Shopping.com 's Hidden Free Keyword Research Tool and Niche Directory

Now owned by Ebay, giant comparison shopping site Shopping.com has a directory page of product categories you can use for niche ideas.

Even better when you click on the categories, a list of the top 100 keyword searches for the category is displayed ALONG with all the other searched keywords 100 at a time via links at the bottom of the page! Now if someone can build a scraper for this… heheh! This is one of my new favorite keyword tools and hardly mentioned as a source for ideas and keyword research. A great resource for buy words that might outrival Overture’s and Wordtracker’s free tools.
