Google Zeitgeist: Offers a weekly list which can also be dated by a month or year in the past, or search by country. Maybe a useful trend that last one, if you sell English as a Second Language. Here's the new window:

Google also offers Google Trends: These are in real time also, so every time that you refresh your page you get a new list of keywords. Since they are in real time, you don't get any more current trends on the internet. Here's their link in a new window:

Groups and forums in your niche can be an excellent source of topics. In fact whatever the 'buzz' happens to be today one can research on it and write the article. Then post in the forum or group that you have just posted an article on the subject. You are after all helping with useful information that they were all buzzing about.


Depending on your niche or product in general, sometimes you can read the local magazine rack to see what is 'hot' right now. For instance in the summer it may fit into your 'health and or fitness' niche. This is a huge market right now.


And the news is much the same. Either on TV or right their on your web browser. After a few tries at rummaging around for it you'll get the hang of it.


These days an RSS Feed Reader is just about a must. Just imagine that if your niche is dogs and you get news on dogs. And the freshest articles posted by other webmasters on dogs, how much easier you could come up with topics.
