Now on the right side of your monitor you'll find Top-Ranked Products. This is your source for ideas. You'll see you can click on sub-categories such as cycling, skateboarding and golf equipment. Click on any category and start browsing the products. This list will provide you with TONS of niche marketing product ideas. Pick a product and start writing your review and see how it goes!

Amazon Bestsellers is the grand-daddy of tools for finding niche marketing ideas. At the top of the page you'll four amazingly helpful links: New Hot Releases, Most Gifted, Most Wished For and Movers & Shakers. Scroll down and you'll find all of Amazon's product categories.

Click on any category and start browsing down the list of keyword niche ideas. This tool is very similar to Shoppng.com's top searches page and is equally useful for finding niche marketing ideas.

eBay Pulse

eBay Pulse is an extremely useful tool for finding niche marketing ideas. Next to category on the left of your monitor you'll find a drop-down menu. Click on that and choose a category. After that you'll see a list of products. If you'd like to dig deeper into eBay's categories just click on the drop-down menu and pick a sub-category. You'll find even more niche ideas.

So, for best results you might want to find ideas deep within the sub-categories.

eBay Want It Now

eBay Want It Now is an extremely powerful tool that you can use for finding affiliate marketing niche ideas. eBay's Want It Now site is a place where buyers can come and key in specific items that they're looking to buy online. At the same time sellers can come in and announce that they have a product meeting the buyer's demand. You can enter broad keywords into the search box or browse by category. Personally, I prefer to browse by category. You'll be sure to get lots of affiliate marketing ideas here.

Google Product Search

Google Product Search is another Google tool which can offer ideas for niche marketing. Check in on this page every day and sometimes you can find ideas here. It's a very quick check as there's nothing to click on. Just visit the page and you'll see a list of items that were recently searched on Google Shopping. These are basically popular highly searched keywords. If you can write a good review around one of these keywords you're sure to get lots of hits.

Google Trends

Goolge Trends is a list of the top most popular searched keywords on Google. It is updated every day. While this is a wonderful list of words that you can use just to see what's going on in the world it can also serve as a good list for article and niche product review ideas. Check in every day and scan down the list. From time to time you'll see names of products on the list. If you see one start researching and write your product review immediately.

Technorati Popular Tags

While Technorati Popular Tags is not necessarily geared towards online shopping it offers an excellent overview of the most popular searched keyword items on the Internet. Technorati categorizes and provides updated lists of the top blogs and Internet searches. At the bottom of the page you'll find top videos, top movies, top tags and Today in Pictures. Often in the bottom-left of your screen you'll see a product tag which can offer an idea for affiliate marketing.

Yahoo! Buzz

Yahoo! Buzz is Yahoo's in-house social bookmarking page. As far as social bookmarking and getting my links to come up in Google and Yahoo! search engine queries I've had mixed results. While Yahoo! Buzz isn't the greatest for finding products for affiliate marketing it can serve as wonderful tool to inspire ideas for article writing. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and you'll see a list of most popular searches. If you can write an informative and entertaining article on any of these keywords it will get lots of hits.
