This article won't be discussing anything about the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) way of keyword research and targeting. What I am giving you today are few tips and techniques that can give you an idea or two what to post or write about (for a certain day or month) that can instantly generate traffic for your website or blog.
Google Trends - http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends
Google trends is often the most overlooked keyword research tool by many. I always use or check this Google tool everytime want something that is quite easy to write about but can give me enourmous traffic in such short amount of time or with minimal effort.
If you will check Google trends, you will see a lot of terms or keywords that is hot and trending at Google search right now. But don't jump and write immediately something about those big bolded words displayed in there because you might end up competing for a phrase that has been populated by news authorities. Try checking out the Related Searches of each term and target them or use them as your post title. They are long tails which might be give you traffic in every little ways.
Yahoo - http://www.yahoo.com/- Yahoo News and Trending Now, has lots of interesting news and Trending articles to write.
Do you have any other tips where we can get topics for our blog?

Thank you very much for this. I'm always plagued with writer's block, not knowing what else to write. This post will be a great help.

This shall be my guide in doing my writings. It is so difficult to look for a topic especially if you're not following a niche for your blog. Just like me more often I write a blog just for the sake of liking it.

Thanks for the yahoo tip. I use trends from time to time but I never used yahoo. Now I try to check yahoo phil to see what's popular. It's rare that I find something I can write about since I like to write only about things related to my niche, but it's nice when I do.

Google trends is what I typically use for my blog articles!

I had never used google trends or yahoo trending now since my niche is more of travelling. This is more useful for general bloggers who write hot topics and current ones.

Those two ways are really proven working. In addition, I personally use bookmarking sites like Digg, StumbleUpon to know what's trending worldwide.

hmmm, wouldn't hurt to try it sometime. haven't really blogged abt stuff w/ the intention of getting traffic. got my own niche and that's what I write abt.
But this idea is likewise great.
