What’s the Buzz?
Soo…the top current terms being searched on Yahoo. Go into Yahoo and actually search for them…most of them have 0 ads…
Get creative.

Hmm, nice post. Where’d you get that screenshot from?
Emma Samms 12450%???? wtf?
I have been reading your blog for a month now. I also subscribe to it. You are very talented.
I was just wondering about this topic in terms of finding the top movers, create ads, and even generate traffic.
I would appreciate it if you and anyone else here has a chance to hit my blog, leave a comment, or add a link to your site, I would really appreciate it.
I am trying to build traffic, but if that request is inappropriate protocol, please let me know that as well!!
Thanks,
Mike

Well, I went in and set up a test of one the items on the buzz in Google and Yahoo. Google had no ads running, but wanted a $5 bid, so I just deleted it and went with Yahoo. The ad started running in 10 minutes. I will keep an eye on traffic.
Thanks –
It is interesting stuff. For someone new to the business the amount of stats and information can be quite a shock to the system yet at the same time having all this information and knowing how you use it right is very powerful.
Simple and quick post, but very informative and thought-provoking! How do you get those stats for google?

Yeah you’d be surprised… I’m making a crapload of cash off Yahoo at the moment. Some of the saturated keywords on Google have like 5 advertisers on Yahoo. I wonder how much longer this will last before someone let’s the cat out of the bag ;-)
Shhhhhhhhh.
buzz and google.com/trends hot sites for my mind.
Thanks for the tip. Seen them before but somehow forgotten about them.
So how exactly do you capitalize on…Emma Samms???

would be one way, or Dong Yun Lee has put up in Yahoo looking to refinance ad when you search for emma samms.
So it can actually be something totally unrelated?
If you could get a list of Howard Stern guest the week before they come on you would also be straight. Seems his guest always hit the top on google trends the day they appear.
This post rocks. :)
The best blog post I’ve ever read.
Yeah guys, nuff said.
Bloody brilliant and great of you to share. Most practical bit of advice you’ve posted yet IMHO. :-)

Excellent post, thank you. It’s a technique I’d like to try.
If I may, I have a question. Do you, or any of your commenters, know of a tool that would let me see the ads that are running in specific geographic locations when a search is done in Yahoo? Because I don’t live in the USA, I generally don’t see any ads (since most Yahoos search advertisers only run their ads in the US).
I know of tools that will let me do this in Google, including Adwords Anywhere and AdWordsWW … but I don’t know of one for Yahoo. I’d appreciate any leads, since that would allow me to assess competition for Yahoo advertisers, as you describe.
This is a great tip for all of us!
It just a matter of being creative. Setting up something with ZIP/e-mails offers might be also an idea here. Though you must make sure you are not going to pay too much per click.
