8 Great Resources to Find Out the Most Popular Things People Are Searching For Today

Remember though that Overture isn't updated anymore (not a criticism, it's still useful, but the data won't be current).

Hi

Another useful tool is wordtracker...a keyword suggestion tool

there's a free version at wordtracker.com

Hi everyone,


I also use Yahoo answers and magazines.com

It helps me out.

Hope some of you find it useful also.

Fantastic resources for any research project within and outside of the 30 day challenge. Thanks to all!

If you go to alexa.com and download the free toolbar you can see how popular every site you surf to is ;0)

Overture, unfortunately is not the resource it once was!

If you are using the US version, it only shows searches for Jan this year.

I believe the UK version is showing current results, but only really useful if you are in the UK market.

Oh God no. Don't use Alexa. Please. In fact, I'll post on this later.

For now, just don't

Take a look at your local magazine store: or check out

www.magazines.com

see how many magazines are there in your niche - it not only tells you that there is a market, it also tells you that people are willing to pay money.

I just discovered a lucrative niche this way... but I am not saying what!

Its a tiny little niche, and I was gobsmacked to find five whole magazines devoted to it.

Another cool resource is GoogSpy which tracks your competitors keyword ranking as well as paid adwords campaigns

Googspy is excellent thanks rbeyeler!

Many thanks to the other guys too for the resources
