning a Free Starbucks Coffee for your Every Life from Now Until Eternity if you could spy directly on that information?
Enter Yahoo Secret Shopping Search!
Well, okay, I just made up that name. 
But while I was researching ways to contribute to
I came across
Notice the URL! It’s
See that t-Coffee?
So! I then replaced
- t-Coffee
with
- t-NASCAR
ie,
shopping.yahoo.com/t-NASCAR (I was answering the question – Race car business – making money with NASCAR?)
Now is that neat or what?

Now if that’s not neat, just paint a bullseye on my fanny and call me Target.
The above is a perfect way to not only get a great idea about what’s popular in your niche…but also how to build up hundreds of targeted keywords as well.
I’ll be writing more about this in the Make Money Income Fitness forums – do feel free to join in!

That is crazy awesome! It’s a lot like Google Trends but much cooler and useful. Thanks
Cassie’s last blog post..Need a blog?
I might be a little slow tonight but why is this different than doing ordinary KW research?

Good question! It’s different because shopping.yahoo.com focuses on, well shopping (ie, people who actively want to buy) compared to the generic searches of just plain tire-kickers.
And we miss you at the forums! Come back and post!

I understand but if you were to target those words I would imagine that you would still want to do keyword research to see whether you were able to rank or not (and whether it would be worth the trouble).
As for the forum I know…. I won’t promise anything as I read your post about people that had promised you to do something but didn’t. I won’t be like that

Thanks!
Of course you’d want to do research, unless you’re building portal pages and need 100s of keywords right there.
Enjoy, Barbara
