You can also find other high traffic topic by using the Icon Interactive Tool. Using data from the month before, the Icon Interactive Tool allows you to see how many times a keyword was searched for in the major Search Engines. The major Search Engines (by some estimates) account for about 80% of all Internet searches. This tool is therefore very helpful in gaging overall demand and traffic potential.

1. Go to http://www.iconinteractive.com/tools/keyword.php
2. Type in the topic and click on the 'Go' button.
3. The keyword should have at least 50k searches. A keyword with a volume of 50-100k is Good. A keyword with a search volume of between 100k-300k is Very Good. And a keyword with search volume of 300K+ is Excellent.

Below you will also find a link to a video that will show you to find current hot topics .
Note: This video was intended to be viewed by “Bum” Marketers but it works just as well for locating current and profitable niche topics: http://ultrabums.com/Vids/LIVE-Buzz.html


Another easy way to find hot topics is to lurk around forums and see what topics garner the most attention. At the Warrior Forum, for example, spotting hot topics is very easy to do. To the left of each post is a little folder icon.

If the folder is on fire, people are very interested in the topic of the post. On the far right column is the number of times the topic has been viewed and to the left of that is number of comments people have made on that post. The best subjects will have 40+ comments and 500+ views. The higher both of these numbers are the better.

If you look at the screen shot below you will notice that the topic 50 Tips On Getting More Traffic To Your Website has been viewed 13,204 times! This means if you started a blog on traffic generation you would (ironically) generate a substantial amount of traffic to your blog. Choosing a blog topic based on the popularity of topics found at forums is great way to get free traffic from those forums.

The reason being that by making similar posts you too will draw a lot of attention and this attention will result in traffic from those who click on your signature file (you can set your blog URL as your signature file). If you had made the post below, for example, you could have easily picked up thousands of hits to your blog.

Remember, there is no point in starting a blog unless it is geared towards an in demand, profitable topic. Remember too that it is not uncommon for blogs to outrank other websites competing for the same keywords because your blog regularly delivers fresh, quality content.
This means more traffic for you. Also, just because a topic has a lot of competition doesn't necessarily mean it is not worth starting a blog about.

For example...
For highly skilled marketers, there are generally 3 kinds of products considered relatively easy to sell despite lots of competition:
1. Sex
2. Money Making Information
3. Weight Loss Products

These products naturally have a great deal of competition but it's still possible for a new product introduced in one of these markets to make money. The reason is because the appeal of these product types is so extreme that the overall market is difficult to saturate. This is really not
surprising when you consider that each of the above product types appeals to at least 50% of the US population.

So if you start a blog about anything within the Internet Marketing niche, for example, and spend a lot of time learning about your chosen topic, promoting your blog, and adding great content, you should have no problems getting traffic given the massive demand for information related to making money online.
