NicheFinder was a keyword research tool I co-authored in 2002. It analyzed search engine statistics to find good profitable keywords and business ideas. People really liked it, as you can see from the testimonials below. I must note that the business has been sold and re-sold further, I have no contact with the current owner, and I don't even know if there is still a working version available for sale.
"What a terrific program! Thank you very much!
You kindly sent me the free version yesterday
and already it's given me some great ideas.
I am currently enrolled in a program to find
a "niche" and build an affilliate site around it.
The software we are using [SBI], while very good,
only lets you research once a week due to use
of resources. Yes I'm definitely buying this!
And I shall recommend it to our program mentors
for anyone who is stuck like I was.
I don't have a domain name yet as am still
in the "brainstorming" stage of picking a site concept.
However I have now found a subject - thanks to NicheFinder.

"I am in the process of setting up an internet store with "physical"
products. This has proved to be a big challenge!
I am happy to tell you that NicheFinder has been invaluable. I was
floundering around not sure what I was doing. When I started using
NicheFinder it made it very easy to find the keywords that I will need to
use for target marketing, SEO, and PPC campaigns.
I cannot give you a dollar amount, but I know that my store will be far
more successful due to the data your program has given me.
It even helped me pick a domain name that should be beneficial!
The new updates are going to make this program absolutely the top of the
line.
I can't begin to thank you enough!
P.S. As one friend to another - You really need to increase
your price especially with the updates. I have paid more
for a lot less!
Thanks again for a great program."

"Nichefinder has consistently identified profitable niche areas for me to
target in my affiliate business. Type in a phrase, click the button, and
NicheFinder comes back with up to 500 relevant phrases and enough
information about each phrase to tell you which ones will be profitable.
For ease of use, quality of information returned, and value for money,
NicheFinder gets my vote."

"I have used NicheFinder extensively to source niche words for the very
competitive gas scooter market. As a result, I have achieved consistent top
5 rankings on a large range of niche words, and have enjoyed good conversion
rates.
You really have a neat product
that works very efficiently. It's almost impossible for me to compete against
the big guys on keyword "gas scooters", but with your product, the niche words
were easy to find, and have put in a top 2% tier."

"Hi Val,
Thank you so much, NicheFinder is now 100 times better than it was before,
I just love it. I 've tried them all and this is the absolute best there
is. And thank you for your great customer service.
I have tried Niche Database, WordTracker, Good Keywords, Site BuildIt!,
Ad Word Analyzer, Market Research Wizard... Of course, the Overture tool,
Google, etc.
NicheFinder is fast, simple to use, gives me everything I need to know,
including the number of ads on Google and Overture, it's fully sortable,
has KEI, demand, etc. It's just a dream to use, I love it, just perfect.
I liked the older one too, but this new version I LOVE."

"Check the review I wrote for BizToolReview...
I wouldn't be without it, and I recommend it
to all.
Review fragments:
...If you have an idea for a new online business, don't make
a move until you play with NicheFinder...
...I say "play" with NicheFinder because it is so much fun.
That's right, FUN. it takes the long and boring task of
researching a market niche or a new idea, and turns it
into a game. I can honestly say that I have never had so
much fun with a serious business tool...
...I have not had the NicheFinder very long, so I want to be
honest about that. But from the time I have spent with it
I feel that I picked a winner when I purchased this software...
I hope that this did you folks some good. You delivered a product
that is worthy of it's price by far. I will not hesitate to promote
it in any way I can.
Now I must get serious with my friend, NicheFinder. I have a
project that I am working on, and I can't wait to start playing
with it again!"

Content Pages", as Ken Evoy of SiteSell.com highly recommends.
I have found some good keywords that I would NEVER have
conjured up on my own!"

"This amazing new marketing research tool
is fun to use while also being fast and efficient.
It lets you find out what business ideas of yours
might fly online. And better than that, it helps
generate tangent ideas you may never have
thought of. It's well worth getting."

"It was fun watching the Supply vrs. Demand
for each phrase, gives me a lot of food for thought
about marketing to certain niches. People have
to REALLY understand the benefit of doing this
niche research. Comparing to what common
keyword suggestion tools do, your software does
much more. Just to see what has been searched
is no use if you don't know how much competition
you're up against. Your software does exactly that -
it fills the gaps of information for entrepreneurs!
I will implement the ideas your software gave me,
and I will recommend it to my friends."

"Lifepathnum.com has been up for about 4 years. I had some question as to
whether numerology was a valid web business. In running the NicheFinder I
discovered that the potential was even better than I had hoped.
Because of the NicheFinder results, I was encouraged to totally revise the
site to a marketable condition. Since the change, I am beginning to see a
tremendous increase in traffic, and a corresponding increase in business.
I am now receiving in a week the number of hits to the site that I was receiving
in a month. Sales are up just under 300% since I revised the site and used
the NicheFinder keywords.
The increase has been caused by a number of factors, but I would not have
implemented any of them without the backing from the NicheFinder report.
I would have hesitated to put in this much time and effort without the assurance
of the NicheFinder results.
My partner and I are also setting up 6 additional sites. We have used the
NicheFinder to weed out the less viable products. The NicheFinder is great
for picking up additional key words."
