SECockpit, the new cloud-based SEO software from SwissMadeMarketing is making its mark as a search engine marketing tool that works faster than any other keyword tool and provides you with better, more accurate insight than any competing product. This is TRUE … I tested it!

The results SECockpit gets you for a seed keyword research and the depth to which it analyses competing webpages for the search phrases is amazing … you certainly cannot get these results with Market Samurai, Keyword Elite or any other keyword tool.

Because SECockpit runs in the cloud it can harness enormous amounts of processing power. The result is that it will return up to 200 fully processed and analyzed keywords per minute to you.

Comparable keyword tools take 1-2 minutes per keyword, depending on the speed of your Internet connection. SECockpit always works at full speed, independent of your Internet connection. It also never “clogs up” your connection or your processor and no matter how many searches you do, your IP will never get blocked or banned. It works off your browser hence you can access yor research tool from anywhere in the world and from a Mac or Windows PC.

Comprehensive and Accurate Competition Analysis:

The competition analysis (top-10 pages for the keyword) is also more accurate and comprehensive … looking at the mozRank, Page Authority, Domain Authority, Juice Links and Total Links values, you can easily decide whether or not to compete on this keyword. It also shows you the keyword search trend, which is extremely useful.

Comprehensive & Detailed Keyword Research:

SEcockpit fetches up to 800 keywords from the Google Adwords tool and you can expand further by getting more keywords from the Google Suggest and Google "Related Search Terms" scrappers.

The keywords results are color coded based on the strength of competition on the rankings on page 1 of Google. The software also indicates the approximate number of visitors you can expect from that keyword based on your ranking on page 1. It also tells you if the domain name for the key phrase is available. You can turn on or off the following columns which give you a host of additional data.

What I like even more is the added Project & Tasks Management modules which enables you to manage your projects and time effectively. SECockpit will actually create a simple list of tasks for you, so all you need to do to successfully get your site ranked is check the tasks, follow the instructions and tick the boxes!

SECockpit Training & Support:

The product comes with a very clear and concise user manual and training video series. In addition, you also get access to an exclusive, ongoing training series – called Training Bootcamp, where you can learn every aspect of SEO and website monetization with live examples and case studies.

SECockpit Testimonials:

There are many user testimonials for SEcockpit, but this one wraps it up well …

SECockpit pricing:

SEcockpit is priced on a monthly subscription basis. The special launch offer is $77 per month with the option of $297 for 6 months (which I think is an awesome deal) … think about the value of the time you would save in your keyword research by using this software.

Any Cons?

I did not find any shortcomings in the software as yet … currently its a WOW! Its got all the information you need in a single interface that enables you to see opportunities in niches and keywords with which to build your website.

SECockpit should definitely be part of your Internet marketing arsenal of tools. Check out the SECockpit intro video below (opens in a new page) …

Why Socrates is the right theme for beginner Internet marketers?

In my opinion it is multi-fold – the simplicity, the flexibility of the theme, the training and support, and most of all the experience and credibility of the creators.

Following are my top-3 reasons why the Socrates theme is the apt website building tool for new affiliate marketers -

1. The training videos – Most of us seasoned Internet marketers often wrongly assume the proficiency levels of newcomers to Internet marketing. The truth of the matter is they require very simple and basic training to get started. Joel and Dan have understood this and have put together a very simple to understand and follow basic instructions in their video tutorials that is part of the Socrates theme package. These include -

* Wordpress Installation Video
* Socrates Installation Video
* Adsense for Wordpress
* The Everything Wordpress Webinar
* Wordpress Plugins and SEO
* Cpanel and Wordpress Setup
* How To Locate Profitable Niches
* How To Profit From Trends
* How To Find A Great Domain Name
* The Best Webhost For Your Domain
* How To Get Google To Pay You Money
* How To Get Paid To Promote Other People's Stuff

2. The Layout flexibility – Socrates has built-in flexibility and easy to implement layout options which can give a unique look to your websites. These options include -

a. Multiple Sidebar Layouts You have 5 options to layout the sidebars, each giving your websites a unique look-n-feel.

b. Over 200 Niche Header Designs – There have included over 200 header graphics to cover multiple niches, including business, health, nature, people. You have the option to easily upload your own designed header too (check out XHeaderPro if you want to create more headers).

c. Custom Styling and Color Options – Yes you have multiple options for backgrounds and theme color options, all designed to make your website unique.

d. Navigation panel options You an even configure the links that you want to appear in your navigation panel.

3. The Monetization options – The is the most important part and the Socrates theme delivers powerful options. Joel Comm's experience with Adsense is in play here when it comes to the ad placements – designed for optimum conversion. Here are the monetization options the Socrates theme gives you -

a. Built In Adsense and Clickbank Ad Bar – this 768×90 ad-bar placed right at the top of the page is a very effective placement. Here you can place Adsense ads, Clickbank ads or any other affiliate product banner.

b. Two HTML Ad blocks – you additionally have 2 custom ad blocks (220×90) which randomly rotate (each time the browser is refreshed) in the area adjacent to the leader-board. Here you can promote either Clickbank or any other affiliate product.

c. Ads in post and widgetized areas – You can also place ads in the individual posts, sidebars and footer bars.

Here are some ideas on what you can do to monetize your site -

i. Whydowork Adsense Plugin – This plugin allows you to auto insert Adsense code in your posts and pages without modifying the template.

ii. CBproAds – you can add rotating Clickbank text or image ads to your individual posts as well as the widgetized areas in the sidebar and footer (using the Text Widget)

iii. CBtagClouds – You can add keyword tags (displayed as a tag cloud) in your post or widgetized areas promoting Clickbank products.

iv. PrettyLinkPro Plugin – With PrettyLinkPro, you can add affiliate links to keywords within your post.

v. OpenX Ad Server – if you want rotating ads in your leader-board and widgetized areas, you can enable them by using the free OpenX AdServer (for more advanced Internet marketers)

The Price:

The price of $77 for multiple site license with lifetime upgrades is indeed a steal for this powerful and flexible theme.

Additional Resources:

1. My Preferred WordPress Plugins

2. Clickbank Tag Clouds (CBtagClouds) – New Monetization Approach for your Blogs & Websites

3. WP-Robot – How To Get the Best Results from this Wordpress Plugin!

The concept and implementation is simple and I see it as a 'low hanging fruit' for promoting Clickbank products on your website or blog.

The cost of CBtagClouds at $47 per year is a no-brainer investment. (Note: If your membership expires, 50% of your CBcashCloud links will use your cbTagClouds Clickbank ID)

How Clickbank Tag Clouds Works?

CBtagClouds (also referred to as CBCashCloud) finds the hottest products currently on Clickbank, in the most popular categories (there are over 250 categories). The tool searches the ClickBank Marketplace for the best keywords in every category and delivers Tag Clouds like the ones below to your website or blog.

These top selling products and categories are updated weekly and saves you time on keyword research and searching for products to promote. Your websites and blogs will therefore always contain the latest, relevant, highest converting products from the most recent categories available in the Clickbank Marketplace.

The best part is that each time a visitor arrives at a page with cbTagClouds in it, a unique combination of fresh, hot selling products are featured in a brand new tag cloud. The Tags link randomly to one of the Top 10 Best Selling products in Clickbank and each product page opens in a new window, so visitors will never leave your Website.

For SiteProfitBot users, the good news is that you can add CBtagClouds to your SPB site too. You can see it at work by checking out the 'Product Tags' on my website – FirstSignOfPregnancy.org

Some shortcomings of CBtagClouds:

The following are a couple of shortcomings with the CBtagClouds product -

1. Inability to select multiple product sub-categories:

It would have been awesome if CBtagClouds.com allowed you to create the tag cloud from multiple categories … currently it only supports 1 category and the only work-around is to select the main parent category in order to get product tags from all the child categories in that segment.

2. No Language Filter:

There is no language filter and you could end up getting non-English Clickbank products promoted on your site.

Hopefully Tim Brechbill will look into these and fix them in the subsequent updates.

The above notwithstanding, I believe it is a cool monetization add-on to your websites.

LOOKING FOR A CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE?

Scroll down to the end of this post
for a cheaper alternative to The Magic Bullet!

Today is a big day for Internet marketers as Amish Shah & Jay Styles launch their much publicized product – The Magic Bullet System (not to be confused with the Magic Bullet Blender!)

Since everyone in the Internet marketing world is talking about this product, I thought I will give my commentary on it for the benefit of my subscribers and visitors to this blog. (This is not a review of the Magic Bullet System).

Before I go further, let me briefly describe what the Magic Bullet System is -

From what I have seen, read and heard, the Magic Bullet System is a comprehensive system (bundled with a comprehensive training program and an CPA Network) that can effectively run your affiliate marketing business for you. It has all the tools within the custom software to -

- Build Websites for you
- Build "Google Friendly" Landing Pages for you
- Build Blogs and Opt-in pages
- Create and optimize PPC/PPV campaigns
- Conduct in-depth market research
- Tell you what to sell and who to sell it to
- Help you to optimize your campaign, track clicks and conversions for profitable promotions, etc.

In more detail, the Magic Bullet System -

1. Builds optimized pages for you in minutes, literally – sales letter style pages, opt-in pages, blogs with content rich pages … it has all the frills like 'order buttons', 'call-to-action' graphics, legal pages etc.

2. Creates ads, draws out competitor ads and uses a proprietary algorithm to unearth the ads that has the maximum profit potential.

3. Automatically optimizes your campaign, tracks clicks and conversions from any traffic source and creates a profit profile. Helps you know your stats for your PPC networks, Content networks, Social Media Networks …

4. Automatically computes the most profitable bid for keyword enabling you to create a profitable campaign.

5. Has a comprehensive reporting system that integrates data from all aspects of your campaigns.

6. Lastly it includes a comprehensive 8-week training that covers everything from how the CPA system works to the use of the custom Silver Bullet software.

The 8-week training program covers -

Week-1: Market, Keyword & Competition Research, including customer demographics which are important in building and targeting your offers.

Week-2: Target Acquisition System – How to use the Custom software to build Landing Pages, Tracking Strategies & Linking Tactics & improving Conversions on landing pages (including the psychology of landing pages and what you should be writing on your landing pages to effectively target your demographics). You also learn about cheap traffic sources like CPV (PPV), 3rd party engines and more … You will learn how to split test offers & landing pages.

Week-3: Setting Up Campaigns and driving traffic through Google, Yahoo, Bing, CPV, others.  They also teach you how to dominate the Google Content Network, how to write convincing ad copy – techniques and the knowhow of when to use them, as well as the emotional benefits to improve ad copy and website design.

Week-4: Using Magic Bullet Auto-Tracking features. This session tells you how to read the reports that show you -

1. which keywords are working
2. which ads are working
3. which landing pages are working
4. which demographics are working
5. where the customers are coming from and where they are converting
6. testing offers (including split testing offers) to identify what is working best.

Week-5: Testing, Optimizing and Expanding your Campaigns. They teach you how the software will automatically optimize your campaigns using their proprietary algorithms.

Week-6: How to funnel massive traffic to your websites, about media buying and traffic flow.

Week-7: The Future of Affiliate Marketing

Week-8 (Bonus): Essential Elements of Managing Your Business

What Do I Think of Amish's Magic Bullet System?

I think Amish & Jay have put together a very solid product. This is something they have built and used for the past year or more and so it should be relatively bug free (assumption).

Why are they selling this product?

Other than the obvious monetary reason, I believe their strategy here is to build an army of well equipped affiliates to promote the CPA offers in their Ymultimedia CPA network (www.ymultimedia.com) … a very intelligent, long term strategy.

Is it worth the $2,997 (or 4 payments of $797) price tag?

I believe YES. In effect, with all the pieces they have thrown in, it is akin to buying an entire working business model with the training on how to run it and make it successful (I believe there is also a Mastermind continuity program that is an optional sign on – which could ensure continued success).

If you are a newcomer to the Internet marketing business or even a medium to extremely experienced one, you will find that buying pieces of software (and spending the time to learn each of them) that ultimately does what the magic Bullet System does will come up to the same price range (or maybe more) … and yet you will not have the benefit of a nicely integrated system which includes a comprehensive single window training.

The Magic Bullet System is, like it states – a complete out-of-the-box system that performs the end-to-end process of affiliate marketing using paid traffic sources.

(If your Internet marketing model  is based on SEO and free organic traffic, then this product is not for you).

An Important Point To Note:

Those of you buying this package should realize that you are buying into the business of CPA Affiliate Marketing and PPC Marketing. You need to have a decent budget set aside for PPC marketing in order to benefit from this system … so, your total cost of ownership of this system is much higher than the $2,997 price tag. You need to factor this into your purchase decision of the Magic Bullet System.

The good news is that you can test out the system and see if it fits with what you want to and can do in Internet marketing. The product comes with a 6-week 100% money back guarantee.

Is There A Cheaper Alternative to The Magic Bullet System?

YES there is! You may check out SpeedPPC which is an excellent program that does a lot of what the Magic Bullet System does. It comes with comprehensive video training and user guides too.

SpeedPPC comes in 2 flavors -

1. SpeedPPC 4 – at $397

2. SpeedPPC 4 Affiliate Pro (Best Value) – at $497

A Note of Caution to Internet Marketing Newbies:

PPC marketing requires a different mindset and a certain element of risk taking (even though the software claims to mitigate some of these risks) with campaigns potentially going awry.

I would recommend newcomers to the Internet business to grab themselves a copy of Perry Marshall's "The Definitive Guide to Google AdWords" as a starting point to learn the nuances of PPC marketing. Priced at $49, this 277-page guide is an invaluable resource.

Note: If you want to read my review on Site Profit Bot, CLICK HERE.

Rule #1 – Please don't use Site Profit Bot as a short-cut to build large number of sites without unique content. It will be detrimental for your business in the long run.

Here's what I recommend you do -

Plan your site well and follow all the steps you would normally do for setting up a quality niche site. (if you are a newbie, I would recommend you get hold of George Brown's Google Sniper course and follow his niche site strategy) – viz. market research, keyword research, writing/buying unique articles, affiliate product research etc. You can get all of these via a single tool – Market Samurai.

Once you have done all the above then get ready to launch your new niche site in a matter of minutes using SITE PROFIT BOT.

It is important that you consider Site Profit Bot as a content aggregator, i.e. an engine that can automatically collect for you themed content from a diverse source – news sites, press releases, related forum, blogs, podcasts, video sites and the like – instantly and keep continuously updating the content. Its similar to how you would use an RSS feed or multiple RSS feeds to bring fresh content to your site.

Think of Site Profit Bot as an RSS aggregator like Yahoo Pipes – albeit on steroids!

You should not use Site Profit Bot to bring in the PRIMARY content to your site, that's your job!

Once your site is up, you should do the usual promotion you would do with a website, i.e., bookmark and ping key pages, secure back links to your money pages etc.

Simple Monetization Strategy:

By default, with the basic version of the software, you get 3 advertizing zones for Adsense ads. plus Amazon and eBay listings within the site. If you want more options you need to go with the Pro version which is $47/month.

If you do not want to sign up for the $47 monthly fee, the other way you can monetize your site is by hyperlinking keywords in your articles to affiliate products (simply use HTML code in your articles).

Maximizing on the templates use:

Your basic Site Profit Bot version comes with 3 templates. These are nice looking premium magazine templates.  If you are a Pro member, you will get 1 (or maybe more) template each month. The question is, how to you do more with so little?

Here's what I suggest -Start with a mega niche and then branch out to niches and micro niches with long tail keywords. The entire niche site (comprising mega, and micro niches) can use the same template. This way you can build multiple micro niche site with a unified look and feel and your overall site will be both authoritative and well themed.

If you follow the above simple approach, you will benefit from this software and you can rapidly build your virtual real estate.

Hope you find this post useful. Please submit your comments below.

Important Note: If you CAN AFFORD Greg's WP Mage system, then this post is not intended for you. Simply head over to his website – www.wpmage.com – and order your copy there.

——————–

This post is not a review or promotional piece for the WP Mage software (which I think is a cool system) but for all of those Internet marketers who would like similar functionality at a lower price point.

There has been a lot of buzz recently about Greg Jacob's WP Mage (Wordpress Mage). Greg is offering a completely automated point and click Wordpress-based website building system.

The Wordpress Mage system is, without doubt,  a very well conceived system that delivers high productivity for an Internet marketer. The only caveat is that, like all tools, they can deliver profitable results based on responsible usage, a proper plan and execution strategy.

The problem is for many the price tag – $1,297 (or $997, if you get the $300 discount coupon).

A Cost Effective Alternative to WP Mage:

After evaluating and using various tools including the 2 membership sites – Wordpress Direct ($47/$97/$197/month) and Firepow 2.0 ($127.00/month), here is my recommended cost effective alternative to WP Mage -

1. WP Robot – $140 (matches WP Mage's Content, Affiliate & Posting modules)

combined with

WPmanagerDX – $97 (provides the CP Mage functionality).

Total cost: $237

Here is the comparison between WP Mage and WP Robot + WPmanagerDX :

1. WP Mage Content Module:

Content sources -

- eZine Articles
- Articlebase articles
- Yahoo Answers
- Flickr photos
- YouTube Videos

WP Robot Modules:

- Article module: Articlesbase.com or Sooperarticles.com
- Yahoo Answers Module
- Flickr Image Module
- Youtube Module

WP Robot includes a Translation Module that is identical to that in WP Mage.

(Note: While this may look like a useful feature to generate unique content, please note that the content will appear unique to a search engine robot, but to a human viewer, the translated content could be junk content – do you really want your website to have this type of content?).

2. WP Affiliate Mage Module:

- auction items from eBay
- products from Amazon
- products from Overstock.com

WP Robot Modules:

- Amazon Module : Automatically create Amazon product posts for any keyword you specify
- eBay module : Adds recent and popular auctions from eBay to your weblog on autopilot
- Clickbank module : drip-feeds ads from Clickbank.com

(Note: If you want a Commission Junction plugin for Wordpress (for merchants like Zappos.com, Overstock.com, Dell.com, GAP, RitzCamera, ABT, Buy.com and a lot more), you can download the free CJNiche Wordpress plugin at http://wpnicheground.com/)

3. WP Posting Mage Module:

Takes the content from sources selected in the Content Mage module and using keywords from a list, then creates thousands of posts at a click of a button.

WP Robot's equivalent functionality:

- Bulk Add Keywords feature lets you quickly add a large number of keywords and can also assign random posting intervals to them if you want similar to that offered by WP Mage.

- WP Robot includes a new MIX feature allows you to mix content from different modules with each other. By utilizing that you can for example add related thumbnails from Flickr to the article posts WP Robot creates automatically. Or you can include a related eBay auction below each Yahoo Answers post in order to monetize your blog even better. The possibilities are huge. Currently this feature is offered by the eBay, Youtube and Flickr modules.

(Note: WP mage enables a back posting feature that allows you to back-date your posts up to 4 years ago and also forward-date them to essentially drip feed content. WP Robot only allows you to forward post.)

4. CP Mage Module:

This is the WP Mage site manager. CP Mage (combined with the WP Mage engine) takes the headache out of creating and managing sites.

WPmanagerDX application provides all of the above -

with WPmanagerDX…it goes like this:

Step 1: Log into WPmanagerDX
Step 2: Click on Add New Project
Step 3: Fill in blog details
Step 4: Submit

Total time… less than 1 minute! Literally, you can watch the database get installed, WordPress uploaded and configured, plugins uploaded and activated, themes uploaded and main theme chosen, in only a few seconds.

With WP ManagerDX, you can create 12 blogs in a single hour (if you use the Single Install feature), with zero stress and very little work at all. ALSO you can use the Batch Install feature allowing you to install as many blogs you want in one go.

The real power is what you can do with centralized control. Things like this:

- Update multiple blogs all at once. For example, you can update any number of blogs with a new theme at the same time (a new feature in WP ManagerDX).

- Manage all aspects of each blog. That means you can edit everything for each one, including activating plugins

- Create as many blog templates (called Projects) as you want. Manage these in a convenient list, and generate new niche blogs from them anytime you want…with all the info pre-filled for you automatically.

- Generate multiple blogs at multiple sites from multiple Projects in minutes. (it is recommended that you install your blogs on the same hosting account)

- Backup and restore your databases. You can configure the software to backup every one of your blogs to your computer automatically…and restore whenever you need to.

- Manage all your themes and plugins in one place. You can add more, remove ones you don't need, etc.

So that's it – simply get WP Robot and WPmanagerDX and you can get the same results compared to WP Mage.

(Note: It is not absolutely essential that you buy both WP Robot and WPmanagerDX together … depending on your budget, you can get WP Robot first and then when your blog empire expands, get WPmanagerDX).

Now here is a look at what affiliate marketers must avoid in order to pick winners:

1. All that glitters is not gold! Not every affiliate product is hot even though it might seem that way when you see the hundreds of product launches happening and the profile of persons backing them. While some products suit some marketers, one size can never fit all. It is important to ensure that even though a product that has a high demand it should be something that relates to the affiliate marketer's passion or interests. How else will his best effort go into promoting it?
2. Product quality is the next factor. Test the product to see whether you would use it yourself. If it is good enough for you, then it is good enough to offer your visitors. Just promoting a high demand – high commission product when the quality is questionable does not payoff in the long term.
3. Many affiliate marketers choose products from ClickBank without adequate research. This is a simple process and can be done by browsing the Internet, visiting the relevant forums, reading reviews, and blogs related to the product before choosing it. This helps make an informed decision about the products to promote in addition to helping with different ways to promote it.
4. Ignoring keyword research. This is essential in affiliate marketing since using efective keywords ensures that targeted traffic visits your website. Targeted traffic means sales. And sales means – profit. A search engine friendly website is usually built with the right and relevant keywords based on deligent research.
5. The number of products is another issue affiliate marketers face. Considering the number of product launches, some tend to be too cautious and end up promoting very few products while others become over-ambitious and promote too many, thereby undermining or diluting their promotional effect. It is important to maintain a good balance so that the required attention can be given to each product.

So there! Just a few major mistakes that affiliate marketing wannabes and pros need to avoid!

Ever since the concept of Affiliate Partnerships was introduced by Amazon.com, affiliate programs have grown to become among the most popular ways to build an online business.The beauty of this concept is that irrespective of one's geographical location, it is possible to promote diverse products and earn a commission on each sale. The main advantage to the producer or manufacturer of the product is the kind of exposure and 'free advertising' and reach they get, building their brands across the Internet.

Because of its popularity, today there are a number of affiliate guides available, which help in product selection, product promotion methods, website building, etc. alongside a variety of other tools that will ensure online success. It makes perfect sense to choose products that relate to one's existing business website so that it is complementary, helping to convert the visiting traffic into customers.

How Affiliate Marketing Works

In affiliate marketing, there is mutual benefit for both the merchant of the product as well as the affiliate partner – a win-win situation. After the products relevant to one's existing business have been identified from a reliable source like ClickBank, Commission Junction, PayDotCom.com and the like, the first step is to sign up with them and then browse for a short-listing of products that appeal. Some of the best affiliate programs provide free sign ups and attractive commissions. In most cases, Affiliate programs offer three kinds of commissions. While some pay per click, others pay based on number of sales or leads. Affiliate programs of choice ensure that the customer's referral cookie stays active for 60-120 days and sometimes even up to a year so that the affiliate can earn a commission for all sales made via that link within the life of that cookie.

A key factor in the success of the affiliate marketer is keyword research with the help of a keyword tool. The right keywords help in determining which products and niche markets are the most profitable. This is important in terms of traffic generation, since no traffic equals no sales. Keywords are the vehicle that brings in traffic to the affiliate's website via the search engines.

Freedom To Promote A Variety Of Products

The best part of affiliate marketing is the freedom to sign up for as many products as one desires. Of course, it is critical to select the right products – especially those that are in demand and that are likely to generate significant profits, which, in essence is the singuar aim of affiliate marketing. Also, affiliate guides underline the need to develop multiple sources of income so that even if one affiliate product is withdrawn, there are others that can be offered to the customer so that they don't leave your website without buying anything.

Finding the top ClickBank products is critical to make your affiliate marketing plan a success. Many people have complained about not making any money from ClickBank affiliate program. One of the key reasons for this it that they have not been promoting the best-selling ClickBank products. If you don't have a hold in the best ClickBank niches, there's absolutely no way you'll earn any profits.You can easily find the top ClickBank products on ClickBank itself- simply go to a category you like and select a product. You will notice that each selection has a set of figures assigned to it – the one called 'gravity' relates to the popularity of the product. The best-selling ClickBank products usually have a high gravity reading. But the caveat here is that it doesn't always mean they are the best products to promote.

Top ClickBank products with good potential should have a gravity rating between 10 and 60. It is fair that many people think that the higher the popularity rating, the better the product. After all, that means a lot of people want to buy it, right? This may be true but consider this simple scenario. If you run the only flower store on the street, you'll probably make good money. If you run a flower store in a flower market, your business landscape changes considerably.

It is important to remember that the best ClickBank niches aren't necessarily the most popular ones. This is due to something known as market saturation- i.e. the market already has a number of affiliates in it which makes it that much harder for you to make a sale. Top ClickBank products in areas like business and health are pretty difficult to crack. Instead of focussing on winning business strategies, you'll be spending your time trying to stay afloat in a crowded marketplace.

The secret to picking the top ClickBank products is to find something, which has a demand that exceeds the supply. You can easily do this with a bit of keyword and key phrase research on the search engines. The best-selling Clickbank products are also those whose market hasn't become saturated yet- which means that there is ample room for you to start a marketing campaign that will bring in the traffic. These are usually markets, which rank near the top, but a number of affiliate marketers don't see them because they are too busy looking at the highl popular products.

The best ClickBank niches are not the ones at the very top – they are the ones that are near the top. You'll find that these actually hold the top ClickBank products and will bring in most profits.
