Quickie: Google Checkout Trends
Have you even wondered what “sells” online?
Imagine a tool that can give you some insight (just some, but at least better than nothing) into what people are buying and selling online, this would be killer feature, right?
So Google checkout team has built Google Checkout Trends , which aggregates the sales data of Google Checkout merchants (attention, only google checkout merchants, this doesn’t take merchants who use Paypal, Bill Me Later and other means in account) and charts it in a matter of seconds showing you what’s “hot”, and what’s “not”.
So if you’re curious in how sales of Apple ipod or Microsoft Zune compare, just visit Checkout Trends for a glimpse into online shopping.
Tips - you want a better tool which can give you a better picture on what’s sought-after items? then you should checkout ebay’s seller central on what’s HOT: They have a list of free (Ebay Pulse) and paid (marketplace research) information which will give you a good kickstart
