Ringtones Myspace Trends

Posted on May 30, 2007 in Affiliate Tips, Google, Ringtones  

With affiliate Marketing and online marketing you come to watch trends to see whats hot and whats not. Before I run an offer i always search on Google Trends for the targeted terms just to see whats going on in the world of search. I look to see if it is holding steady, gaining ground or taking a nose dive. This helps me gage if i want to pour a little or a lot of dough into the project. I was just playing around and was checking out a few intersting trends.

Ringtones:

As you can see volume wise ringtones were big in 2004 and 2005 and even into 2006 but has steadily dropped off. Overall what does that mean less people are searching for ringtones. Overall it means if you are only banking on Ringtones for you online income you should be looking elsewhere. I always say diversify just like with stocks. Uou never know when a hot niche will dry up or the cat will be out of the bag for your loss of huge profits.

Myspace:

As you can see and as everyone knows Myspace had a huge year in 2006 and continues to grow in 2007. But i have to ask the question of how many myspace accounts that are beign created now are done by marketers trying to bulletin and message spam the users. With the huge volume doesnt always mean huge profits as most people that have tried myspace you have to get large volume to make a buck.

With that said the real point fo the post is to utilize tools that are out there. Check out trends, see whats hot in the news, whats taking off, whats making a nose dive. Keep a pulse of what people are searching for find a way to market to them that isn’t the same hum drum way and you can turn it into big profits.

    I have seen my ringtone income take a pretty substantial hit recently, though my traffic is organic.

    Keeping up on trends is a must.

    This is by far (to me) the best tool Google has given to us internet marketers (besides adwords =))

    As with any tool. If you don’t put it to use it does know good. People come across great tools and then never use them, this is a big downfall why guess at something when you can know the results.

    Google Trends is great.. I think it’s helpful to see common patterns where spikes happen to help determine when & whether it’s worth promoting an offer.

    Great tip.
