Great research tools, terry, thanks! I especially like the idea of looking for hot DVDs on Amazon. I’ve been looking into selling information products on Amazon. Maybe you can comment on the new Amazon Kindle and how to position ourselves with ebooks on the Amazon ebook network.

Great blog. I will visit again.
Please do visit my blog. You may find it interesting
I am coming up on one year on the Internet and am just as lost as I was at the start. I have been on google’s # 1 page with no traffic to my site. I get email all day long promising to show me how to make $$$ in one day all I have to do is send $$$.
I like working on the Internet it is fun but I would like to make a few $$$

This is a great resource Terry! And it’s nice to have them all in one place. Thanks. And I agree with Frederick, I also like the idea of looking at hot DVDs on Amazon.

[...] 10 Research Sites You Should Bookmark [...]
You have compiled an excellent resource for the budding web entrepreneur. I have only been reading this blog for a short time and already I have found something I thing needs to be shared with the visitors on my own site.
Good list here – and there are a couple I’d not known about.
I’d suggest adding http://www.alexa.com to the list. Great way to see a couple things:
1) What other sites people who visit a page also visit.
2) What a page looked like in the past (via the wayback machine)
Nice informative list that you have compiled here.
Keep up the great work!

Terry – love your 10 reasearch sites to bookmark.
Do You know where I can find Internet based facts ? Are there any research companies that realease data to the public or do I need to pay for it?
Tom
Terry – Great list, I’ve bookmarked this.
I’ll throw a few into the mix;
- World News Sites; bbc, nbc and so forth for tracking recent events.
- Tech sites; techcrunch and gizmodo, if you’re into that sort of thing
All the best.

I have used several of these recommendations. True time savers. I enjoy findarticles.com for research myself. It is nice to know what others are looking for without spending days of online research to find out.
