I’ve recently discovered Google Sets…. It’s an awesome niche finder. Here’s how it works. You type in some basics, for ex. weight loss, diet, nutrition then click the button and it finds other related niches. For the example it gave me some more general niches but you get the idea. Plug in some of your niches and see what it comes up with, I guarantee it gives you some you didn’t think of. http://labs.google.com/sets

Google Squared. How it can help you.
by Mike Guindon on Jun.04, 2009, under Tools
So if you haven’t used or even know about Google Labs Squared, I’ll give you a run down. Basically it takes what ever you search for and gives you the results in spreadsheet form. So this is how I can envision using this to an AM’s (affiliate marketer) advantage.
Lets say you have an Eharmony campaign running but you want to do direct local targeting to each major city for your campaigns. Ex. “Detroit Dating”, “Chicago Dating”, etc. That way the keyword is targeted to that local area. So instead of you having to come up with every major US city, you just use Google Squared to give you a list of all those cities.
You do a search for Major US Cities. You get it to give you a full listing of all the major cities. You close the other “cells” that are useless data to you only leaving the cities names. Now you can copy/paste into Excel, Google Spreadsheets, etc. giving you a full list of keywords. Then you can suck that info into your campaigns or build new ones (this is where I would suggest something like SpeedPPC so you don’t spend literally all day building 100′s of campaigns by hand).
