I have been watching and reading the Cow vs Conn articles on the two competing
Blogs and each are acquiring the same goal but with different methods. Both Bloggers
know what they are doing and have consistently produced money-makers.

The main thing I learned before attempting to start any project Blog is to decide on
the "niche" you are going to build your Blog around. What is everybody "searching"
for and want to buy or acquire information on, which also exposes your readers to
your Affiliate program offers and Ads such as Google Adwords.

Placing your Blog in front of the top rated Search Engine categories is the key
if you want to make money from your site. What if you could predict what people are
going to be looking for in the near future and have your website or Blog setup and
waiting in the wings for that niche to explode? I imagine that would make an online 
Marketers dream come true.

There are some that have a knack for this and can predict which way the market or
people "interests" are shifting, most of the time. However, this is a very fluid and
unpredictable basket to put all your eggs in.

Why am I exploring this subject today? Gas prices are soaring at crazy heights lately
and looks like that trend will continue. The affect is making people change their lifestyle
such as canceling that road trip that was planned for the summer, parking that
second car, moving closer to work, and trading in for a more fuel-efficient vehicles,
to name a few.

On the highway I noticed at least 5 "Smart" cars on my travel to the city of Halifax
here in Nova Scotia, Canada a couple days ago. Yesterday I came to the "lights"
and there was another one of those "Smart" cars in front of me waiting for the
light to change. I was thinking to myself...Yep, the people that came up with that
car have just made it into the big time. Two years ago, I saw one of those cars on
the highway maybe every half a year or so but now they are popping up everywhere.

There you go...someone had the foresight to visualize what people will want in the
near future with the rise in oil costs per barrel; a car that can run a full week on what
you would normally burn in gas in a day in that family van sitting in the driveway.

Of course there is a lot of competition already with Hybrid and fuel cells but these
options are too costly for the average guy or gal out there so the "Smart" car is a
reasonable alternative.

Marketers and businesses have gone under trying to predict these trends but the lucky
few or "smart" ones, who hit a home run will become millionaires overnight.

So..., am I going to spend hours trying to predict the future? Nope! I'll keep on learning
on how John Cow and Garry Conn are so successful at what they do.
