Good question. I wish I knew the answer. I've been looking for ages and just can't seem to find anything that isn't completely saturated. Maybe find something that isn't on clickbank? Something from a different site? I don't know. Hope someone has some usefull suggestions.

Use ezinearticles to find most-viewed articles, then figure out what products are being sold by those articles. If there is a strong demand for the articles, and there is a product oriented solution, then there is a good market.

Use cbengine or cb-analytics to examine the products and find out if they are selling. If they are, start doing your keyword research to find some terms that you can compete with in the search engines.

A hot product does not mean you can't compete.

Well I have never trusted these "gravities" of top ranking products. I use the regular methods with which most of us are familiar here to identify the markets, and its demand, and then i search CB for a suitable product to promote without taking into consideration the gravity of that product, and so far I have never failed in making good commissions from such products with either low gravity or zero gravity etc.

I used Clickbank Analytics.

Since ClickBank doesn't disclose product sales info in its marketplace, I think you can sort by "Popularity" to see the list of "top" selling products in each category and/or sub-category.

The most popular product would usually have high gravity figure but it might not be the one with the highest gravity.

When a product is popular there will be more competition. To beat the competition, you need to add value to what the vendor is offering, e.g. by offering some relevant bonuses.

You will find tons of low competition products that have yet to be exploited by affiliates.

CBengine is actually pretty easy to use. Also, sort the products by cheapest, best commission using the drop down menu on Clickbank.

I wouldn't put too much stock in popularity rankings. I've been involved in the dating advice niche for years and there is one product on clickbank that became quite popular. On the product owner's affiliate tools page he has a screenshot of his number two ranking in the Love and Romance section. I bought that product a few years ago... an ebook and it looked like it was written by my ten year old nephew! Very low quality to say the least.

But...

His marketing was obnoxious and I believe he had several good connections in the inner circle.

You just never know. Best way is to review the product yourself and see if you want to promote it. I would NEVER promote something I haven't reviewed first for quality. That's a must!

Don't try to reinvent the wheel. CB is great because it actually shows you what is selling and more importantly what is converting for affiliates. Don't look at it as a bad thing that there are other people making money. Look at it as insurance that if I see what they are doing I can make money with this product to because there is a demand for it. What you have to do first is go to google and enter the product name in quotes to see who is your direct comp.. The top ten are the ones you want to focus on seeing what they are doing to promote. Second, see how many back links they have using Yahoo site explore to see if you can compete using the exact product name. If they only have a few backlinks then you can simple build your squeeze page or review site and write keyword rich content articles that point back to your main site using hubpage, squidoo, blogs, etc. If they have alot of back links then you will need to come up with your own keywords and do the same thing. So if the CB product is called "Instant Stop Snoring Program.com" and you can't out build the top ten sites in backlinks then do something like Stop Snoring Now.com or No More Snoring.com. So if snoring is the main keyword just make sure your keywords are in your url, title of articles and in the body of the articles. You can also skip most of this and use PPC but that requires alot of testing and money spending if you don't know what you are doing.

Cbtrends.com is pretty good. I would like to also know if there are more sites like this.

Hi

I have been lurking here for month and I just had to post on this thread. The way I choose the product is all dependent on how confident I can be the product will sell. High gravity products will also bring high competition but you do know they sell. If you are just starting out choose your product carefully, Do your research, look on various forums and sites on the web to see what people are saying and looking for. Use yahoo answers check to see if the product is being talked about. If it is then try to find keywords that will work for the product and then go out and test test test. You will not get a sure fire seller everytime but your research should cut down on the ones that don't sell.

I cannot stress how much research is important and don't shy away from low gravity or no gravity products as these could be good sellers but have just been marketed badly.

Thanks

Pete
