Certainly an intense post. My big question is how does Yahoo!’s recent merger with Microsoft effect the average internet user? I am a bit weary of the big brother fact coming into play, especially with the scale of the deal. Hopefully international privacy regulation will keep the new entity somewhat honest.

Ruck,

Just a FYI for everyone. Yahoo has changed the Buzz website as follows:

The format we saw in the past is now at:
http://buzzlog.buzz.yahoo.com/

There are also the following websites
http://buzz.yahoo.com
http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/

It gets confusing. The first website is for ranking. The remaining websites seem to be for content.

Mo —

When you sign up to those countries it will automatically assign you an ID. You just have to remember when building pages for say like France to login into Amazon France and build the proper links.

Here is a link:http://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/join/info4.html?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=assoc-center-2&pf_rd_r=&pf_rd_t=501&pf_rd_p=&pf_rd_i=assoc_join_info3

Horribly long I apologize. That has a list of countries. Umm, just remember advertising outside the US to use GEO and Language targetting. I had a $1200 screw up once for moving to fast.

Remember to translate your ads :) and a search for currency converter will give you a free site to type in country currency converted to USD so you can expect what the amount of commissions…

Gary V,

Yes your absolutely right, I love Google Trends. The more research you can pile in dependent upon your speed, the more data you can gage the market and demand.

Hopefully, I didn’t mislead anyone. I gave a really fast example of how to tackle an upcoming story. I know the Dog The Bounty Hunter is becoming huge so I provided a really quick way to give it a shot.

As always proper testing and tracking is important but after you do this awhile, you just get a knack for knowing what’s going to become a headliner.

Thanks for the comments everyone, I broke a finger this morning being a jackass! So, I don’t know if I will post this evening.

Ruck,

As always thanks for the great post. I have been doing this for a little while, but you went more in depth than I did and gave me some great ideas.

Thank you!

Yea,

I was pretty busy over the weekend and I sat down with the boys to watch the Colts/Patriots game.

One thing to note. It may not have the same quality as an ebook, but I have not ran into an ebook that has made me thousands of dollars a month.

This has :)

It’s more of a speed tip. When going with these trends, you have to move at lightning, with more diverse and competitve niches I tend to spend days or even weeks analyzing them.

Man, this post is as long as a paid make money online ebook.
I would not say that has the same quality as such an ebook, cause i do not want to offend you.
Thanks for the post, i knew you were preparing something good, seeing that you did not post for one-two days.
