What's promising is that google apps is one of the advertisers (meaning they're not getting enough ads to fill the space without padding their own. But, I don't know if that's what I'd search for if I were going to buy Apple Blossom. It's for people who don't want (or know) about software for curriculum.

The three top ads are all for professional child care client management software. Daycare CRM & billing software, if you will. Nothing like Apple Blossom.

Most of side ads are not for curriculum either. I get a christian preschool in Florida, a preschool franchise (Bright Horizons), more Daycare management software, generic Education software, and a not-for-profit

clihome leads to a form to talk to a "curriculum consultant" (read "salesman"). The only thing relevant seems to be "Curriculum Mapper" software -- whatever that is.

tadpole appears to be geared toward child care pickup with some activity reporting.

The top 3 search results are all for abchomepreschool which is much closer to the mark. They sell curriculums on CD, and might be a good potential curriculum provider partner.

The next 2 are for a government report

Below the fold are a couple of curriculum resources , one free (http://www.free-preschool.info/preschool_curriculum.html_ and one commercial (http://www.learningthings.com/articles/), a software program with things like spelling and flashcards (http://www.stickybear.com/)

IPC (International Preschool Curriculum) which looks interesting, and includes IPC Home School "A comprehensive preschool home study that includes all resources, teaching guides and lesson plans for ages 3 to 5."http://www.internationalpreschoolcurriculum.com/ipc-home-study/

This may be the closest thing on the market to what I envision for Apple Blossom

All this could be good news or bad. Either there's not a market, or it could be harder to locate. If I could craft the right message and there is a demand, an adwords campaign might have very useful information.

The trick is knowing if my campaign & message is inadequate, or if there isn't the demand.
