Being able to write about current issues that are really popular is a great way to gain lots of traffic and visitors. But how can you find out what those topics are? In this article I am going to give you 3 tips on where to go to discover popular topics in your particular niche whatever that might be.
Google Search
Using Google search is a great way to find topics that are popular. When you use Google you can specify where you want to search in terms of:
- news
- video
- images
- shopping
- maps
- books, etc.
Using this tool is really helpful at finding current topics of interest. I like to use the news search feature.
Type in a search phrase relevant to your niche and then click on news. What news items come up? How recent are they? You should find plenty of ideas for topics that are currently popular.
If you want, you can set up an email alert by scrolling to the bottom of the search page.
Items that are in the news are generally popular.
Forums
Forums are a great source of information. Find active forums in your niche and observe the topics that people talk about.
To find forums in your niche just go to Google and type in your niche and the word forum. You'll find plenty to choose from but make sure that they have lots of members and that those members are interacting on the forum regularly.
Which are the most common ones? Which ones get the most views and interaction?
If you see a spike in activity then this indicates it is currently very popular.
Google Trends
This is another very useful tool. Go to Google trends and type in a relevant keyword phrase for your niche and see if there is any data. The more data the better.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will see related trends. This is where you can find some great popular topics and see if they are rising in trend.
This tool is also helpful if you are targeting a particular country as you will be able to see trends according to location as well.
Having an idea of the trends and popular topics within your niche helps to keep you up to date with what issues and problems people are having and therefore enables you to know what solutions or products to create that your target market need.
