Okay here’s another way to choose your offer. Pick the demographic first… It’s actually fairly easy. There are a lot of different ways to choose your demographic. The most common is to visit buzz.yahoo.com, google.com/trends/. Make sure you select “more hot trends” in Google Trends. Also, surf through the first few pages of Yahoo Buzz. Don’t just look at the “Top Searches” on the left. I’ve often found gems hidden around the 10th page.

Write down a list topics that you see on Google Trends. If those same items can be found in Yahoo Buzz then chances are it’s a pretty hot topic to create a campaign around. Visit the site “hot” site and look at what’s being advertised.

Another thing you can do is visit… news websites. MSN.com, CNN.com, ESPN.com. These news sites will give you topics you can choose from. Click over to a news article. Scroll around the page until you see advertisements. I’m on one right now that has an advertisement for a Hyundai car. Now I doubt I will find a CPA offer for a Hyundai… BUT… I know I can find an offer for car insurance and to make it simpler for you there is zips submits out there for Gas Station gift certificates..

The article I went to is called “Clinton, Obama converge on Florida”. So I ask you… what’s the demographic? Voters! Most likely in their 30s, 40s, and 50s. The people that are advertising on news sites have got money to spend on there. They aren’t going to place an ad that won’t convert so you now know what you can advertise to that demographic.

I hope you’re paying attention. You should also now know what keywords to target, and if you’re setting up a poll… you should know the poll topic.
