What are the most top three niche products for affiliate market, where there are many players and over-crowded and hard to break thru?
That's a very broad question: The first response is to endorse a network that sells those types of products. There is no 'top 3' overall. So many variables, levels, types of offers/payouts, conversion rates etc. As stupid and crazy as this product is - http://www.water4gas.com currently has a gravity of 900+ (meaning 900 people converted it at least once in the last 6 weeks, and probably makes 400-600 sales daily). Other CB offers payout $100 but rarely if ever convert - CJ has tons of huge brands for low % but high ticket prices. Independents sometimes offer the best but are quick to rip you off or sidetrack earnings.... Popular and hungry niches are: Internet Marketing WeightLoss/Health Forex/Investments High Paying Leads/Forms As Seen On TV offers Home Business Opps Relationships/dating/adult I'd say all of the above are hard to crack, but very lucrative if you do.

I'm no expert by any means so this is not any sort of insight, basicly just my own observations from trying to succeed marketing. I think this depends who you are and what position you're in to start off with, so depends on your resources. It's overwhelming to choose a program for some people because there is so many and most of them just want to go for the easy, highest paying one and that one is definately flooded. I'm sure lot's of them are flooded besides this. Marketing is just so horrible it's almost sad, I've signed up with some of them and gotten e-mails several weeks later reminding me my plan expired 3 weeks ago, and alot of them just can't bring any traffic. It's even worse because people are so mind set and they try so hard to do one thing that they don't want to move on if they have no success with it. I think it's good to be persistent with a product but I don't think you should quit after just one product if it doesn't work out for you. The Clickbank method seems like one of the best because you can choose different products and you can choose good products that take time to write about. Another big one is web hosting i think, but maybe not as much as the others. There is so much hosting I find it shocking, even free hosting.. Alot of it's the same general hosting plans and various resellers etc. I have LP hosting which gives me pretty much everything I need for less than $100 a year, 15,000 GB bandwidth and lot's of ad-ons. I have never understood how there can be so many commerical hosts out there but I do realize how large the industry is. Perhaps just having some success doesn't actually make it lucrative, but it can be.
