Amir,
You can use Google Trends to see if people are searching for related terms. You should also try those queries in Google, Yahoo and Bing to see what the competition is, if any at all.
Enjoy,
Randy

Ideas are cheap. It's the realization of them that makes difference.
Books are good for obtaining background knowledge on the subject. But you will have to take a pencil and a paper and write down answers to the following questions: "What value will my application bring to people? How will they benefit from it? How will it save their time, make their life easier in some way or another?"
The answers will guide the further research. If your application isn't going to satisfy a need, it's unlikely that people will pay for it. And you need to 'go to the fields' and ask people if they will like your application and be ready to pay for it. Their answers will give you a lot of new ideas.
In other words, stop thinking fancy marketing terms like 'target audience', 'segmentation' and suchlike. Think simple - 'Will people need my application?', 'Why would they pay for it that price?'.
There's a looong way from having an idea and making that idea commercially viable. You can end up selling something entirely different from what you envisioned at the start.

Blocking external links in Robots.txt - need advice on Best Practice
I look after an affiliate site that is doing quite well in the search rankings. We've been doing a review of our practices and one thing that has cropped up is our robots.txt. In it, we disallow Google from crawling external links. This used to be best practice in the affiliate industry a couple of years ago, but I wanted to know if this is still the case, and what the implications are if we were to: a/ leave it as is? b/ allow crawling? Thanks in advance.

Affiliate marketing: yes or no?
Hello, A colleague recently asked me about affiliate marketing for our clients, and my answer for a few years now has been emphatically "no", because I had not seen it done in positive way. How does everyone weigh in affiliate marketing, and what companies and/or software would you suggest? For example, is http://www.admedia.com/ a reputable source? I see lots of bad reviews on these guys. Any thoughts, suggestions, etc would be extremely valuable. Thanks in advance!

How to setup affiliate marketing for my website?
I work for an ecommerce company and would like to setup some sort of affiliate marketing similar to Amazon. 1. If someone was referred to our site and they made a purchase we would pay out. 2. If we referred a user to someone else's page and they made a purchase we would get paid. I looked into http://www.commissionfactory.com/ but wasn't sure if that would meet my needs. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Ecommerce affiliate marketing comparison engine
Does anyone know if there is such a thing as an ecommerce comparison platform for affiliate programs? Something that would say, take a particular product, and let the user compare between Amazon, eBay, Walmart (all would be through affiliate programs). Does such a thing exist? Or is such a thing even feasible? oops, sorry for multiple posts, please let me know if i can delete somehow

I need help setting a campain
I am setting a campaign and I put the first page as a main route. Sample www.sample.com On this page people need click on a enter button because it is and adult page. After that everything redirects to www.sample.com/home.php Where you find all the links on the web page such as about, blogs, contact, promotions and so on. The problem that I see it's that I already set up the campaign but detects only one page. How can I see the errors of missing meta tags of the other inside pages. Should I set up the campaign and in my domain shall need to be www.sample.com/home.php instead of www.sample.com any wise advise on this?

Best way to start affiliate marketing a new mens magazine website?
I have just started up a new mens magazine website featuring articles, videos, sports news and photos to help drive traffic to the website. I write all the articles myself and do the social media updates in my spare time. I was wondering if anyone has any tips on the best way to start doing affiliate marketing for a new website? I was inspired to do this by successful internet marketers who make a passive income off their websites. So far I have added Amazon and William Hill as affiliate links as I think my target market will be looking for these types of product links. Also, for anyone who has experience in this, how long it taken for your blog to become successful and make money? Many thanks, Alex
