Well, we’ve hit another new year and there’s even more money to be made this year than last… research shows that Online Sales continue to go up as we move through each year.

It’s January 10th, 2008 and there’s a lot of time to start making money already.

So here’s a few ideas for anybody looking for “what’s hot”.

Off the top of my head:

• Valentines Day is coming soon
• Tax Season is starting…

But there’s other ways to get ideas, and that includes Google Hot Trends and Ebay Pulse.

You can use these free tools to see what’s hot NOW, rather than using Keyword Research to show you, which is NOT a good way to check, especially using tools that are not actually related to a Major Search Engine (WordTracker,KeywordDiscovery, Nichebot, etc). These Search Engines collect current data, while Keyword Databases can be up to a year old.

Never rely on Keyword Data from one of those Keyword Databases to give you reliable and accurate results… you’ll be in for a surprise… and not a good one.

Those products are great for Keyword research but your brain is the Ultimate tool. Remember that.

There’s also AdLab by Microsoft.
