Do you want to promote popular products?

How can you find current lists of popular keyword searches for hot products already organized by category?

Is this an impossible dream?

Not at all.

See Shopping.com’s Consumer Demand Index for a list of all their categories. Click the category name to see a list of relatively current keywords and search phrases.

If you then click one of the search phrases, you’ll go to a page that lists the products related to that term on Shopping.com.

Yes, Shopping.com is a competitor if you are promoting popular products through your affiliate links, but look at it another way. They’ve done a lot of your keyword research for you, and they’re making it available, for free.

In addition, they group everything by category.

These pages should help you in your brainstorming and keyword research.

I wouldn’t depend on this as my only source for keywords, but it’s a nice tool if you promote the products they list or similar products.

On the other hand, if you’re shopping instead of marketing, is this a helpful page?

Who does it help most? Shoppers or marketers? Customers or competitors?

What do you think? Helpful or not?

Act on your dream!
